Connecting the RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 data communication interface supports the querying of status information and
temperature data from the refrigerated incubator by entering basic commands in a standard
terminal window provided by your computer’s operating system. The interconnection requires
a standard RS-232 cable with 9-pin connectors and a straight “1:1” pinout without any
crossed wires, which is not supplied with the refrigerated incubator.
Keep the power outlet accessible!
To allow a rapid disconnection of power in case of an emergency, make
sure that power outlets remain freely accessible at all times!
Condensation
When taking the refrigerated incubator into operation for the first time
allow some time before switching on for stabilization to avoid
condensation forming on live parts.
If a high-voltage test is to be performed on the unit, it must first be
heated for around 30 minutes at 50°C.
Connecting the incubator via RS232 to a computer should only be
carried out by skilled and authorized qualified personnel of
electrotechnology/signal engineering!
