INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the incubator. Weknow you have many choices in today’s competitive
marketplace when it comes toconstant temperature equipment. We appreciate you choosing ours. We
stand behind our products and will be here if you need us
READ THIS MANUAL
Failure to follow the guidelines and instructions in this user manual may create a protection impairment
by disabling orinterfering with the unitsafety features. This can result in injury or death.
Before using the unit, read the manual in its entirety to understand how to install, operate, and maintain
the unit in a safe manner. Ensure all operators are given appropriate training before the unit begins
service.
Keep this manual available for use by alloperators.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Follow basic safety precautions, including all national laws, regulations, and local ordinances in your area
regarding the use of this unit. Ifyou have any questions about local requirements, please contact the
appropriate agencies.
SOPs: Because of the range of potential applications this unitcan be used for, the operator ortheir
supervisors must draw up a site-specific standard operating procedure (SOP) covering eachapplication
and associated safety guidelines. This SOP must be written and available to alloperators in a language
they understand.
Intended Applications andLocations: The incubators are intended for constant temperature, non-
humidified microbiological incubation applications in professional, industrial, and educational
environments. The units arenotintended for use at hazardous or household locations.
Power: Your unitand its recommended accessories are designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements.
•The unit is designed to connect to a power source using the specific power cord type
shipped with the unit.
•Always plug the unit power cord into a protective earth grounded electrical outlet
conforming to national and local electrical codes. If the unit is not grounded properly, parts
such as knobs and controls can conduct electricity and cause serious injury.
•Do not bend the power cord excessively, step on it, or place heavy objects on it.
•A damaged cord can be a shock or fire hazard. Never use a power cord if it is damaged or
altered in any way.
•Use only approved accessories. Do not modify system components. Any alterations or
modifications to your unit not explicitly authorized by the manufacturer can be dangerous
and will void your warranty.

INTRODUCTION
REFERENCE SENSOR DEVICE
Must be purchased separately
Temperature Calibrations
If you are not using a third-party service, a reference sensor device is required for calibrating
your unit’s temperature display.
•See the Calibrating the Temperature Display procedure on page 49 for more information.
Device Accuracy
Reference devices must meet the following standards:
•Accurate to at least 0.1°C
The device should be regularly calibrated, preferably by a third party.
Temperature Probe
Use a digital device with a wire thermocouple probe that can be introduced into the unit chamber
through the access port or door space. Select a thermocouple suitable for the application temperature
you will be calibrating at.
Why a Probe?
Reference readings taken from outside the chamber using wire temperature probes avoid chamber
door openings. Openings disrupt the chamber temperature. Each disruption requires a minimum 1-hour
wait to allow the chamber to re-stabilize before continuing.
No Alcohol or Mercury Thermometers
Alcohol thermometers do not have sufficient accuracy to conduct accurate temperature calibrations.
Never place a mercury thermometer in the unit chamber. Always use thermocouple probes.
