RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Your satisfaction and safety require a
complete understanding of this unit. Read the
instructions thoroughly and be sure operators
are given adequate training before attempting
to put the unit into service. This equipment
must be used only for its intended application;
any alterations or modifications will void your
warranty.
1.1 Inspection: The carrier, when
accepting shipment, also accepts responsibilityfor
safe delivery and is liable for loss or damage. On
delivery, you must inspect for visible exterior
damage, note and describe on the freight bill any
damage found, and enter your claim on the form
supplied by the carrier. Inspect for concealed loss
or damage on the unit itself, both interior and
exterior. If necessary, the carrier will arrange for
official inspection to substantiate your claim.
1.2 Return Shipment: Save the shipping
crate until you are sure all is well. If for any reason
you must return the unit, first contact your
customer representative for authorization. Supply
nameplate data, including model number and
serial number.
2.0 INSTALLATION:
2.1 Location: When selecting asitefor the
incubator, consider all conditions which may affect
performance, such as extreme heat from steam
radiators, stoves, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid
direct sun, fast-moving air currents,
heating/cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. To
ensure air circulation around the unit allow a
minimum of 2" between incubator rear and sides
and any walls, partitions or obstructions to free
airflow.
2.2 Leveling: The unit must sit level and
solidly. Turn the leveling feet counterclockwise to
raise level. If the unit must be moved, turn the
leveling screws in all the way to prevent bending
of the feet.
2.3 Power Source: See the incubator's
serial data plate for the voltage, cycle, phase and
wattage requirements. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT
VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE DATA
PLATE RATING. Electrical supply to the unit must
conform to all national and local electrical codes.
A separate circuit is recommended to avoid
overloading.
2.4 Cleaning: The incubator's interior was
cleaned at the factory, but it should be recleaned
now. Remove all interior parts, including shelves
and shelf clips.
3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION:
The refrigeration system, heater, and air
circulating fan are used in conjunction with the
temperature control circuit to achieve sensitive
temperature control. The thermostat sensor
located in the air stream senses any temperature
deviation from the control point, and heat is
provided to maintain desired temperature. The
circulating fan provides even air distribution
throughout the chamber and assures temperature
uniformity.
Regardless of temperature maintained, the
compressor operates continuously. This
constant operation alleviates component failures
associated with the cycle type operation.
(Compressor will be shut off by the Low Limit
Thermostat).
This unit should remain upright for 24
hours prior to turning on. This will allow the
oil to settle in the compressor.
4.0 EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS:
Switch "I/O" (On/Off) for operation of power
to incubator.
DEFROST SYSTEM: If temperature
instability or reduced air flow is noted, turn on
defrost switch for twenty-four hours. This will
energize the defrost circuit, which will thaw the ice
that is blocking air flow. It is advisable to perform
this procedureonceeverythirtydays. Thisswitch
is located at the rear of the shadowbox.
