13.3 Temperature Calibration
CAUTION
Temperature calibration should not be confused with setting the incubation
temperature (section 6). The internal thermometer system is adjustable to allow its
reading to be precisely matched to a reference thermometer.
Do not attempt to calibrate temperature unless the accuracy is suspected to be
significantly compromised. Allow at least 24 hours for the equipment to fully warm
and stabilise before making an adjustment. Small fluctuations over time are a result of
drift in the electronic circuits and variations in room temperature. Do not be tempted
to adjust the calibration very frequently; it only serves to exaggerate fluctuations.
Please call our Brinsea technical support team on 01934 823039 for help and advice
required on this section.
Always use a high quality thermometer calibrated to a traceable standard. Allow
a minimum 30 minutes to stabilise after each adjustment.
A tube is located behind a rubber bung on the right hand side of the incubator cabinet.
This passes into the centre of the heater chamber adjacent to the temperature sensors.
A calibrated Brinsea Spot-Check thermometer is provided with a holder made to the
correct length for insertion into the tube. Any alternative thermometer used for this
purpose should be a similar length when inserted into the incubator.
Once the machine and thermometer have stabilised enter Engineering Mode as
explained in section 13.1. Scroll to the ‘system values’ section, and select. Then
scroll to CALIB TEMP and adjust by a minus figure if the display is reading high, or
a positive figure if the display is reading low. Note that the calibration figure is an
offset in degrees Celsius, it is not the actual temperature. Select “Save and Exit” and
allow 30 minutes to stabilise. Adjust further if required by small increments.
