For safety reasons, the incubator must be in opera-
tion (manual or pr
ogram mode) before the external
device is started. This way, the external device is
prevented from being switched on and energy (heat)
prevented from being generated within the utilized
space without the incubator being able to compen-
sate for this.
Please take these interrelationships into considera-
tion, even if you do not work with the switchboard
and connect an external device directly into the in-
house power grid.
If the control contact was activated in the device settings,
■ an additional symbol appears on the main screen in manual
mode, via which the contr
ol contact can be switched on or off at
any time
Further information on page 54
.
■ there is an additional function available, "Control contact On/Off",
in pr
ogram mode for creating programs in the editing view of the
program segments
‘Editing a program segment’ on page 71
.
■ it can be used in the start settings for an existing program
‘Control contact (option)’ on page 88
.
There is the option of running a program either with
the control contact activated or deactivated. For this,
the control contact must be activated in the device
settings. At the program start, there is then the
option of activating the control contact for the
respective program in the program start settings or
to leave it deactivated.
The control contact test function offers the option of briey switching
on the external socket strip, e.g. to make and test settings on the
external device.
This way, the short-term presetting of an external device, e.g. a light
cartridge, is possible.
To do this, activate
‘Control Contact Test’
. This way, the control con-
tact is activated for 10 minutes (voltage applied) and deactivated
again automatically after this time. The contact remains switched on
when the incubator is started in manual mode or program mode with
an activated control contact during this time.
Procedure:
1. Activate the setting "Control Contact Available".
2. Activate the setting "Control Contact Test".
Inside the incubator:
Y
ou put an electrical device inside the incubator. Please take the
additional energy released in the interior into account. This results in
the incubator requiring more energy to compensate for this addition-
ally brought-in heat energy. Only a cooled incubator can compensate
for this energy. As a result, depending on the amount of brought-in
