Installation

Ambient Conditions

Location Requirements

Built-in incubators can, heating and drying ovens must be operated with an air exhaust system
and exhaust hose (only original Thermo accessory should be used).
For safety reasons, the installation space should be made of non-combustible materials,
according to DIN 4102.
The incubator must only be operated in a location that meets all of the ambient condition
requirements listed below:
• Installation location indoors in dry areas free from drafts.
• The dust burden may not exceed the contamination category 2 based on EN 61010-1.
Using the incubator in an atmosphere with electrically conductive dust is prohibited.
• The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see Section
"Space Requirement"
• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
• Solid, level, fire-proof surface; no flammable materials opposite to the rear panel of the
incubator.
• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of
the incubator and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
• The electrical circuitry of the incubator has been designed for an operating height of up to
2000 m above sea level.
• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
• Should condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before
connecting the incubator to a power source and powering up.
• The ambient temperature must be within a range of +18 °C to +32 °C (64.4 °F to 89.6 °F).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
