11.5.

Each unit can be connected to the Ethernet network or directly to the computer with a LAN cable. Premium Control software 
enables to create programs and send them to the unit remotely, read data (saved data and event log), create graphs and make 
reports.  With  this  feature,  equipment  can  be  controlled  and  monitored  remotely.  It  is  also  possible  to  connect  several  units  
at the same time and control them from one computer.  

 

Temperature protection 

12.

Temperature  protection  is  included  as  standard.  If  damage  occurs  to  the  temperature  controller  or  the  user  changes  
the temperature settings outside the limit, temperature protection will activate. 
Protection class 3.1 is a standard. The figure below shows how this works. 
 
 

 

 

 
Protection  Class  3.1  according  to  DIN  12880  norm  is  called  a  protecting  sample  function.  The  user  can  set  the  temperature 
protection (upper limit) by himself and when the set temperature falls outside of this range, the power heater is switched off. 
When the temperature returns to within normal parameters, the equipment continues to work normally. 

 

 Remote control of the unit 

13.

 
Every Premium unit can be connected to the Ethernet network and controlled remotely using the Premium Control software. 
The features of the program have been described in a separate instruction manual.  

 

 Troubleshooting   

14.

Before you contact VWR Service Department 

(21.Technical service)

:

 

1. 

Make sure that the operation complies with the instruction manual of the CO

2

 incubator. 

2. 

Restart the incubator to make sure that the unit is not functioning properly. If it still does not work, disconnect the unit 

again from the mains and repeat the operation after one hour. 

 
Review the information in the table below to troubleshoot operating problems.
