Press the INC or DEC button to highlight and select the probe (Upper or Lower) for which
you want to change the setting. Press the DOWN button until the Temperature option is
highlighted. Next to Current temperature, the current chamber temperature as read by the
selected probe appears.
►
On all other i.Series models, which have one probe, Upper Temperature Probe is displayed
and the Temperature option is highlighted. Next to Current temperature, the current chamber
temperature as read by the probe appears.

Testing chamber temperature alarms
NOTE:
Regulations for your organization may recommend test methods different from
what appear here. Use the appropriate methods for your organization.
Your incubator has alarms that indicate if the chamber temperature becomes too high or too low. The
method to test these alarms varies by model.
For Horizon models, the temperature control probe is immersed in water. The temperature of the water
is monitored as the water is slowly heated or cooled. The temperature at which each alarm activates is
read from the temperature controller and compared to the appropriate setpoint that is programmed on the
temperature controller.
