Labnet 211DS Digital Shaking Incubator Instruction Manual

Labnet 211DS Digital Shaking Incubator Instruction

introduction

The Labnet 211DS Digital Shaking Incubator has been designed for general purpose incubation (<65°C), as well as those applications requiring higher temperatures (up to 80°C).

The SmartCheck™ Temperature Control System provides temperature control within the incubator. The microprocessor maintains excellent temperature accuracy and stability. Desired temperature is set and displayed digitally on the large display. An independent, user settable safety thermostat protects samples and the incubator from overheating in the unlikely event of a primary controller failure.

A uniform temperature environment within the chamber is maintained by mechanical convection or fan-assisted heating. This type of heating also speeds temperature recovery after the door of the incubator is opened.

The interior of the Labnet 211DS Shaking Incubator is constructed of mirror finished stainless steel. The exterior is made of cold rolled steel to resist corrosion and provide strength. The insulated door incorporates a glass viewing area for observing samples without disrupting the temperature environment within the chamber.

Safety Information

The package should include:

• 211DS Digital Shaking Incubator
• 2 large shelves
• 1 small shelf
• 12 shelf clips
• 4 leveling feet
• Instruction manual
• Power cord (both EU and UK cords in 230V models)

Complete and return the warranty card to register your new Labnet 211DS Digital Shaking Incubator.

Installation

Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user.

Power Source
Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, phase and ampere requirements. If matched to your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Voltage should not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating. This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate circuit is recommended to preclude loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure.

Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions which might affect performance, such as heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts, and high-traffic areas. Allow a minimum of 5 cm between the unit and walls or partitions which might obstruct free air flow.

Lifting/Handling
This unit is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these
loads. Units should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such
as shelves and trays should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.

Leveling
The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are to be installed in the holes at the base of the unit. Turn them clockwise to raise the level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet in all the way to prevent damage.

Cleaning

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning or decontaminating the unit.

The unit was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove all interior parts, if assembled and clean the inside of the chamber thoroughly with a disinfectant that is appropriate to your application. Make sure to rinse the cleaned surface with a damp cloth, using water only, and dry the surface with a clean cloth. NOTE: Do not use chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives, as this will damage the stainless steel surfaces. A similar periodic cleaning is recommended.

Controls

1. Power switch: The main power (OFF/ON) switch controls all power to the unit. It must be in the ON position before any systems are operational.
2. Shaker speed knob: Allows for speed adjustments of the shaker. Speed range is 20 to 400 rpm.
3. Shaker power button: Controls the power to the shaker motor. It must be in the I/ON position before the shaker can operate.
4. SmartCheck™ Temperature Control System: Consists of the digital display and Up/Down arrow pads for inputting set point temperatures and calibration.
5. Heating Indicator: This pilot light is On when the Temperature Control System has activated the heating element to reach and maintain the set point.
6. Safety Light: This pilot light comes on when the Safety controller is activated. Under normal operating conditions this pilot light should never be On.
7. Safety: This control, on the rear of the unit, is equipped with an adjustment knob and a graduated dial marked “0 to 10”. Completely independent of the Temperature Control System, the Safety guards against any failure which would allow temperature to rise past the set point. If temperature rises to the safety set point, the Safety takes control of the heating element and allows continued use of the incubator until the problem can be resolved or service can be arranged.

Operation

CAUTION: Check the power supply voltage against the unit marking plate. They must match.

Plug the power cord into the grounded electrical outlet. Push the power switch to the ON position, and turn the Safety to its maximum position (10), clockwise.

SmartCheck Temperature Control System
Enter desired set point temperature. To enter set point mode on the controller, press either the Up or Down arrow pad one time. The digital display will start to blink, going from bright to dim. While blinking, the digital display is showing the set point. To change the set point, use the Up and Down arrow pads. If the arrow pads are not pressed for five (5) seconds, the display will stop blinking and will read the temperature of the unit. Allow the incubator at least 24 hours to stabilize.

Calibration
The unit was calibrated at the factory at 37°C, however it is recommended that the unit be recalibrated once it is in its working environment and has been stable at set point for several hours. Place a calibrated reference thermometer inside the chamber where it can be easily viewed. Make certain it is not touching any shelving or chamber walls. Allow the temperature to stabilize again until the temperature remains constant for 60 minutes. Compare the reading on the reference thermometer with the digital display. If there is a difference, put the display into calibration mode by pressing on both the Up and Down arrow pads at the same time and holding them in for about five (5) seconds or until the two outside decimal points start to flash. When the decimal points are flashing, the display can be calibrated to match the reference thermometer by pressing on the Up or Down arrow pads until the display reads the correct value. Allow the incubator temperature to stabilize, and repeat if needed.

Set Safety Controller
As mentioned above, the Safety should be initially set to its maximum position, to allow the unit to stabilize. Once the incubator is stable at the desired set point, turn the Safety counterclockwise until the Safety Light turns on. Then, turn the Safety clockwise just until the Safety Light turns off. This will set the Safety Controller at approximately 1°C above the SmartCheck Temperature Control System.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning or decontaminating the unit.

No routine maintenance is required for the electrical or mechanical components of the unit. The incubator exterior, interior, and shaking platform should be wiped down periodically with a soft damp cloth with mild soap.

NOTE: Do not use chlorine-based bleach or abrasives. Any spills in the incubator and/or on the shaking platforms should be cleaned up immediately

Troubleshooting and Service

Always make a visual inspection of the incubator and control panel when troubleshooting. Look for loose or disconnected wires that may be the source of trouble.
In the event the incubator does not operate properly, check the following before calling for service:

Is electrical power reaching the unit?

• Check if the unit is plugged into the power supply.
• Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Check if the Main Circuit Breaker has tripped.

Unit will not heat?

• Verify the Main Control is set at the desired set point.
• Verify the High Limit is set higher than the Main Control.

Unit will not maintain temperature?

• Verify the Main Control is set at the desired set point.
• Verify the High Limit is set higher than the Main Control.
• Check if the circulating fan is running.
• Check the ambient room temperature. Fluctuation in ambient room temperature will have an effect on stability of the incubators temperature.
