BENCHMARK H2265-HC, H2265-HC-E myTemp Digital Mini Incubators
Product Information
The attempt Digital Mini Incubators, Model H2265-HC & H2265-HC-E, are micro-
processor controlled instruments designed for accurate and uniform temperature
control. They utilize forced air convection and have a capacity of 65L. The
incubators are made of stainless steel and use R134A refrigerant. They weigh
53kg (117 lbs) and come with a 2-year warranty. The electrical specifications
are 120V or 230VAC, 50/60Hz, with a power consumption of 385W.
Product Specifications
- Capacity: 65L
- Dimensions (Internal): (WxDxH) 40 x 32.4 x 50.2cm (15.75 x 12.75 x 19.75)
- Dimensions (External): (WxDxH) 54 x 53.34 x 99.85cm (21.25 x 21 x 39.35)
- Refrigerant: R134A
- Chamber: Stainless Steel
- Weight: 53kg / 117lbs
- Warranty: 2 years
- Electrical: 120V or 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 385W
Structure
Product Set-Up: The incubator can be installed on the floor or on a
benchtop. Before installing, ensure that the surface is clean, level, and
capable of withstanding 55kg. Once in place, plug the electrical cord into a
properly grounded outlet of the correct voltage. Press the power button on the
right side of the instrument to turn it on.
Product Operation
To select the desired temperature, press the SET key. Use the Up, Down, and
Shift keys to set the temperature. Press the SET key again to select the time
value. When set to 0000, the time function is disabled, and the incubator will
run continuously. Press the SET key again to store the values and start the
incubation.
When the time is set to continuous, the display shows both the current chamber temperature and the set chamber temperature. When a specific time is programmed, the display shows both the chamber temperature and set temperature until the set temperature is reached. At that point, the set temperature display switches to the remaining run time. Press the SET key at any time to display the set temperature. Once the time has expired, an audible alarm will alert the user, and the right display will read “End.” To start a new cycle, press and hold the DECREASE key for three seconds. Note that the incubator will continue holding the set temperature even after the set time has expired. To adjust this behavior, enter the advanced settings mode or contact Benchmark Scientific for more information.
WARNING: When loading samples, avoid placing them directly in front of
fan vents to minimize airflow and maintain temperature performance. The
incubator is equipped with an internal light for viewing. Press the Light
button to activate it and press it again to turn it off. An internal outlet is
included, providing the same electrical voltage as the incubator’s plug.
Before plugging in an electrical the device, wipe down the outlet with a dry
towel if condensation is
present.
CAUTION: NEVER operate this instrument immediately following any time period where it has been turned on its side (or upside-down). If placed on its side (or upside-down), always allow the instrument to sit idle for 4 hours in the proper upright orientation before powering up Benchmark’s myTemp 65L Incubator is a micro-processor-controlled instrument utilizing forced air convection to provide accurate and uniform temperature control. With a 65L, stainless steel incubation chamber and removable shelves, the MyTemp incubators are useful for a wide variety of laboratory applications requiring temperatures between 0° and 60°C.

Structure
Product Set-Up The incubator can be installed on the floor or on a benchtop.
Before installing, always ensure that the surface is clean, level, and capable
of withstanding 55 kg. Once in place, plug the electrical cord into a properly
grounded outlet of the correct voltage. Once plugged in, press the power
button on the right side of the instrument.
Product Operation
To select the desired temperature, press the “SET” key, the temperature can now be set using the Up, Down, and Shift keys. Once the desired temperature value has been set, press the “SET” key again to select the time value. (When set to “0000” the time function is disabled and the incubator will run continuously.) Once the desired time value has been programmed, press the “SET” key again to store the values and begin the incubation. When the time has been set to continuous, the display shows both the current chamber temperature and the set chamber temperature.
When a time other than continuous has been programmed both the chamber
temperature and set temperature are shown on the display until it the set
temperature has been reached. At that time, the set temperature display then
switches to the remaining run time. (To display the set temperature, press the
“SET” key at any time.) Once the time has expired, an audible alarm alerts the
user and the right display reads “End”. To start a new cycle, press and hold
the “DECREASE” key for three seconds.
NOTE: The incubator is programmed to continue holding the set temperature
even after the set time has expired. This can be adjusted to end the
heating/cooling cycle once the set time has expired by entering the advanced
settings mode. For more information, please contact Benchmark Scientific:

WARNING: When loading samples, always avoid placing samples directly in front of fan vents. This will minimize airflow and diminish temperature performance. The incubator is equipped with an internal light to assist in viewing. To activate the internal light, press the “Light” button. To turn off the internal light, press the “Light” button again. An internal outlet is also included and provides the same electrical voltage as the outlet that the incubator has been plugged into. In the event of condensation, always wipe the outlet down with a dry towel prior to plugging in an electrical plug.
Care and Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required other than to keep the instrument clean. When cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the internal or external parts of the incubator. Avoid the use of solvents as they may attack the product housing. In addition, always ensure that the fan vents are clear of dirt or any other obstructions.
