Instruction Manual INCU-Line Cooled Incubator 5.15. Defrosting function The cooling system of the IL 500R cooled incubator is based on a monoblock, in which the evaporator is defrosted with warm gases. This prevents it from frosting. The defrosting parameters should be defined in the program as described below. Default settings - 2 minutes (120s) defrosting every 2 hours, causes a temporary increase in tem- perature in the chamber.
Instruction Manual INCU-Line Cooled Incubator Corrections 5.16. In this window (Figure 31) you can set temperature correction: • The temperature indicated on the display by adding the correction value. The set correction value is taken in the whole temperature range operation of the device. For example, if the average tempera- ture displayed by the device indicates 20,0°C and the average temperature measured by independ- ent, external sensor indicates 20,5°C, the correction should be set on +0,5°C.
