3-2 Low Temp Incubator Thermo Scientific
Section 3
Operation and Calibration
Place a calibrated thermometer or the probe of one at the center of the
third shelf of the incubator. Select the SETPOINT desired. Allow the unit
to run for at least an hour after it reaches the setpoint, before calibration is
performed.
Note If possible, place the thermometer into a liquid for stability.

To perform calibration, press the SET TEMP/CAL twice. The green
calibration indicator should be lit. Then press either the UP or DOWN
arrow keys to make the display match the noted thermometer reading.
After the satisfied display is achieved, press the ENTER key. The display
will then return to showing the newly calibrated actual temperature.
To change the high temperature alarm/setpoint - After selecting a setpoint
temperature, the HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM SETPOINT
automatically defaults to 1° higher than the setpoint that was entered. This
1° default difference can be overridden if desired. The following paragraph
describes this.
Press the HIGH/LOW LIMIT key once. The green "High Temperature
Alarm/Set Point" indicator should be lit. Use the UP or DOWN arrow
keys to select your limit value. Then press the ENTER key. If the HIGH
LIMIT value you have selected is below the operating SETPOINT
TEMPERATURE, the incubators' alarm will activate
To change the Low temperature alarm/setpoint - After selecting a setpoint
temperature, the LOW TEMPERATURE SETPOINT automatically
defaults to 1° lower than the setpoint that was entered. This 1° default
difference can be overridden if desired. The following paragraph describes
this.
Press the High/Low Limit key twice. The green "Low Temperature
Alarm/Setpoint" indicator should be lit. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys
to select your limit value. Then press the ENTER key. If the LOW LIMIT
value you have selected is above the operating setpoint temperature, the
incubators' alarm will activate.
Note Software version 2.00 and later has a 30 minute delay for the low and
high alarm to avoid nuisance alarms caused by door openings.
