11.0  Error Indicators & Troubleshooting 

Step 1   NOTE ALL ERROR INDICATORS.   

When the Incubator is running, the Alarm Status button indicates an error.  

 

Pressing the Alarm Status button, entering the correlating Alarms Menu and pressing the Silence button in the Alarms 

Menu will silence the audible alarm until Diagnostics is entered or another alarm becomes active. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2  CLEAR ERROR INDICATORS.   

 

Error indicators can be cleared by pressing the Alarm Status button and entering the Alarms Menu and pressing the 

Clear All button; if the error is still present the indicator will return when the alarm time reaches 0. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3  MONITOR REOCCURRENCE OF ERROR INDICATORS.  

 

If reoccurrence of the error indicator is immediate or daily, use the Error Indicator Troubleshooting Guide on the 

following pages to address the issue indicated by the reoccurring alarm.
