CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW 

 

 

 

Power Switch 

The power switch controls all power to the unit and its systems. Power is 
supplied when the switch is illuminated and in the ( I ) ON position. 

 

 

Heating Activated 

The Heating indicator light illuminates when power is routed to the incubator 
heating element. During normal operations, the green light will flicker on and 
off almost continually. 

 

 

 

Incubator Temperature Display 

The temperature display shows the current incubator air temperature, 
accurate to 0.1°C. The Up and Down buttons are used to navigate to the 
temperature set point and calibration adjustment display modes. The display 
blinks continually while in its set point or calibration adjustment modes, 
preceded by an “SP” for Set Point or “C O” for calibration offset. 

 

 

 

 

Over Temperature Limit 

This graduated dial sets the heating cut off point for the OTL temperature limit system. The OTL 
system prevents unchecked heating of the chamber in the event of a failure of the main digital 
controller. For more details, please see the 

Over Temperature Limit System

 description in the 

Theory of Operations (page 23).
