The unit temperature must be stable in order to perform an accurate calibration.
•
The incubator must run for at least 8 hours prior to conducting a calibration.
•
The temperature is considered stabilized when the incubator has operated with the door
closed at your calibration temperature for at least 1 hour with no fluctuations greater than the
specified stability of the unit (see page 56).

Once the incubator temperature has stabilized, compare the
reference device and incubator temperature display readings.
•
If the readings are the same, or the difference
between the two falls within the acceptable range of
your protocol, the display is accurately showing the
incubation chamber air temperature.
