2.7.5 Pathogenic Organisms
The device is not approved for cultivation of pathogenic organisms
of risk categories 3 and 4. In the context of intended use, it is none-
theless possible for pathogenic organisms and viruses to be culti-
vated. Contact with pathogenic organisms bears a significant
health risk. Hence, users are responsible for ensuring adequate
protection.
2.8 Safety Features
The equipment comes with the following safety features:
Main switch with emergency switching off function
In addition to allowing you to switch the equipment on and off nor-
mally, the main switch also works as an emergency switch. If the
main switch is switched off, all circuits of the equipment are discon-
nected completely from the grid.
Two safety fuses (230 V version) or two thermal protection
switches (115 V version) protect the equipment from impermissibly
high power input. The equipment fuses are located right next to the
mains connection on the left-hand side of the casing. For descrip-
tions of which fuses to use for which equipment type, see chapter
12.2 "Specifications of the Basic Unit", page 129.
Overheating shut-down
The heating of the equipment is protected against overheating by a
temperature limiter. This triggers as soon as the temperature on
the heating element exceeds the maximum allowed value and im-
mediately turns off the heating.
The position of the door is monitored electronically. If the door is
opened, the shaker drive is stopped immediately. As soon as the
door is fully closed again, the shaker drive restarts automatically.
