4. Precaution for ground connection
----------------------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------------------
■ Please ground before use the product, if you don't ground, you can be electrically shocked
when malfunction or an electric leakage occurs

* Please buy the equipment to prevent elect leakage.
* An electric shock, an electric leakage and a fire can be occurred without an electric leakage
breaker.
.
Do not ground to these places; Gas Pipe, water pipe, pipe, lighting rod, telephone wire, etc.
* Wrong ground connection can occur an electric shock, an electric leakage and a fire.
If you don't have the outlet for AC 220V, then bury it under the ground after connecting the
ground line to copper plate.
* No ground connection can occur an electric shock, an electric leakage and a Fire.

* Artificial intelligence system (NB-TAC SYS)
Temperature uniformity is maintained precisely even in the natural convection by
intelligent equipment (NB-TAC SYS)
* Microprocessor controller
Temperature accuracy and reproducibility are excellent by using Microprocessor
Controller.
* Safety Switch is equipped to prevent overshooting.
* Inner glass door allows you not to open door for your observation inside.
* Peltier (NB201C only)

2. Safety Thermostat
This is the safety device which prevents overheating caused by
the product's malfunction.
Please set the temperature at least 5 ~ 10℃higher than set
temperature.
■ Using at a high temperature: Set SAFETY dial at higher than the set temperature.
■e.g.) If you use the setting temperature 37℃, set SAFETY S/W more than about 42℃. You can
identify its activation point by lighting of pilot lamp. At set point, turn the safety dial and recognize
its deviation. Considering the deviation, set the safety 5℃higher than set point.
■It is set at 42℃when the product is released from the factory, but it may be changed during
transportation of the product, so please check it.
■SAFETY S/W is the safety device that prevents over-heating caused by malfunction of temperature
control.
When the SAFETY S/W is activated with visual alarm on pilot lamp(marked with safety),
safe thermostat cut the heater automatically to prevent overheating.
If temperature is not able to reach to set value, please check the safety dial is properly set.
(at least 5℃higher than set value).
