Environmental conditions
The VWR 18L personal incubator device must only be operated in a location that meets all of the
specific ambient condition requirements listed below:
Location requirements
• Dry place of erection within a closed space which is free from droughts.
• Dust loading should be in keeping with the degree of contamination, which is Degree 2 according
to IEC 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 3.3).
• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
• Solid, level, fire-proof surface.
• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of the
device and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
• The electrical circuitry of the device has been designed for an operating height of up to 2000 m
above sea level.
• The permissible ambient temperature is between +18 °C and 32 °C (+64.4 °F and + 89.6 °F) for an
incubation temperature of between 17 °C and 40 °C (62.6 °F and 104 °F).
• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
• Dew is to be avoided, e.g. after changes of location or transportation. Should condensation exist,
wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before connecting the device to a power source
and powering up.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the device.
• Storage temperature: When the device is placed in intermediate storage, make sure that the
ambient temperature is between 20 °C and 60 °C (68 °F and 140 °F) and the maximum relative
humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.
