Refrigerated Incubator

Thermo Scientific

Section 1

Installation and Start-Up

The incubator is commonly referred to as the standard model 815. 

The Model 815 Refrigerated Incubator has been designed to provide the
ultimate in temperature control. The user is assured of dependable and
precise performance through the use of microprocessor technology in the
temperature control circuitry. This incubator is operable in the range of
-10° to 50°C. These  temperature ranges will meet a wide variety of
applications, such as BOD determination, general incubation, as well as
the preservation of critical materials.

Note

The above performance figures are based upon the following operating conditions:

-

Ambient temperature of 22°C, ±3°C

-

Line voltage 115V, ±5% (115V version) and 230V, ±5% (230V version)

-

The following test protocols have been used:

3 point measurement test: 1 thermocouple sensor in center of each shelf - 1 shelf top position, 1 shelf lowest
position, 1 shelf middle position
27 point measurement test: 9 x thermocouples on each shelf - 1 shelf top position, 1 shelf lowest position, 1
shelf middle position (based on DIN 12880)
1 point measurement test: 1 thermocouple at chamber center point (temporal temperature variation
characterized by the maximum temperature difference)
