1.4 Operation of the Keypad
The Steri-Cult incubator has four basic modes which allow
incubator setup: Run, Settings, Calibrate and System
Configuration.
Run is the default mode which the incubator will normally
be in during operation.
Settings is used to enter system setpoints for incubator
operation.
Calibrate is used to calibrate various system parameters.
Configuration allows for custom setup of various options.
The chart below shows the selections under each of the
Modes
. Base Unit Displays are in bold type and Option
Displays are in italics.
Right and Left Arrows: Steps the operator through the
parameters of Settings, Calibrate and Configuration
Modes. The right arrow goes to the next parameter, the
left arrow returns to the previous parameter.
Up Arrow: Increases or toggles the parameter value that
has been selected in the Settings, Calibrate, and
Configuration Modes.
Enter: Must press Enter key to save to memory all
changed values.
Down Arrow: Decreases or toggles the parameter values
that have been selected in the Settings, Calibrate and
Configuration Modes.
Silence Key: Press to silence the audible alarm. See
Section 5 for alarm ringback times.
1.5 Displays
Message Center: Displays the system status (Mode) at all
times. Displays CLASS 100, SYSTEM OK or RH
WAITS ON TEMP (see Setting the RH Setpoint for fur-
ther details) during normal operation. Alarm messages
display if the system detects an alarm condition. See
Section 5, Alarms. The display message CLASS 100 is
a timing mechanism indicating that, under normal oper-
ating conditions with the HEPA filter installed, the air
inside the chamber meets the Class 100 air cleanliness
standard for particulates of 0.5 micron size or larger per
cubic foot of air. (For further information on the Class
100 classification of air quality, see Appendix A.)
3 Upper Displays: The first upper display shows the tem-
perature. The second display shows the percentage of
CO
2
. The third display shows the humidity percentage.
1.6 Installing the Incubator
a. Choosing the Location
Single and stacked units must be installed against a
wall or similar structure.
1. Maintain a three-inch clearance behind the incubator for
electrical and gas hook-ups. In addition, a three-inch
ventilation space is needed on each side of the unit.
2. Locate the unit on a firm level surface capable of sup-
porting the unit’s weight (340 lbs.-Models 3307 & 3308,
410 lbs.-Models 3310 & 3311)
3. Locate the unit away from doors and windows and heat-
ing and air conditioning ducts.
4. Lift the unit only by the sides of the cabinet base. Do
not attempt to lift it by the front and back. This places
stress on the outer door hinges.
b. Stacking the Incubators
With incubators in a stacked configuration, do not
leave both exterior doors open at the same time.
If the units have been in operation, turn them
both off and disconnect the power before begin-
ning any service work.
