5. Connect the electrical cables of the Heated Lid (Channel 1), Heated Plate (Channel 2), and
Heated Glass Bottom (Channel 3) to the plugs on the back of the Temperature Controller.
To adjust the sample temperature, use the temperature sensor of the Temperature Adjustment Set
and plug it into the corresponding connector on the back of the Temperature Controller. The other
end is placed in the sample (Section
Optional: To setup communication with the IncuControl Software, the USB cable must be connected
between the Temperature Controller and the computer.

Start the ibidi Heating System, Multi-Well Plates, K-Frame
The Temperature Controller is switched on by the dip–switch on the back. Make sure the display
shows ”RUN” (see Section
). The system immediately starts heating up the heated components.
Warning!
Be aware that when the system is switched on, 10V DC voltage is applied to the underside of
the glass plates. Do not touch the underside or contact it with anything conductive! This could
cause a short circuit that may destroy the controller and/or the lid.
If you are not sure which temperature is set (e.g. when operating the system the first time), it is
recommended to disconnect all heated devices (Heated Plate, Heated Lid, and other optional heated
devices) and then switch the system on. By doing this, you ensure that you do not start the heat-
ing process with the wrong temperature settings. It is now possible to set the temperatures for the
individual channels (Section
). After this, you can re–connect the heated devices.
