Installation
Ambient Conditions
Location Requirements
The incubator must only be operated in a location that meets all of the ambient condition
requirements listed below:
 Installation location indoors in dry areas free from drafts.
 The dust burden may not exceed the contamination category 2 based on IEC61010-1. Using
the incubator in an atmosphere with electrically conductive dust is prohibited.
 The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see Section
“Incubator Dimensions and Clearances” on page 11)
 The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
 Solid, level, fire-proof surface; no flammable materials opposite to the rear panel of the
incubator.
 Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of the
incubator and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
 The electrical circuitry of the incubator has been designed for an operating height of up to
2000 m above sea level.
 Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
 Should condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before
connecting the incubator to a power source and powering up.
 The ambient temperature must be within a range of +18 °C to +32 °C (64.4 °F to 89.6 °F).
 Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
 Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the incubator.
 Place the incubator on a floor stand (option; to be ordered separately), never on the lab floor.
This prevents the penetration of dust or dirt into the device.
 Power line voltage variations must not exceed ±10 % of the nominal voltage.
 Transient surges must lie within the range of levels that normally occur in the power supply
system. The impulse withstand voltage based on surge category II of IEC 60364-4-443 shall
be applied at the nominal voltage level.
