INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting this product from the large range of products manufactured in
Australia by Thermoline Scientific.

The materials incorporated in this design have been carefully selected for their
durability, technical performance, and practicability, the resultant product is one we
are proud of.

THE MANUAL

Please familiarise yourself with the information contained in this manual before using
the equipment.

Ensure that the manual is kept safe but accessible for current and future operators to
refer to.

UNPACKING

Remove the equipment from the packing material, check that it is complete.
Assemble the components and inspect for damage.

Retain the packaging materials until the equipment has been thoroughly tested.

Notify the detail of any damage without delay to your supplier, or Thermoline
Scientific.

LOCATION

Place the equipment in on a firm level surface. Confirm that the power supply is
suitable for this equipment, refer to the rating plate for details. To control temperature
effectively, the equipment should be located in a stable ambient.
When in position unscrew the two (2) adjustable feet (located at the front of the
cabinet) until they just lift the castors from the floor.

WARNING: Ensure that the electrical
outlet is earthed and is of the correct
voltage and is capable of carrying the
stated current load.

INTENDED USE

This equipment is used to provide a mild temperature controlled environment for use
in microbiology, immunology, culture departments, stability, storage of veterinary
samples, education and many more.

CAUTION: The range of equipment
described here are not to be used in
conjunction with large quantities of
water. The introduction of water and the
resultant vapour could result in
premature component failure.

WARNING: Do not use flammable
solvents or combustible materials as fire
or explosion may occur. This equipment
uses components which may be a
source of ignition.

FUNCTION

To provide an accurate controlled temperature between ambient +5°C to +60°C.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The range of large above ambient incubators are ideally suited to large scale
operations where volume throughput is desired.

The models feature heavy duty insulation and multi glazed door(s), these combine to
minimise heat loss, allow visual access to the product under evaluation whilst not
disturbing the operating conditions. The door(s) close on a magnetic gasket and are
further secured with positive action door latch(es).

The external is powder coated steel.

The desired operating temperature is set at the temperature controller. A signal from
the temperature sensor is monitored at the controller. The resultant calculated pulsed
output is directed to a solid state relay which switches power to a solid state relay
and to the ceiling mounted element(s).
The circulating fans gently move the air across the element(s) exiting at the rear
perforated panel, throughout the chamber before rising to the fan inlets at the ceiling.

To minimise loss of conditions, the circulating fans will be isolated when the door(s)
are open and restart upon closure.

PERFORMANCE

The operating range for this equipment is ambient +5°C to 60°C with a control
accuracy of 0.2°C.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE

For this product is 60°C.

C-TICK

The equipment referred to here complies with requirement of AS/NZS 1044:1995
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
