Note: The above specification testing has been made in a 25 ºC environment
Working conditions

  1. Environment Temp.: 5~32℃ (if setting temp.≦10℃,environment≦28℃).
  2. Humidity:≦80%RH 3. Air Pressure: 80-106Kpa
  3. There must be no shaking of the incubator and no caustic air around the chamber.
  4. Should avoid light and cooling environment.
  5. Keep distance of dust, install horizontally and make sure there is distance between the equipment and wall.

Safety information

  1. After you receive the equipment, to avoid the damage of the compressor during a long transportation period, please keep the machine without moving during one day before using it. To make sure equipment safety, please install outer protection and also supply power as the equipment requires.
  2. Do not test the flammable, combustible, poisonous or corrosive material.
  3. The equipment should be installed horizontally.
  4. Only trained personnel can disassembly and repair the equipment.
  5. If you add one working equipment into the chamber, if the power is bigger than 2A, plug the power outside, do not use this equipment power.
  6. When the chamber temp.≧50 ℃, please do not set the low temp. settings to make sure the compressor can be used for a long time.
  7. Anyone who operates the equipment must first read this manual

Operation cautions

  1. There is a test hole at the top of the incubator. If you add another equipment inside the chamber, please do it through this hole.
  2. If there is no need for U.V. light, turn off the U.V. lamp to avoid influence on temperature.
  3. Before operating the cooling function, please dry the chamber for 1 hour under 50 ºC.
  4. The chamber has a vertical air system. Please do not fully fill the shelfs with materials, the test material must occupy less than 1/3 of the shelf.
  5. Once the test environment > 35℃ or Use Temp. > 50℃, do not set the low temp. setting.
  6. Please clean the chamber and surface of the machine with pure water. When the machine is not used, please plug off the electricity, and make sure the inside and outside is clean and dry.

Controller operation instruction

ⅰ. Controller Specification
Temp. setting range: 0.0 – 60.0 ℃
Timer setting range: 0 – 99minutes 59 seconds
Display error: < 0.5%
Sensor: PT100
ⅱ. Instruction of panel
ibx LBX INC R Refrigerated - Instruction of panel

ⅲ. Temperature time operation
Example:
Set temperature to 30 ºC, once reached, 5 hours later, stop the machine (T = 30 ºC. Timer = 5 h)

  1. Click the set button to enter into the setting temp. condition, set the temp. at 30℃ using up and down keys.

  2. Click the set button, to enter the timer set condition, change the hours from “0” to “5” using up and down keys, once you need to set the minutes, also follow the above step.
    When the timer is set to “0”, it is means there is no timing function, and the incubator runs continuously.
    When the timer is not set to “0”, when the inner chamber temp. reaches the set temp. the timer will initiate, when the time ends, the machine will stop. When it stops, the light will turn on, the buzzer will tweet 30 seconds, press the down keyboard for 4 seconds, the system will start working again, when the buzzer sounds, please click any keyboard to stop the sound.

  3. Illumination: click the illumination button and then it will turn on, click again and it will close.

ⅳ. Inner Chamber Specification setting
Press the set button for more than 3 seconds, the screen will show “LC”. Modify the number to “3” using up and down keys, click the set button again to access the parameters. By clicking the set button, you can change through the parameters in the next table and modify each specification, press the set button for 3 seconds to exit the settings, the specification will be saved automatically. If during 30 seconds, no button is pressed, it will exit settings automatically and will not keep the specification.

  1. **The internal parameters as follows:
Parameter Name Function (Range) Factory Specification
Lc Password :“Lc=3”can modify the specification
P– Proportional band : Time proportional adjust function: Down P, can heat
fast, UP P will reduce the over adjust (2.0~25.0) 15.0
AL– Over-Temp. Display error alarm:
Under “PV﹤SP+Al”, buzzer tweeting and make refrigeration (0.0~20.0) 3.0℃
CT– Compressor operate delay:
Compressor delay protect time, operate twice time﹥﹦cT minutes (0.~10.0Min) 3

Min
Up–| Heating refrigeration backlash: compressor in manual mode, when “PV﹥﹦SP+uP” and compressor delay time out, then compressor begin to work| (-50.0~50.0) 0.2
Dn–| Cooling refrigeration backlash: compressor in manual model, when “PV<﹦SP+dn”, the compressor shut down.| -51.0~uP-0.1) 0
T–| Control cycle| (1~60sec) 5
P–| Proportional band| (1.0~measure value) 35
I–| Integration time| (1~1000sec) 200
d–| Differential time| (1~1000sec) 200
Pb–| “0” adjust: Sensor zero display error adjusts.
Pb= actual temp.-display number| (-9.9~9.9) 0.0
Pk–| Full adjust: Sensor full error adjusts.
PK=1000*(actual temp.-display number)/meter test number| (-999~999) 0

Note: 1. To make sure the precise result, can modify the P ( range between 10.0~20.0), normally it does not need any change, please use the factory specification.
2. When display error, normally change the Pb, no need change the PK.

  1. Check ambient Temperature
    Press the set button for more than 3 seconds, it will show “LC”, change it to “18” using up and down keys. Click set button and screen will show the ambient temperature. Press set button 3 seconds to exit this screen, the specification will keep automatically. If during 30 seconds, no button is pressed, it will exit settings automatically and will not keep the specification.Parameter| Name| Function| (Range)factory value
