General Description
The SI60 and SI60D incubators are constructed
from clear acrylic material for total visibility. The
units are designed for easy access with a hinged
front door panel. Each side panel has 2 x 10mm
diameter plugged holes for the introduction of
either gases or cables. The incubator does not
have a base so that it can be placed directly over
complete instruments (an optional base and
shelving system are available as accessories).
The interior temperature is controllable up to
60ºC; forced air circulation and electronic tem-
perature control ensure accurately maintained
conditions. Additionally there is a temperature
safety cut-out set at 72ºC.
The SI60 has an analogue controller while the
SI60D has a digital display system. In addition to
the main temperature selector there is a push
switch temperature re-set which maintains the
incubator at 37ºC.
Controls
Refer to Figures 1 & 2 to identify the controls.
Mains On/Off:
This is a rocker-type switch.
Pressing the top switches the power on and
pressing the bottom switches the power off. The
switch is illuminated when the unit is on.
Pre-set Temperature Switch:
This is a
rocker-type switch. Pressing the top switches the
incubator to the pre-set temperature (37ºC).
Pressing the bottom switches the incubator to
the variable setting.
Load Indicator:
An amber LED illuminates when
the heater is in operation. This light remains on
while the incubator is reaching the set
temperature and flashes when the set
temperature is reached.
Fault Indicator:
This is a red warning light.
When lit it indicates a fault has occurred and the
temperature safety cut-off has been initiated (set
at 72ºC).
Set Switch:
This is a plain colour rocker switch.
Pressing and holding the switch down displays
the set temperature.
Temperature Control:
This knob is used to set
the temperature of the incubator in conjunction
with the press to set switch.
Digital L.C.D.:
This is used to display both the
actual and set temperature of the incubator in
ºC. The range is a5ºC - 60ºC with a
resolution of 0.1ºC (SI60D only)
