1.0 Safety and Precautions
The following symbols marked on the equipment mean:
Caution: Read these operating instructions fully before use and pay particular
attention to sections containing this symbol.
Attention: Suivre attentivement les instructions avant l’usage et prêtez une
attention particulière aux sections comportant ce symbole.
Caution: Surfaces can become hot during use.
Attention: Les surfaces peuvent devenir brûlantes pendent l’usage.
Always observe the following safety precautions:
•Use only as specified by the operating instructions. After transport or
storage in humid conditions, dry out the unit before connecting it to the
supply voltage. During the drying out period, the intrinsic protection may
be impaired.
•Connect only to a power supply with a voltage corresponding to that on
the serial number label.
•Connect only to a power supply that provides a safety ground terminal.
•Before moving, disconnect at the power supply socket. Do not remove the
plug from the rear of the unit.
•Do not check the temperature by touch, but instead use the temperature
display.
•To reduce the risk of eye injury during high temperature operation, use
safety goggles or eyeglasses.
•Do not touch surfaces that become hot during high temperature operation.
•Ensure that the operating temperature is less than the maximum operating
temperature of your sample material.
•Ensure that the power switch is easily accessible during use.
•If liquid is spilled inside the unit, disconnect it from the power supply and
have it checked by a competent technician.
•It is the user’s responsibility to carry out appropriate decontamination if
hazardous material is spilled on or inside the equipment.
•This product must be used with a UL Listed / CSA Certified power supply
cord rated for a minimum temperature of 90˚C.
•If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

2.0 Product Information
The Hardy IncuPRO Incubators are designed for laboratories and clinics that
require contemporary styling, accuracy, and economy in a basic incubator
package. The incubator uses a dial controlled thermostat and has the added
features of a digital temperature display and a double walled chamber door. The
incubator has a chamber volume of 0.8 cu. ft. (0.02 cu.m) and a chamber
temperature range of ambient +5˚C to 60˚C. The incubator has a chamber
uniformity of +/- 1˚C at 37˚C within the bounds of the shelf area.
3.0 Assembly
3.1 Unpacking
Remove packing materials carefully, and retain for future shipment or
storage of the unit. Inspect for damage. Report all shipping damage to
the carrier immediately. Shipping damage is covered by the carrier and
repair/replacement for shipping damages must be coordinated through the
carrier. Complete and return the Warranty Registration Card. Packs
should contain:
•133000H Incubator
•Power Line Cord
•Operating Instructions
•Two Shelves
•Eight Shelf Brackets
3.2 Installation
Place the Incubator on a flat and stable surface, preferably away from
drafts. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand
the radiated heat produced by typical laboratory incubators. Fit the power
line cord into the IEC power socket on the rear of the unit. Plug power
cord into a power supply that matches the voltage listed on the serial
number label on the rear of the unit.
Insert the wire rack shelves at the desired heights. Refer to the sketch
below for proper shelf bracket installation.

4.0 Operation
4.1 Controls and Indicator Lamps (see Figure below)
The power switch controls power to the unit.
The temperature display shows the chamber temperature in degrees
Celsius.
The heater lamp indicates when the heater is operating.
The temperature adjust knob is used to control the chamber temperature.

4.2 Setting the Temperature
Use the temperature adjust knob to set the desired temperature. The
knob is rotated clockwise to increase the chamber temperature and
counter-clockwise to decrease the chamber temperature.

4.3 Operating the Incubator
To turn the incubator on, switch the power switch to the on (I) position.
Set the desired chamber temperature. The heater lamp will illuminate and
remain lit until the chamber reaches the set temperature. After reaching
the set temperature, the heater lamp will cycle on and off with heater
operation. Allow a 60 minute chamber temperature equilibration when
starting the incubator from a cold start. Allow at least 15 minutes for the
re-equilibration when changing temperatures. To turn the incubator off,
switch the power switch to the off (O) position. If the temperature adjust
knob is not moved when the incubator is powered down, the incubator will
return to its previously set temperature upon restart.
