Installation
During installation of built-in units, ensure that the
escaping air will be safely discharged out of the
installation space.
Ambient Conditions
Location Requirements
Built-in incubators can, heating and drying ovens must be operated with an air exhaust system
and exhaust hose (only original Thermo accessory should be used).
For safety reasons, the installation space should be made of non-combustible materials,
according to DIN 4102.
The incubator must only be operated in a location that meets all of the ambient condition
requirements listed below:
• Installation location indoors in dry areas free from drafts.
• The dust burden may not exceed the contamination category 2 based on EN 61010-1.
Using the incubator in an atmosphere with electrically conductive dust is prohibited.
• The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see Section
“Space Requirement” on page 3-3)
• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.
• Solid, level, fire-proof surface; no flammable materials opposite to the rear panel of the
incubator.
• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of
the incubator and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).
• The electrical circuitry of the incubator has been designed for an operating height of up to
2000 m above sea level.
• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing.
• Should condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before
connecting the incubator to a power source and powering up.
• The ambient temperature must be within a range of +18 °C to +32 °C (64.4 °F to 89.6 °F).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
Thermo Scientific Heratherm 3-1
Installation
Intermediate Storage
• Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the incubator.
• Place the incubator on a floor stand (option; to be ordered separately), never on the lab
• Power line voltage variations must not exceed ±10 % of the nominal voltage.
• Transient surges must lie within the range of levels that normally occur in the power
• Consider installing one dedicated upstream circuit breaker per incubator to avoid multiple
floor. This prevents the penetration of dust or dirt into the device.
supply system. The impulse withstand voltage based on surge category II of
IEC 60364-4-443 shall be applied at the nominal voltage level.
device failures in case of an electrical fault.
Contamination hazard
Do not place the incubator directly on the lab floor, but mount it
on the floor stand or on a lab work surface (option; to be ordered
separately). Contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi,
prions, and other biological substances may use the open door to
migrate easily from the floor into the incubator’s work space.
Intermediate Storage
When the incubator is placed in intermediate storage, which is permissible for a maximum of
four weeks, make sure that the ambient temperature is between 20 °C to 60 °C (68 °F to
140 °F) and the maximum relative humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.
Room Ventilation
Heat dissipating from the incubator during continuous operation may cause a change in the
room climate.
• Therefore, the incubator must only be installed in rooms with sufficient ventilation.
• Do not install the incubator in room recesses without ventilation.
• When several devices are to be placed in the same room, additional ventilation may have
to be provided as necessary.
• To avoid any impact of the heat dissipated by the incubator on the ambient climate the
room must be vented by means of a laboratory-grade ventilation system that complies
with applicable local and national health and safety regulations and has sufficient capacity.
• If excessive temperatures tend to occur in the operating room, be sure to provide a thermal
protection means that cuts out the power supply to mitigate the impact of
overtemperature scenarios.

Installing the Stacking Adapter
Installing the Stacking Adapter
Stack as follows when using a stacking adapter (numbers denote incubator volumes in liters):
• for 60 l or 100 l on 180 l use stacking adapter Heratherm 180L,
• for 60 l on 100 l use stacking adapter Heratherm100L.
To prevent the top device from slipping and dropping down, the following requirements must
be fulfilled before devices may be stacked:
• Only two units may be stacked together. When stacking devices with the same type of
enclosure, yet with a different footprint the device with the smaller footprint must be
placed on top of the one with the larger footprint at all times.
• The bottom device must be correctly levelled.
• Place the corresponding stacking adapter.
• The levelling feet on the top device must be screwed in all the way.
• The levelling feet of the top device must be aligned with and placed exactly on the stacking
pads of the stacking adapter.
• The anti-tilt anchor must be installed at the top device.

Installing the Anti-tilt Anchor
Table-top incubators
The anti-tilt anchor secures the top device in a stack to a solid part of a building. The anti-tilt
anchor is to be mounted on the side opposite of the door hinges.
Bend the fixing tabs of the anti-tilt anchor up on one side and down on the other by an angle
of approx. 90°.
Installation
Installing the Anti-tilt Anchor
1. Do not use this position if the door is hinged on this side. Right-hand hinges represent the
standard configuration.
2. Preferred position.
3. Alternative position. Do not use if the door is hinged on this side.
Remove the bracket screws. Use the preferred position, if possible.
Fix the anti-tilt anchor with the bracket side down to the unit.
Position the unit with the anti-tilt anchor to in an angle of approx. 90° +/- 20%.
Take care that the stacking feet of the unit are still in correct place on the lower unit or on the
stacking adapter.
Fix the anti-tilt anchor to a solid part of the building.
Floor stand incubators
Heratherm floor stand incubators must always be attached to the wall using
two (2) retaining brackets on the outer left and right side on the back of the
unit.

Installation
Unsafe part of the building!
Install the anti-tilt anchor to a solid part of the building, which is able for shoring
loads.
The installation has to be carried out by qualified personnel only.
The connection to the building must be carried out with appropriate screws and
dowels according to the consistence of the building part.
Risk of overheating with stacked devices
To avoid the risk of electrical components and the outer enclosure overheating
or temperature control failing due to insufficient ventilation, do not exceed the
specified stacking height!
Risk of tipping and dropping of stacked devices
You should be aware at all times that stacked devices do not form a stable unit,
even when the stacking pads and frames are correctly used. The top device may
tip over and drop down when being transported in a stack. To avoid injury to
persons and damage to equipment, do not attempt to move stacked devices as
a unit! Separate and move each device one by one, then restack them.
Installing the Anti-tilt Anchor
Remove the screws.
Attach the end of the retaining bracket that is facing downward to the unit.
Align the device at roughly 90°, +/-20° to the retaining bracket.
Affix the retaining bracket to the wall.
Additionally, the following caution notes must be heeded at all times:
