Page 35: Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION SRIPF fly incubators provide a variable temperature and illumination environment suitable for the cultivation and storage of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). Heating and Cooling The incubator employs a solid-state thermoelectric cooling-and-heating (TEC-H) device, which operates using the Peltier effect to supply heating or cooling as needed. The Peltier effect: An electrical current between two touching but dissimilar conductor plates produces a heat flow from one plate to the other. - Page 36 OPERATION Manual and Autocycle Users can manually switch between Day and the Nighttime Modes by pressing and holding the MODE button. SRIPF incubators come from the factory set to Daytime Mode. The incubator is also provided with a Day – Night Autocycle. When launched, the cycle automatically switches between the two modes twice per day until manually terminated.

Page 46: Loading Samples
OPERATION OADING AMPLES The manufacturer strongly recommends waiting at least 8 hours after putting the unit into operation before loading samples in the incubation chamber. This allows the unit to heat soak, protecting against temperature instability. Samples should be placed at least 1 inch (25 mm) away from the chamber walls. •... -
Page 47: Chamber Power Outlet
Each incubator comes with a 1-amp power outlet inside the chamber. Do not attach powered equipment that draws more than 1 amp. The SRI6PF and SRI20PF power outlet provides 100 – 120 volts. • The SRI6PF-2 and SRI20PF-2 power outlet provides 220 – 240 volts. -
Page 48: Condensation And The Dew Point
OPERATION ONDENSATION AND THE OINT Relative humidity inside the incubation chamber should never be allowed to exceed 80% at 25°C. Exceeding this threshold will likely result in condensation and leaks around the incubator and may cause corrosion damage if allowed to continue for any significant length of time. Condensation takes place whenever the humidity level in the incubation chamber reaches the dew point. -

Page 53: Calibrate The Temperature Display
MAINTENANCE ALIBRATE THE EMPERATURE DISPLAY Note: Performing a temperature display calibration requires a temperature reference device. Please see the Reference Sensor Device entry on page 11 for the device requirements. Temperature calibrations are performed to match the incubator temperature display to the actual air temperature inside the incubation chamber. - Page 54 MAINTENANCE 5. Autocycle Off The Autocycle must be turned off to conduct stable, accurate temperature • calibrations for the Day and Night Modes. 6. Set to Day Mode a. Place the incubator in Day Mode. This prepares the unit to calibrate the temperature display to the Day Mode temperature setpoint.
