Introduction
Fisher Isotemp 600 Series Standard incubators are available in three sizes:
Small, Medium and Large. All incubators provide PID microprocessor
control at operating temperatures ranging from 30 (86°F) to 75°C (167°F).
Note
Ambient temperature must be at least 5°C below operating
temperatures.

In these incubators, fresh air enters through an air intake on the bottom of
the incubator, then is heated in a plenum below the chamber, finally
flowing into the incubator chamber itself in uniform flow patterns.
Exhaust air is vented through a port at the top of the incubator.
Temperature readouts and control parameters are shown in red LED
ʼ
s.
Three additional LED
ʼ
s indicate when the heater power is being applied,
an error condition is encountered, or the temperature is being set.
The Small incubator accommodates a maximum of three shelves. The
Medium incubator holds six shelves, and the Large incubator holds 10
shelves.
Isotemp incubators incorporate a variety of safety features. A safety backup
is built into the controller software. If the primary heater control fails, the
backup will maintain control at 3°C above the set point. An alarm LED
then indicates that the backup controller is operating the incubator. A
circuit breaker protects the incubator from power surges.
