Alarm Contact
The incubator can be connected to an on-site, external alarm system (such as a private branch
telephone exchange, a facility monitoring system, visual or audible alarm indicators). For this
purpose, the devices come with a pre-wired potential-free alarm contact (item 3 in

AC Power Socket
The incubator is connected to the AC supply mains via the socket (item 4 in
which accepts a power cord with an IEC standard plug.
Fuses
Two 16 A slow-blow fuses mounted on the incubator's main electronic circuit board protect
internal circuitry from the impact of excessive power consumption.
