Intended use

///

Use

The device is suitable for heating of non-explosive, non

-flammable or harmless substance and

objects� It is also suitable for drying e�g� glassware or warm storing

of liquids in container�

Due to the highly precise temperature control, the device is especially suitable for incubation of

cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C�

Note: The device must only be used for heating up non-explosive and non-flammable

substances and objects� Do not process substances or objects that might cause explosive vapour�

The device is not classiﬁed as a medical device as deﬁned by Medical Device Directive�

/// Range of use

Indoor environments similar to that a laboratory of research, teaching, trade or industry�

Useful information

/// Material

The inner chamber of the device is made of high quality stainless steel� The inner door is made

of tempered glass�

Note: Do not heat substances containing acids and halogenoids with this device!

/// Air ﬂow

In recirculation mode, the fan gently and evenly distributes the temperature in the incubator�

The supply air coming from outside is guided through the ventilation openings into the inner

chamber and preheated in the working chamber�

The supply and exhaust air volume (air exchange) is controlled by the air ﬂap at the rear of the

device�

/// Temperature monitoring

The device has a temperature limiter (TB) class 1 according DIN 12880� This means that in case

of a single failure the device is switched off at 150 °C� The temperature may be higher for a

short time in the area of the heater and on the walls� So beware of risk of ﬁre or explosion of

unsuitable load�

Note: Any component of the

heating

/ drying material must not be able to release toxic gases�

Individual load and ambient condition might inﬂuence the temperature behaviour of the

chamber� To compensate that inﬂuence there’s the option to neutralize by using the 3-point

calibration and offset function� This function allows the temperature to be calibrated and

adjusted at three different temperature values�

Use a calibrated reference measuring device in case of adjustment�

The operation can be done at a single, or up to three temperature levels:

Point 1: Temperature calibration and adjustment at low value of temperature�

Point 2: Temperature calibration and adjustment at medium value of temperature�

Point 3: Temperature calibration and adjustment at high value of temperature�

This menu shows how the values can be entered after the respective temperatures are

approached and with an external measuring device cross-checked (calibrated)�
