Overview

This document serves as an operation manual for the JEIO TECH Incubator, models IB-05G, IB-15G, and IB-25G, providing essential information for safe and correct usage, as well as maintenance procedures. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety precautions to prevent accidents, injuries, or mechanical troubles.

Safety Notice and Precautions

The manual outlines a clear hierarchy of warning marks:

  • DANGER: Indicates situations where improper handling may lead to serious damage or death.
  • WARNING: Denotes risks of serious damage due to improper handling.
  • CAUTION: Points to potential minor damage to the user or physical damage to the unit from improper handling.

Users are cautioned against using inflammable and combustible solvents in the chamber, as this product can cause significant accidents if misused. Operating at high temperatures without proper care may also lead to mechanical issues and quality deterioration. The manual stresses that while JEIO TECH thoroughly investigates potential dangers, it's impossible to cover every single risk. Therefore, users must pay close attention to the instructions to avoid mechanical trouble or accidents. A warning label is prominently placed on the front door of the product, and its contents should be fully understood during operation. Users are advised to request a new label if the existing one becomes unreadable.

Device Function and Usage Features

This incubator is a versatile instrument designed for various applications in biotechnology, pharmacy, medicine, chemistry, and biology. Its primary functions include:

  • Cultivation of thermophilic microorganisms, E. coli, and bacteria.
  • Tissue culture for plants and animals, activation of sperm and eggs, and sterility testing of culture media.
  • Constant temperature tests, such as plant storage and environmental variation studies.

A key feature of this incubator is the CLS (Custom Logical Safe)-Control system, a proprietary development by JEIO TECH. This system ensures user convenience and safety, especially in laboratory environments where inflammable reagents are common. The CLS-Control system, protected by patents (No. 0397583, 0328729), is designed to provide the highest level of safety. It manages temperature and heater output via the main CPU, which performs precise PID calculations. All safety controls are handled by a separate, dedicated functional Logic IC, designed to withstand electric and electronic shocks. In case of instability, the CLS-Control system immediately shuts down the two-phase power supply to all parts, alerting the user with audio and visual signals, and enters a safe mode until all unstable conditions are resolved. It also offers users the choice to resume operation or remain in standstill after a power failure. The safety device uses a very small amount of current (5V, 10mA) at contact points, enhancing durability.

Other notable features include:

  • Door-open protection: The heater and blower automatically stop when the door is opened, protecting the user from heat exposure.
  • Superior insulation: High-temperature insulation is integrated into the outer chamber and inside the door, complemented by a chamber silicone door, ensuring perfect insulation and minimal heat loss.
  • Triple observing window (optional): This feature enhances insulation while allowing observation of the chamber's contents.
  • Uniform temperature: The chamber is specially designed to maintain a uniform temperature distribution.
  • Safety circuit: Protects the instrument from overcharge and over-temperature conditions of the heater.

The inner door is made of reinforced glass, allowing users to observe the chamber's interior without exposing the environment to outer air, thus preventing contamination. The door handle operates with a clockwise rotation to close and an opposite rotation to open. Magnetic packing provides shock absorption and double air-tightness. The chamber itself is constructed from stainless steel and houses the blower, heater, temperature sensor, and temperature regulator.

The Temperature Controller incorporates a Microprocessor (CPU) with a Digital PID Auto-tuning function and temperature compensation for the Pt-100Ω sensor. It also features a high-class safety control system for heating volume. An Over Temp. Limit function cuts power to the temperature controller if the heater temperature exceeds the set point, triggering a blinking LED and an alarming beep. To resume operation, the knob should be set approximately 15% higher than the set temperature, and the Start/Stop switch pressed once.

The unit includes an Inner Door limit switch that, when activated by an open door, cuts off the two-phase current to the instrument, stopping the heater and blower for safety. A blinking Door LED indicates an open door, and an alarm sounds if the door remains open for more than one minute. The Run LED turns on when the door is closed and the Start/Stop button is pressed.

The control panel features several buttons and LEDs:

  • HEATER LED: Indicates when heating is "ON."
  • Auto Tune LED: Flickers during auto-tuning.
  • Wait On Timer LED: Blinks when the timer is active for operation start, off when waiting.
  • Wait Off Timer LED: Blinks when the timer is active for operation stop, off when waiting.
  • Door open LED: Illuminates when the door is open.
  • Over heating alarm LED: Blinks with an alarm if the heater temperature exceeds the set point.
  • Temp. button: For temperature setting.
  • Timer button: For timer setting.
  • Up/Down buttons: For increasing/decreasing set values.
  • Enter button: For saving varied set values.
  • Start/Stop button: Starts/stops the unit and resumes operation after unstable conditions are resolved.
  • Lock button: Locks controller buttons.
  • Auto Tune button: Initiates auto-tuning when pressed for 1 second.
  • RUN LED: Indicates Work/Stop state.
  • SV display: Shows set temperature or remaining time when the timer is active.
  • PV display: Shows present temperature.

The temperature setting process involves pressing the TEMP button, adjusting the blinking SV value with Up/Down buttons, and saving with the Enter button. The unit reverts to its previous state if no button is touched for 10 seconds. Additional functions, accessed by repeatedly pressing the TEMP button, include storing favorite temperature values (Sv1, Sv2, Sv3), varying the temperature unit (°C or °F), and compensating for temperature sensor errors.

The timer function allows setting "Wait On Timer" (unit starts after a programmed time, max 99hr 59min, min 1min) and "Wait Off Timer" (unit stops after a programmed time). These can be used in combination. The "Auto Run" function, accessed via the TIMER button, allows the unit to resume operation after a power failure if set to "yes."

Auto-tuning is performed to achieve precise and rapid temperature control, saving PID values automatically. The process involves setting the desired temperature, pressing the A/T button for 3 seconds, and then pressing the START/STOP button. The A/T LED blinks during auto-tuning, and the RUN LED turns on. The duration of auto-tuning varies with the environment.

The Key Lock function, activated by pressing the LOCK button for 3 seconds, prevents improper pressing of controller buttons during operation. It can be deactivated by pressing the LOCK button again for 3 seconds.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and proper functioning of the incubator. The manual outlines the following steps:

  1. Power Disconnection: Always turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before any maintenance.
  2. Liquid Removal: Remove any liquid present in the bath.
  3. Cleaning:
    • Wash with a soft cloth containing a neutral detergent.
    • Follow with a wash using a soft cloth containing distilled water.
    • Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
  4. Solvent Avoidance: Do not use organic solvents for cleaning.
  5. Special Cleaning: If cleaning methods other than those specified in the manual are required, contact JEIO TECH to avoid damaging the unit.
  6. Pollutant Handling: When harmful chemicals or gases are spread on the unit, wear safety gloves and a safety mask, then wipe off pollutants with a dried cloth.

The manual also provides guidance for dealing with abnormal conditions, including a malfunction checklist to help users troubleshoot common issues such as continuous buzzer sounds, no temperature control, lack of air circulation, abnormal sounds, and power failures.
