3.2  Operating Panel 

 

The operating panel has a 12" colour-touch screen with protection 

IP66. 
 
Up to six bioreactors (= culture vessels) can be individually or in 

parallel controlled by one operating panel.  
 
A detailed description of the touch screen software can be found in 

the separate manual. 

 

3.2.1  Monitor Keys 

Four monitor keys are situated on the upper left side of the touch 

screen operating panel.

Special details about the ON/OFF key 

The touch screen operating panel is switched on and off at the 

main switch on the basic unit. Therefore separate switching on at 

the ON/OFF key is not necessary. The symbol on the key is illumi-

nated when the operating panel is switched on.
