Page 10: Recording Data Plate Information
The data plate contains the incubator model number and serial number. Record this information for future reference. On the SCO58 the data plate is located on the back of the unit, on the top right side. On the SCO31 and SCO40 the data plate is toward the bottom and back of the unit’s right side. -
Page 11: Installation
INSTALLATION MBIENT ONDITIONS The SCO Incubators are intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15C and 30C (59F and 86F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C / 77F). Allow a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) between the incubator and walls or partitions, and 2 inches (5cm) of clearance above the top of the incubator for unobstructed airflow. -
Page 12: Lifting
CCESS TOPPER The SCO58 Incubator is provided with an access port located on the right side of the unit. The incubator is shipped with one (1) rubber access port stopper. The stopper should come installed in the port inside the incubation chamber. The stopper should always be installed in the chamber to obtain the best temperature uniformity and prevent condensation from forming inside the port. -
Page 13: Connect The Co Supply To The Incubator
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) ONNECT THE UPPLY TO THE NCUBATOR Note: Always use medical grade CO . Use of non-medical grade CO risks introducing contaminants into the chamber, may damage the incubator, and will void the incubator’s warranty. Always install the in-line filter provided with the unit tubing kit between the gas source and the incubator. -
Page 14: Shelving Installation
1. Squeeze each shelf clip when installing. Insert the top tab first into shelf mounting standard, and then the bottom tab using a rocking motion. a. SCO58, install six (6) clips for each shelf. Two (2) each on the left, right, and back walls of the incubation chamber. -
Page 15: Cleaning And Deionized Water
Use of DI water in a Shel Lab incubator voids the unit’s warranty. Sheldon Manufacturing recommends the use of distilled water in the resistance range of 50K Ohm/cm to 1M Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of 20.0 uS/cm to 1.0 uS/cm, for cleaning and any humidifying applications. -
Page 16: Graphic Symbols

Page 20: Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Heating and CO Control The incubator uses a microprocessor controller board wired to a solid state temperature probe, a heating element located in a recirculation duct, as well as a blower fan in the duct, to monitor and regulate the temperature within the incubation chamber. - Page 21 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Accessory Compatibility Make sure that any accessory equipment you will be using inside the incubator can safely and effectively operate at your selected temperature and CO set points. The Over Temperature Limit System (OTL) When set, the OTL system prevents runaway heating in the event of a failure of the microprocessor controller board or its thermometer probe by depowering the heating element whenever the temperature in the incubation chamber exceeds the OTL setting.

OPERATION (CONTINUED) ET THE EMPERATURE OINT Perform these steps to prepare the unit for calibration. The unit comes from the factory set to 37°C 1. Turn the Over Temperature Limit control dial clockwise to the maximum position indicated by the largest dot. This prevents the Over Temperature Limit system from interfering with the Set the Temperature Set Point and Temperature Calibration procedures. -

Page 28: Calibrating The Co Display
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ALIBRATING THE ISPLAY Note: The CO display and sensor come calibrated from the factory to a 5% concentration at 179 Feet (54 meters) above sea level. The calibration procedure verifies the accuracy of the CO reading and corrects for any measurement errors. Calibrate as often as required by your laboratory or production protocol, or regulatory requirements. - Page 29 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Calibrating the CO Display (Continued) If there is a difference between the readings, and that difference falls outside your laboratory protocol’s acceptable range, place the incubator into calibration mode by pressing and holding the CO Control Up and Down arrow buttons. ...
- Page 30 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Calibrating the CO Display (Continued) Reference 6. Compare the reference CO analyzer reading to the reading of the incubator CO display. a.

OPERATION (CONTINUED) UTING THE UDIBLE LARM Visual high and low deviation indicator alarms will activate if the incubator’s CO level deviates 1% above or below the CO set point. An audible alarm will sound immediately for a high deviation. The low deviation audible alarm will sound after the visual low indicator alarm has been continually illuminated for fifteen (15) minutes. -
Page 32: Loading The Incubator
OPERATION (CONTINUED) OADING THE NCUBATOR Sheldon Manufacturing recommends allowing the unit to run for at least 24-hours heated to temperature and supplied with CO prior to loading samples after installing in a new location. Place items on the shelves inside the incubator chamber as evenly spaced as possible. Good spacing allows for maximum air circulation and a high degree of temperature uniformity. -
