9.0 Temperature Calibration
The temperature control software allows for user calibration of the temperature settings. First,
measure the temperature in the middle of the chamber after allowing the temperature to equilibrate
for two hours. The temperature should be measured with a digital calibrated thermometer with
precision 0.1°C or more. After allowing the temperature to equilibrate 2 hours, read the temperature
on thermometer and compare it with the temperature on the LED display. This difference between the
thermometer and the display is the value which you will enter into the unit to recalibrate it.
Example 1: Temperature on thermometer is 37.9°C, temperature on display is 37°C.
The difference is 37.9 – 37 = 0.9 This value 0.9, is the value which you will enter into the software.
Example 2: Temperature on the thermometer is 36.2°C, temperature on display is 37°C.
The difference is 37 – 36.2 = –0.8. This value –0.8, this is the value which you will enter into the software.
Procedure for temperature calibration:
1. Hold (press) the encoder for 5 seconds – the display then show "Cor" (correction).
2. Press the encoder once and then enter the value from the previous section by rotating the encoder left
or right to select a value (see Example 1 and Example 2 above). Be sure to note whether your value
was positive or negative. After you have entered the value press the encoder again.
3. Press the START/STOP button to complete the temperature calibration.
NOTE: Temperature calibration should only be performed by qualified personnel.
10.0 Maintenance and Cleaning
The chamber should be cleaned regularly. Any samples which spill inside or outside the chamber must
be wiped up immediately. Use only warm water or a mild soap solution to clean the surfaces of the unit.
Using aggressive or abrasive cleaners can cause permanent damage to the finish.
To decontaminate the surface of the unit, use only neutral solutions (Ph 7-8). The stainless steel platform
and nuts can be decontaminated with autoclave (120°C).
NOTE: Take care when cleaning device after operation, especially when you have used device at
temperatures higher than 60°C. Exposed surfaces will be extremely hot and may cause burns to
unprotected skin.
Before you begin cleaning the unit, be sure to unplug the unit.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods other than those recommended by the
manufacturer, contact Corning to check that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
