Energy Savings
In addition to a microprocessor-controlled
high efcient heater output and compressor ON/OFF, a renewal control program
and low heat-emission inner chamber fan
are newly adopted that allow high-energy
saving operation over a wider range of
ambient environments.
Foamed-in-place Rigid
Polyurethane Insulation
HCFC-free foamed-in-place polyurethane
is used for the chamber due to of its
high thermal retention and energy saving
properties.
Triple-pane Glass Observation
Window plus Programmable 15W
Fluorescent Lamp
A highly insulated triple-pane glass observation window and 15W uorescent lamp
are provided for sample observation during experimentation. When observation
is not required, an optional light shielding
plate (MIR-154/254) can be easily attached. The MIR-554 has an observation
door included.
Automatic Setting Temperature
Alarm
• When the chamber temperature deviates
more than ±1 to ±5°C (user selectable),
all digits of the digital indicator ash.
Fifteen minutes later a buzzer will sound.
This system also automatically allows
programmed operation or setting value
changes.
• Independent Over-temperature protection provides additional backup circuit
and sensor in the rare case of a temperature abnormality.
• Programmed memory backup allows
data to be stored for up to 5 hours after a
power source interruption.
• Auto-return mechanism returns temperature to normal indicator.
• Self-diagnosing troubleshooting monitor
and key lock are provided.
Independent Over-temperature
Protection Device
This incubator incorporates an excessive temperature prevention circuit that
protects experimentation materials in the
rare event that a temperature abnormality does occur. Isolated from the main
circuit, this exclusive circuit and sensor
operate even if the temperature sensor
or microprocessor malfunction, activating
an exclusive lamp and buzzer notification. This system turns off the heater and
chamber fan motor when over temperature is detected (setting temperature
range: 15°C~65°C), and turns off the
compressor when under temperature
is detected (setting temperature range
-15°C to 20°C). Remote alarm contacts
are provided for monitoring alarm from a
remote location.
Programmed Memory Back-up
Mechanism
Should the power source be interrupted
due to power failure or other event,
programmed data remains stored in
memory semi-permanently. When the
power source is restored, operation can
be continued according to the predetermined program.
Automatic Return Buzzer Switch
After an power failure occurs, the alarm
buzzer automatically switches to the ON
mode, even if the operator forgets to
return the alarm buzzer to the ON mode,
thus ensuring safe and secure operation.
Key Lock
A key lock switch is provided so that settings may not be changed.
Auto Return Mechanism
This mechanism automatically returns the
chamber temperature indicator to its normal indication when the control key is not
operated for approx. 90 seconds at each
setting mode. Thus, normal operation is
ensured even if the operator forgets an
operational procedure during setting.
Trouble Monitor (Self Diagnostic
Function)
Should a malfunction occur, the location
of the malfunction will be indicated on
the alpha-numeric display, allowing quick
operator response.

indicated via the LCD display. This incubator accommodates a range
of diversied experimentation requirements, and is ideal for experimenta-
tion during night time or holidays, experimentation that requires settings
to be changed, and microorganism culture and preservation. Constant
operation mode without step operation is also available.
Temperature (T1, T2, T3) and Time (H1, H2, H3) are set. Then, limited
repeating operations (from 1 to 99 times) or continuously repeated
operations are conducted. After a limited repeating operation has been
completed, constant operating temperature T0 is retained. Application:
Optimum for repeated experiments in which 3 different elemental
temperatures and times are combined.
Temperature of T1, T2, and T3, correspond to times H1, H2, and
H3, respectively. Then, constant operation temperature T0 is retained.
Application: Optimum for experiments that require consistent 4-step
temperature increases and decreases.
2 Step to Repeating Operation
2 Step to Constant Operation
1 Step to Constant Operation
MIR-154
Using a temperature T1 and T2, operation is repeatedly conducted using
time H1 and H2. Application: Optimum for day and night cycle operations of
plant material or quality testing for chemicals, foods and samples.
With a temperature of T1 and T2, operation is conducted using time
H1 and H2. Then, constant operating temperature T0 is retained.
With a temperature of T1, operation is conducted using time H1.
Then, constant operating temperature T0 is retained.
Application: Optimum for automation and labor savings while
performing bacteria inspection from culture to preservation, and
from preservation to culture.
High-precision Temperature
Environment
Panasonic refrigerated incubators incorporate a high precision microprocessor
temperature control combined with a
heater P.I.D. and compressor ON-OFF
system. This system has a feed forward
function that inputs the operating conditions of the compressor beforehand,
ensuring accurate temperature control
for the chamber. In a wide temperature
range from -10°C to 60°C, the heater
P.I.D. exhibits temperature uctuation up
to 0.2°C, and the Compressor ON-OFF
controls precisely ±1.5°C. In addition, the
uctuation of temperature uniformity in
the chamber is within ±0.5°C, allowing a
full range of precise experimentation from
microorganism cultures to various types
of incubation and testing.
