In case of a temperature jump upwards or downwards, the
controller will alter the temperature of the incubator well beyond the
setpoint value to speed up heat transfer from the air to the liquid
and vice versa. Before the target value is reached in the liquid, the
temperature in the incubation chamber is automatically adjusted to
the setpoint value to avoid values beyond the setpoint.
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the sensor cable due to
abrasion by moving parts.
If the mobile temperature sensor is used on the
moving table, the sensor cable may be abraded
and damaged due to contact with moving parts.
Therefore:
– Ensure that the mobile temperature sensor does
not come into contact with moving parts.
Please note the following points:
If a mobile temperature sensor is installed, it must always be
immersed in liquid in the reference flask
or:
placed in its intended position underneath a culture bag.
When the mobile temperature sensor is inserted into its holder,
it measures the air temperature. This may cause cycling of the
temperature control system.
If the mobile temperature sensor is used to measure the
temperature of the liquid in a reference flask, this reference
flask must have the same size and must contain the same
volume as the culture flasks. The use of culture flasks with
different sizes is not possible because the heat transfer differs
depending on the volume. If culture flasks are used whose size
and volume differ significantly from those of the reference
flask, this may cause the temperature to be considerably
higher or lower than the setpoint value before the target
temperature is eventually reached in the liquid.
