INTRODUCTION
The Labnet Incubators have been designed for general purpose incubations (<65ºC), as
well as those applications requiring higher temperatures (up to 65ºC).
Temperature within the incubator is controlled and regulated by a microprocessor.
Temperature is set and displayed digitally. An independent, user settable safety
thermostat protects samples and the incubator from overheating in the unlikely event of a
primary controller failure.
A fan, located in the chamber, assists in providing an exceptionally uniform environment.
The fan also speeds temperature recovery after the door of the incubator has been
opened. For applications where the flow of air in the chamber is undesirable, the fan may
be switched off.
The interiors of the 311D and 611D incubators are constructed of stainless steel. The
exteriors are made of cold rolled steel to resist corrosion and provide strength. The door of
the incubator consists of two parts. The inner door is glass to allow for viewing the
chamber contents without disrupting the temperature environment. The outer door is solid
and insulated. It is also heated to help in maintaining the chamber temperature. The
heated door prevents condensation from forming on the inner glass viewing door.
Your satisfaction and safety require a complete understanding of this unit. Read
this instruction manual thoroughly before attempting to operate the incubator. All
operators should be given adequate training before using this incubator. Note that
any alterations or modifications to the incubator may void the warranty.
