ibidi Heating System, Universal Fit
3. Insert the Heated Plate into the opening of the microscope stage.
4. Insert an empty, unsterile Slide/Dish into the Heating Insert and put the assembly in the open-
ing of the Heated Plate to close it during equilibration.
5. Place the Heated Lid onto the Heated Plate.
6. Plug the electrical cables of the Heated Lid (Channel 1) and Heated Plate (Channel 2) into the
connectors on the back of the Temperature Controller.
7. Let the system equilibrate for at least 30 minutes.
To setup communication with the IncuControl Software, the USB cable must be connected between
the Temperature Controller and the computer.
To adjust the sample temperature, use the temperature sensor in 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
5.2
Start the ibidi Heating System, Universal Fit
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 plate. 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.
