MENU - Used to access controller menus. SET - Used to display and change settings. INCREASE setting. DECREASE setting. Display and Indicators Controller Display: (Front Panel) Displays chamber and set point temperatures in C and prompts from menu. Controller Indicators: (Front Panel) Delay: Lit when delay start timer for compressor is timing. Will begin timing when power is first applied or when cooling compressor is turned off. Safety: Indicates that the chamber temperature is not within limits and the safety relay is opened. Cool: Lit when cooling compressor is on. Heat: Lit when controller demands heat. Alarm Indicators: (Front Panel LED and Beeper) Indicates that the chamber is 5 C or more above or below the setpoint temperature or that the power has failed. 9

Operation General Function Checks Perform this procedure if incubator is new or hasn't been operated for a long period of time. 1. Apply power by placing the Power ON/ OFF switch (Located inside chamber) to I (ON) position. The Controller, on front of door, will display L, then, 88.8 (to test display), then begins reading actual chamber temperature. Note: When power is first applied, if display indicates S instead of L, a switch setting on the controller must be changed. Refer to Replacing Temp Controller TC1. 2. After 3 seconds, the Safety LED on the controller should extinguish and the safety relay will close applying power to the heater, fan, compressor relay and convenience outlet. 3. Press and hold MENU key, after 3 sec. the display will indicate CAL. Release and press MENU again to display Pct, press SET, display should indicate 100. Press and release MENU again to indicate Pro, press SET, display should indicate 00, press and release MENU to return to normal control mode. Press SET to display control setpoint, display should read 25.0. If the control setpoint or any of the other parameters aren't set correctly, use the or keys while pressing SET to change the setting. 4. The DELAY LED will be lit for 7 minutes after power is first applied, the COOL LED will be out during this delay period. When the DELAY LED goes out, the COOL LED will light and the compressor relay will close starting the compressor. 5. Allow unit to stabilize for 1 hour at 25 C, to ensure that all systems are functioning. 10 Controller Operation Usually the only controller setting that is necessary to change is the chamber temperature control setpoint. Other parameters of the controller may be changed by accessing them through the menu key, covered later.

OPERATION Changing Chamber Temperature Control Setpoint 1. The chamber temperature is continuously displayed, unless a key is pressed. 2. To display the setpoint temperature, press the SET key. The setpoint temperature will remain on the display for 1 sec. after the SET key is released. 3. To change the setpoint temperature, press and hold SET while pressing the or keys (Note that when either or keys are first pressed, the display will begin to change slowly at first, then increase change rate after a few seconds.) 4. Select the desired chamber setpoint then release all keys. The controller display will revert back to actual chamber temperature after a few seconds. Allow up to an hour for unit to stabilize at the new setpoint temperature. After the incubator temperature has stabilized, place samples into incubator chamber. For best results, arrange samples evenly throughout the chamber. Liquid samples should be covered to prevent evaporation and eventual frost build up on evaporator coils, particularly when operating below ambient. The Large Capacity Refrigerated Incubator has an internal 2 amp. convenience outlet inside chamber to operate devices such as: shakers, rotators, photosynthesis lights, recording thermometers etc. 11

OPERATION Accessing Controller Menus The temperature controller has three menu selections that can be accessed by pressing and holding the MENU key for 3 seconds. To access menu parameter, press and hold the SET key. To change the parameter, use the or keys. CAL Menu- Calibration Menu is used to change the temperature offset value to correct for differences in chamber temperature and the displayed temperature. Range -5 to 5 C. See Calibration Procedure. Pct Menu- (Percent Cooling Menu) Used to select one of three cooling modes: 100% Mode- Compressor runs continuously which provides high precision control (+/-0.5 C stability) over entire temperature range. Requires manual defrosting. 50% Mode- Compressor runs approximately half the time, which conserves power and also prevents and eliminates frost buildup inside chamber. This method eliminates the need for manual defrosting but provides less temperature stability (+/- 1.5 C). 00% Mode- Compressor is completely off. This mode is ideal for incubating samples at temperatures 10 C or higher above ambient (35 C to 50 C). It provides the greatest power savings, yet still maintains the advertised stability. Pro Menu- Protection Menu - Used to select the Protection mode of operation that determines when the alarm is activated and if the control setpoint can be changed. Range 0.0 to 0.1. 0.0 Mode- Normal mode that allows the user to change setpoint. Safety activates if chamber temperature (Chamber) and setpoint temperature (Setpoint) are as follows: Chamber 15.0 C and chamber < (Setpoint -6) or Chamber 40.0 C and chamber > (Setpoint +6) While SAFETY is activated, the safety relay is opened interrupting power to the heater, fan, convenience outlet and compressor. When chamber temperature returns to acceptable limits, the SAFETY will automatically terminate 12

OPERATION and power is reapplied. In order to allow changing of setpoint and eliminate nuisance alarms, a SAFETY by-pass takes effect when the setpoint is changed or when power is first applied. The SAFETY by-pass works as follows: Present chamber temperature is stored as a nominal safety temperature (nominal). If Chamber < Setpoint then SAFETY = nominal -2. If Chamber > Setpoint then SAFETY = nominal +2. If chamber should go beyond SAFETY then the SAFETY will activate. This SAFETY by-pass is active until chamber reaches setpoint ±1 C. 0.1 Mode- Same as 0.0 Mode, except that the setpoint is locked and can't be changed. Alarm The alarm beeper and LED are activated any time the chamber temperature goes beyond 5 C above or below the set point except when power is first applied or if the set point is changed. When activated the alarm will beep and LED light every 3 sec. The alarm may be disabled with alarm on / off switch. The alarm will also activate if power should fail. The alarm board has relay contacts that can be wired to a remote dialer or alarm system. The contacts are C Common, NO Normally Open and NC Normally Closed, with.25 push-on terminals. The NC contact will remain open under normal operating conditions, but when the alarm is activated, the contacts will delay for 25 sec then close. Alarm Relay contacts are rated 0.5A @ 125VAC. Wire to alarm NC and C terminals as follows: 1. Disconnect incubator from power source. 2. Open front panel bezel by removing 4 screws (8 on Model 304R) in top and bottom of bezel, carefully hang bezel from brackets using wire ties or other temporary means. 3. Remove the plastic hole plug on the right side of the controller bezel to route cable. 4. Locate Alarm PC board and terminals, wire the alarm board C terminal to terminal 4 of the alarm on/off switch. Wiring the alarm through the switch will allow the remote alarm to be disabled when the alarm on/off switch is in the off position. 13

OPERATION 5. Connect push-on terminals from your alarm cable to alarm NC terminal and terminal 5 of alarm on/off switch. Safety Thermostat As an added safety feature, the incubator has a thermostat in the heater compartment that limits the upper chamber temperature to 65 C in the event that all other controls fail. 14

Maintenance Warning To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from power source before servicing. Before re-applying power, after maintenance is complete, check to ensure that safety ground is intact and making a good connection. Cleaning Warning! Do not attempt to clean the incubator while the unit is plugged into a power source. Immediately clean all spilled materials from the incubator and wipe dry. If necessary, moisten a cloth with soap and water and clean inside and out. Do not use any harsh chemical cleaners. Defrosting Periodic defrosting may be necessary depending on operating temperature, ambient humidity, moisture from samples and cooling mode. Time between defrosts may be from 30 days to years. Suggested Defrost Methods Method I: For control setpoint down to 10 C, this method is the least disruptive, if samples can withstand temperature stability of +/- 1.5 C for 24 hours. Samples may remain in chamber during this procedure. 1. (Refer to Accessing Controller Menus) Press and hold MENU key until CAL is displayed, then release and press MENU again until Pct is displayed. 2. Select 50 in the Pct menu then press MENU key twice to return control mode. 3. Allow incubator to remain in this mode for about 24 hours or until frost disappears. 4. Use the MENU key to re-establish the previous selection for Pct (i.e. 100). Method II: 1. Remove any samples that may be damaged by temperatures up to 35 C. 2. Refer to Accessing Menu section of manual and set Pct parameter to 00. 3. Place Setpoint to 35.0 C. 15

MAINTENANCE 4. Allow temperature to stabilize, for 1 hour. 5. After 1 hour, remove power from unit. Open door and wipe up any excess moisture on floor of chamber with paper towels or sponge. 6. Apply power and set desired operating parameters back into controller. After chamber temperature stabilizes, place samples previously removed back into unit. Calibration If it becomes necessary to calibrate temperature controller, perform the following: 1. Place an accurate temperature measuring device in the geometric center of the chamber. 2. Set the controller to the desired operating temperature in 100% cooling mode and allow 2 hours stabilization. 3. Note the chamber temperature on the controller display and the temperature at the geometric center. 4. Subtract the chamber display reading from the geometric center reading. 5. Enter into the Calibration Mode as described in Accessing Menu. 6. Press and hold SET key, using the or keys, set the calibration parameter to the value determined in step 4. 7. Allow unit to stabilize for 1 hour and check that controller value and geometric center value agree ±0.5 C. Repeat calibration if necessary. 16

Repair Alarm and Alarm Battery Test The alarm is battery backed so that if power is lost the alarm will beep and LED will light at 3 sec. Intervals. The alarm will also be triggered if the chamber temp deviates +/- 5 C from setpoint. When the Alarm Test Button, located on the front panel is pushed and held, the alarm is triggered and alarm power is switched to the battery. The alarm should begin within 10 sec as test button is held. Note that the Alarm On/ Off switch on the front panel must be On. If the alarm fails to activate, refer to Replacing Alarm Batteries.
