2. Slightly raise the perforated shelf so that the pull-out stops [1] and [3] can slide over the
shelf support brackets.
3. Make sure that the shelves and both of their tilt protection devices are free to move over
the shelf support brackets.
Mains connection
The refrigerated incubator has a class I, protection-earthed enclosure. To minimize the risk of
electrical shock, use the AC power cord supplied to connect the refrigerated incubator to a
correctly installed and protection-earthed power supply source, with the following features in
place for each refrigerated incubator:
• T 16 A slow-blow fusing
• B 16 circuit breaker
• FI circuit breaker
• For 400L units only: Maximum permissible system impedance (according to EN/IEC
61000-3-11 clause 6.2.2) Zmax = 0,432 Ohm.
Connecting to the Power Supply Source
1. Before connecting the refrigerated incubator to the power source, check to see if the power
supply voltage corresponds with the specifications on the nameplate on the front of the
refrigerated incubator. If the voltage (V) and current (A) ratings given are not as required,
do not connect the refrigerated incubator to the power source!
2. Connect the IEC connector to the socket at the rear of the refrigerated incubator.
3. Route the power cord along a path that does not cross possible hot surfaces (e.g. exhaust
air piping, peltier elements at the equipment rear side) tables, passageways and aisles.
With stacked devices, keep the power cord away from hot spots on the other refrigerated
incubator in the stack.
4. Connect the protection-earthed plug of the power cord to a correctly protection-earthed
and earth leakage circuit breaker fused power socket.
5. Make sure the power cord is not subjected to tensile or compressive force.
Electric shock
Contact with live electrical components may cause a lethal electric
shock.
Before connecting the refrigerated incubator to the power supply,
check the power cord and the plug for damage. Do not use
damaged cables for connecting the refrigerated incubator to the
power supply!
