SET-POINT CHANGE TEMPERATURE UNITS
To change the temperature set-point of your oven, use the
indicated arrow keys to increase or decrease temperature.
To change the oven’s operational unit to read either
degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit you will need to:
UNIT
SP
TEMPERATURE OFFSET / CALIBRATION
Your unit has been calibrated at our factory using a
NIST-certified temperature instrument.
Over time a temperature adjustment (offset) may be neces-
sary to maintain the unit’s controller temperature reading
consistent with the interior temperature. To maintain this
temperature accuracy, we recommend verifying twice a year
that there is a temperature consistency between the control-
ler and the chamber using a known accurate temperature
measuring device.
Place a trusted, preferably certified digital temperature
probe at the center of the unit’s chamber.
Record the temperature reading at the controller and at
the center of your unit’s chamber.
Access the OFFS parameter and input the tempera-
ture difference from your controller to your digital probe.

To navigate the controller's menu, please refer to the easy-to-use Menu Guide below: Menu setting changes can be done
quickly with our 4-button digital microprocessor. Your incubator's controller allows you to perform the following:

Select between degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade
Calibrate your unit to your independent temperature sensing device.

CONTROLLER ALARM
Controller Alarm- If the unit exceeds the high limit alarm value, the controller will
stop the heating process and display the ALM indicator on the controller until the unit is
manually reset.
To reset alarm condition- Power the unit OFF and allow it to cool down to room
temperature before powering ON. If the problem persist contact technical support.

AUTO-TUNING THE UNIT
FAST Tuning
PF
PF
Your unit’s controller has been tuned from our factory to
achieve set-point temperatures at a faster rate. However,
you can auto-tune your unit’s controller to work best with
your application and set-points. The two auto-tuning options
available are:

FULL Tuning
This option prioritizes speed over accuracy, allowing you to
reach set-point temperatures faster.
This tuning option gives priority to accuracy over speed.

Once the desired set-point temperature has been set,
you will need to input the factory set passcode to access
the tuning parameter.

CONTROLLER LOCK
Your unit’s controller allows you the option to “lock” the controller buttons to prevent any changes to the parameter values.
