Electrical Installation
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
Before connection please ensure that the line supply
corresponds to that shown on the rating plate.
Model Supply requirements Power
INC-200 220-240V, 50Hz 350W
INC-200D 220-240V, 50Hz 350W
All models are supplied with two mains leads
fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the
instrument. One has a U.K. 3 pin plug and the
other has a 2 pin “Schuko” plug for connection
to the mains. Choose the lead appropriate for
your electrical installation and discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. This involves cutting off the
moulded plug, preparing the cable and
connecting to the re-wireable plug in accordance
with its instructions.
THIS OPERATION SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
NOTE: Refer to the equipment’s rating plate to
ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for
the voltage and wattage stated.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as
follows:
BROWN - LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH
The instruments are fitted with an IEC socket at
the rear of the instrument for connection of the
mains lead. The appropriate mains lead should
be connected BEFORE connection to the mains
supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement, a cable
of 1mm2of harmonised code H05W-F connected
to an IEC320 plug should be used.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
Safety Advice Before Use
❖ The unit should be carried with both hands,
with fingers under each side of the frame.
❖ Never move or carry the unit while it is in use
or connected to the mains supply.
❖ Donotmixammableliquidsorusethe
equipment in hazardous atmospheres.
❖In case of mains interruption, a fault or
mechanical failure, the unit will continue to
operate on removal of fault.
❖Mechanical energy can lead to breakage of
glass vessels. Use with care.
❖Do not position the unit such that it is
 difculttodisconnectitfromthemainsby
removing the mains cable from the socket at
the back.
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING VESSELS
FROM THE INCUBATOR AS PARTS MAY BE HOT.

General Description
The INC-200 and INC-200D incubators are
constructed from clear acrylic material for total
visibility. The units are designed for easy access
with a hinged front door panel. Each side panel
has 2 x 10mm diameter plugged holes for the
introduction of either gases or cables. The
incubator does not have a base so that it can be
placed directly over complete instruments (an
optional base and shelving system are available
as accessories).
The interior temperature is controllable up to
60ºC; forced air circulation and electronic tem-
perature control ensure accurately maintained
conditions. Additionally there is a temperature
safety cut-out set at 72ºC.
The INC-200 has an analogue controller while
the INC-200D has a digital display system. In ad-
dition to the main temperature selector there is a
push switch temperature re-set which maintains
the incubator at 37ºC.
Controls
Refer to Figures 1 & 2 to identify the controls.
Mains On/Off: This is a rocker-type switch. Pressing
the top switches the power on and pressing the
bottom switches the power off. The switch is
illuminated when the unit is on.
Pre-set Temperature Switch: This is a rocker-type
switch. Pressing the top switches the incubator
to the pre-set temperature (37ºC). Pressing the
bottom switches the incubator to the variable
setting.
Load Indicator: An amber LED illuminates when
the heater is in operation. This light remains on
while the incubator is reaching the set
temperature and flashes when the set
temperature is reached.
Fault Indicator: This is a red warning light. When
lit it indicates a fault has occurred and the
temperature safety cut-off has been initiated (set
at 72ºC).
Set Switch: This is a plain colour rocker switch.
Pressing and holding the switch down displays
the set temperature.
Temperature Control: This knob is used to set the
temperature of the incubator in conjunction with
the press to set switch.
Digital L.C.D.: This is used to display both the
actual and set temperature of the incubator in
ºC. The range is ambient +5ºC - 60ºC with a
resolution of 0.1ºC (INC-200D only)

Assembly
Refer to Figure 1
1. Fasten the 4 hinge bars to panels using x2 M4
screws to each hinge component. Do not
tighten at this stage.
2. Attach the handle to front door using x5 M4 screws.
3. Screw the countersunk metal screw and washer
into the bottom of the front panel.
4. Connect the 2 door clips to the front of the side
panels with x2 M3 screws and x2 dome nuts for
each clip.
5. Fasten the tie bar with x2 M4 screws at each
end. The unit should now be free standing with
the tie bar supporting the 2 end units.
6. Insert the hinge bars connecting the front and
back panels.
7. Squeeze some silicon compound into the
grooves on the back and top panel so when
assembled a good seal is formed.
8. Insert two side panels into back panel. Then
place top panel into position.
9. Attach door panel to top panel via hinges.
10. Insert the 4 plugs into the holes on the side panels.
11. Finally, tighten up all the screws, but do not
overtighten. Allow the silicon sealant at least 12
hours to dry before use.

Operation
1. Position the apparatus on a firm level surface
away from any heat sensitive material and
switch the unit ON.
2. If an incubation temperature of 37ºC is
required, press the pre-set temperature
switch to the top.
3. If another incubation temperature is
required, press the pre-set temperature
switch to the bottom (variable) and set the
temperature as follows:
INC-200: Turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the desired setting. The load
indicator will remain lit until the desired
temperature setting is reached at which time
it will flash.
INC-200D: De-press and hold the press to set
switch and turn the temperature control
knob until the desired temperature appears
on the display. On releasing the switch, the
display will revert to the actual temperature
of the incubator. The load indicator will
remain lit until the desired temperature
setting is reached at which time it will flash.
