  • Page 37: Operation

    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION SRIP incubators provide stable and uniform incubation environments suitable for biological oxygen demand studies, including at or below standard room temperature. 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 38 OPERATION Door Alarm The incubator is equipped with a magnetic induction door alarm, which activates when the door is open for 60 seconds. When the alarm is active, an audio alert will sound, and the temperature display will flash. Closing the door will temporarily turn off the alarm. The alarm may be turned off indefinitely using the Door Alarm Setting procedure on page 4545...

    1 amp. The SRI3P, SRI6P, and SRI20P power outlet provides 100 – 120 volts. • The SRI3P-2, SRI6P-2, and SRI20P-2 power outlet provides 220 – 240 volts. • Verify that any powered accessory equipment used inside the chamber can safely and effectively operate within your selected temperature range.
  • Page 43: Humidifying The Incubator

    OPERATION UMIDIFYING THE NCUBATOR Closed bottle BOD applications do not require humidification. Breathable Sample Containers: Placing a small number of open or breathable media containers in the incubator chamber may lead to excessive drying of sample media. Unusually dry environmental conditions may also contribute to sample drying.
  • Page 44: 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 45 OPERATION Note: Changing the Door Alarm setting accesses the Temperature Setpoint menu but does not adjust the temperature setpoint. LARM ETTING The incubator comes with a Door Alarm that sounds an audible alarm and causes the temperature display to blink on and off when the door has been open for longer than 60 seconds. The alarm comes from the factory set to On.

    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 50 MAINTENANCE 5. Allow the chamber air temperature to stabilize before calibrating. The incubator cannot be accurately calibrated before stability is achieved. • When first putting the incubator into operation in a new location, it must run heating or • chilling for at least 8-hours to stabilize. The temperature is considered stabilized when the incubator has operated at your •...
