Operation
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the panel opening and rotate the over-
temperature thermostat stem completely clockwise. After making sure the
unit is plugged in, press the power switch to ON.
Warning
Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible
materials or explosive gases. Do not use in the presence of pressurized or
sealed containers. Fire or explosion may result, causing death or severe
injury.
s
Warning
Do not heat any substance above a temperature that will cause it
to emit toxic fumes. Death or severe injury may result.
s
After the unit has reached set point, rotate the over-temperature thermostat
stem counterclockwise until the overtemperature status lamp (4) is lit.
Then rotate it clockwise approximately 5° past the point at which the lamp
is no longer lit. At this point, the over-temperature thermostat will control
heaters only at temperatures above the controller set point.
1. CONTROLLER SELF-TEST: When the incubator is powered up, the
controller will display 8888 along with the three decimal points and
the heat ON indicator lamp. The display will then blank out for 2
seconds before showing the chamber temperature.
2. HEAT ON INDICATOR: The heat ON indicator lamp is lit when
the chamber heater is receiving power. The lamp will normally flash
when the chamber temperature is at set point.
