During operation, timers show the
incubation time left for each plate. After
reaching zero the timers will count up. A
"+" shows the timer is counting up i.e. it
is the time elapsed since incubation was
completed.
When all plates have been removed, the timers will disappear and the current temperature will be shown instead.
Current temperature - this is visible near
the bottom of the display when incubation
is not occurring.
An arrow pointing up shows that
preheating is on and the temperature is
rising.
Incubation temperature - this is visible
at the bottom of the display. Select Incub
in Setup to enable the follow-up of the
current temperature during the incubation
cycle. It shows the temperature in the
incubation chambers to an accuracy of
one tenth of a degree whereas the other
temperature displays are rounded to the
nearest half a degree.
Controls
The controls are as follows:
Left and right arrow buttons - used in parameter setting to step backwards or forwards
through the parameters.
Selection dial - used to select alphanumeric characters and symbols during parameter
setting and to set times for incubating and shaking.
Preheat button - used to start preheating.
Red LED - this will come on when the preheat button has been pressed. It will remain on
until the target temperature is reached, then the LED will blink.
If the LED blinks it shows that the temperature has been reached but the preheat function is
still active to maintain the temperature. The LED will go off when the Start/Pause button is
pressed because the normal heating function will then be activated.
Note: The red LED will also come on if operation has been paused and there is at least
one plate still in the instrument. This shows that heating is still on even though operation is
paused. It will go off when all plates have been removed from the instrument.
