LED Lighting
The device can be equipped with a LED lighting option. This illumi-
nates the surface of the table at an adjustable light intensity. For ex-
ample, the LED lighting option can be used to cultivate phototrophic
cells.
4.7.1
Setup and Function
The LED lighting is affixed to the ceiling inside the chamber. The light
generated by the LED lighting is distributed evenly over the surface of
the table.
The LEDs are protected from being hit by a protective cover made of
acrylic glass. The acrylic protective cover has a large opening in the
middle to allow air circulation. The protective cover reduces the
height of the incubation chamber by approx. 30 mm.
To ensure better light distribution in the incubation chamber, the
glass part of the door is covered with darkening foil when using LED
lighting.
4.7.2
Operating the LED Lighting
The LED lighting unit is operated using the
Light
parameter. The bot-
tom of the alphanumeric display shows the value in
%
with the sym-
bol
Light
.
The light intensity can be regulated from 1 to 100°%.
For a detailed description of how to set and activate the parameters,
see chapter 7.4 "Adjusting, Activating and Deactivating Parameters",
page 90.
Restriction
The LED lighting radiates heat when in operation. Hence, the LED
lighting can only be operated together with a cooling unit (internal or
external cooling system). If the device is operated with internal cool-
ing, the temperature is regulated fully automatically. If the device is
connected to an external cooling system, you must ensure that the
cooling is fully functional when operating the LED lighting.
