An earthquake or a shock may cause the unit fall over or move and personal injuries may result. We recommend exercising safety precautions including selecting an installation place where less people are passing by.

10. Installation of shelf boards or specimens

The product includes two shelf boards. One of them is fixed at the lowest stage in the bath. Do not remove this board except when you install an optional stirrer stand with slide rail. Set a shelf board at an appropriate position in the bath with included shelf cramps. The bottom and side surfaces in the bath will become hot. Avoid putting specimens directly on the bottom surface or allow them to touch with the side surface.

11. Handling of a power cord

Never use electrical power cords bundled. When these are used bundled, they might overheat causing a fire.

Do not convert, forcibly bend, twist or pull the power cord. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result.

Do not place the power cord under a desk or a chair, or sand between objects to avoid it from being damaged.

Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result. Do not place the power cord close to a stove or other heat generating device. Sheath of the

cord may burn and result in a fire or an electrical shock. If the power cord should be damaged (exposure of core wire or disconnection), immediately

turn the ELB off, pull out the power cord (plug) out of the power supply and ask your dealer to replace the cord. Operating the unit with a damaged power cord may cause a fire or an electrical shock.

Characteristics of the model IC101/IC101W

The internal wall heating system of this product can keep temperature in the bath at a certain level with higher precision and has advantages such as spe cimens are not likely to dry like the air jacket system when compared with a system that uses direct air blasting and circulation.

Since models IC101 and IC101W detect internal bath wall temperat ure with the control sensor and control and display that temperature with the temperature controller, these have a characteristic that displayed temperature remains relatively stable even when temperature in the internal bath changes tentatively during temperature rise or from open/close of the door.

Above all, a symptom that the temperature controller does not show any temperat ure changes even when the temperature inside the bath shall be low im mediately after opening or clo sing of the door i s one of the characteristics of this internal bath wall heating system.

Temperature recovery time after opening/closing of the door of models IC101 and IC101W

The temperature will recover in about three to four minutes de pending on the env ironmental tempe rature or amount of specimen.

（Testing condition：Door open time: 30 sec. Environmental temp.: 23℃）

Functions of the model IC101W

You can install a small stirrer or other devices in the bath of the model IC101. Th e power co rd of a small stirrer can be connected using the cable port and the service outlet (Max. capacity : 2A) on the rear of the unit.

In this case, care must be taken for possible heating at the small stirrer in the bath. Devices that generate heat will influence proper temperature control of the incubator and therefore may be inappropriate for continued operation for a long time.

Useful functions（calibration offset function）

Using the calibration offset function

The calibration offset function is a function that compensates differences that may be generated between the temperature in the bath and the set temperature. This function can make parallel compensation to the plus or minus side for the entire temperature range. You can set/release using the MAINTENANCE key. The offset is set at “0” at the time of shipping from the factory.
