Figure 6. H201-T-UNIT-BL. Standard Connection
1.
Connect the Heating Box to the port labeled ‘Heating Box’ on the rear panel of the Temperature Control Unit
(see Figure 6).
2.
Plug the NTC Connector on the port labeled ‘Ambient Temperature’ located on the rear panel of the
Temperature Control Unit (see Figure 6). This temperature sensor must be placed in air close to the
illumination pillar in proximity to the microscope stage. This thermistor monitors the air temperature inside
the cage. The NTC thermistor can be also used to monitor the room temperature when working in Sample
Feedback Mode. In this case, you have to place it outside the cage.
3.
The Fine Gauge Thermocouple (green) plugs into the green port labeled ‘Reference Temperature’ located on
the rear panel of the Temperature Control Unit (see Figure 6
). When operating the device in ‘Sample
Feedback Mode’ place this thermocouple in a Reference Well filled with water. Make sure that the end of the
Fine Gauge Thermocouple is fully immersed.
Tip
►
The Fine Gauge
Thermocouple may be placed into a Reference Well if running the “Sample Feedback
Mode” (see
paragraph 8.2.1.1). The Fine Gauge Thermocouple may also be used to calibrate the Microscope
Incubator temperature if
running the “Cage Feedback Mode” (see paragraph
9.1). The Fine Gauge
Thermocouple may be left in air if the system is operated in ‘Cage feedback mode’ (
see paragraph 8.2.1.1)
4.
Install the microscope enclosure (purchased separately) following the instructions of its dedicated booklet
and reading the paragraph 10 for the positioning of some its components.
