2. Slightly raise the perforated shelf so that the pull-out stops [1] and [3] can slide over the
shelf support brackets.
3. Make sure that the shelves and both of their tilt protection devices are free to move over
the shelf support brackets.

Mains connection

The low temperature incubator has a class I, protection-earthed enclosure. To minimize the
risk of electrical shock, use the AC power cord supplied to connect the low temperature
incubator to a correctly installed and protection-earthed power supply source, with the
following features in place for each low temperature incubator:
• T 16 A slow-blow fusing
• B 16 circuit breaker
• FI circuit breaker
• For 381L units only: Maximum permissible system impedance (according to EN/IEC
61000-3-11 clause 6.2.2) Zmax = 0,432 Ohm.

Connecting to the Power Supply Source

1. Before connecting the low temperature incubator to the power source, check to see if the
power supply voltage corresponds with the specifications on the nameplate on the front of
the low temperature incubator. If the voltage (V) and current (A) ratings given are not as
required, do not connect the low temperature incubator to the power source!
2. Connect the IEC connector to the socket at the rear of the low temperature incubator.
3. Route the power cord along a path that does not cross possible hot surfaces (e.g. exhaust
air piping, Peltier elements at the equipment rear side) tables, passageways and aisles. 
With stacked devices, keep the power cord away from hot spots on the other refrigerated
incubator in the stack.
4. Connect the protection-earthed plug of the power cord to a correctly protection-earthed
and earth leakage circuit breaker fused power socket.
5. Make sure the power cord is not subjected to tensile or compressive force.

Contact with live electrical components may cause a lethal electric
shock.
Before connecting the low temperature incubator to the power
supply, check the power cord and the plug for damage. Do not use
damaged cables for connecting the low temperature incubator to
the power supply!
