°C
above ambient temperature to 60
°C (non-refrigerated units) or from 7
°C to 60
°C (refrigerated units).
Increasing or decreasing the setpoint is accomplished with the
or
key.
During operation, if the temperature of the chamber is more than 1.0

temperature setpoint, an alarm is triggered. This alarm consists of a flashing °C indicator and audible beep.
The alarm will automatically deactivate as the incubator shaker achieves the set temperature.
5.7
Temperature offset calibration
The temperature probe and the temperature controller are calibrated together at the factory. The
temperature probe measures the temperature of the air at the probe’s location, near the heat exchanger
return vent. The controller uses the probe input to adjust air temperature, up or down, to match the
temperature setpoint.
Depending on various conditions within the chamber (flask placement and size, heat produced by growing
organisms, heat losses due to liquid evaporation from flasks, etc.), the display temperature may differ from
temperatures within the flasks themselves.
