Preface
The
H201-T-UNIT-BL
, together with the H201-ENCLOSURE, is designed to maintain all the thermal
conditions required around your microscope, thus enabling to carry out prolonged observations on biological
specimens. The system controls the temperature in the range of 25-45°C.
The system is composed of the enclosure surrounding the microscope, H201-ENCLOSURE, which design
depends on the user’s microscope, the Temperature
Control Unit, H201-T-UNIT-BL with the Heating Box, the HM-
VF composed by a humidity module and a water trap (purchased separately)

, a fine gauge thermocouple to
monitor the temperature of a blank sample or Reference Well located in close proximity to the experimental one,
a thermistor to monitor the cage temperature or the Room Temperature and the OKO-TOUCH touch screen control
panel (to be ordered separately).
H201-T-UNIT-BL is compatible with any Bold Line Gas Controller Temperature and Gas controllers are
stackable and connectable through a bus connector (see paragraph 7.1).
H201-T-UNIT-BL is operated via the OKO-TOUCH touch screen control panel (to be ordered separately).
OKO-TOUCH features on-board memory for data logging and mini-USB port for data download.
In addition data logging is possible via SMART-BOX, via DATA-LOG Okolab software and via following
third-party Imaging software: LASX 2.0, NIS-Elements, SlideBook, MetaMorph and MicroManager. Macro for ZEN
Black software is available upon request.
Okolab DATA LOG is an optional software allowing logging temperature data or modification of selected
parameters. DATA LOG can be installed on your PC; a mini USB connection to the Temperature Control Unit allows
data download.
Okolab Bold Line controllers are also capable to receive TTL input (requires to order separately TTL-
CABLE).
The H201-T-UNIT-BL can be equipped with the H201-T-FILTER-BOX (
optional
) that assembles with the
Heating Box to ensure a dust and bacteria free environment inside the enclosure. In this case, H201-T-FILTER-BOX
is assembled with the H201-FILTER KIT, a kit composed by a Prefilter and a HEPA filter (see Figure 20 in paragraph
8.2.1.3).
We recommend reading carefully this manual to familiarize yourself with the functions and the operation
of H201-T-UNIT-BL before use.

As Humidity Module you can purchase also HM-ACTIVE or HM-STANDALONE systems. In this case please refer to their own
manual for humidity-related instructions.
