Operating Instructions
Please note that this equipment is not intended for interconnection with any other devices. Use of this equipment
other than intended may create a safety hazard and/or malfunction.
Using the Hybridization Oven
1. Place the unit on a level working
surface and provide adequate room in
front of the door to open it easily.
2. Plug the female end of the power cord
into the unit.
3. To turn on the main power supply,
depress the Power switch toward “ON”
on the right side of the control panel.
4. To adjust the temperature setting to the
necessary degree, press either the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons below the temperature control display to
raise or lower the displayed degree (displayed in degrees Celsius). This setting is adjustable from
ambient 10°C to 99.9°C. See “Setting the Temperature Controls” for more detail.
5. To turn on the motor for the bottle holder, press the motor control power switch to the “ON” position.
6. To adjust the bottle carousel to the desired RPM, simply turn the motor control knob clockwise to
increase the RPM and counterclockwise to decrease the RPM.
Minimum RPM = OFF/10 Maximum RPM = 18
NOTE: The inside of the hybridizer should be cleaned with a damp cloth. The bottle carousel assembly can
be cleaned with soap and water.
Setting the Temperature Controls
Whenever power is applied to the controller, the software revision number is displayed for several seconds. While the
software revision number is being displayed, the intensity of the display digits alternates between full and half
brightness, and on some models the two outside decimals points blink on and off. After several seconds, the display
reverts to showing the controlled temperature. In this mode, a single decimal point is illuminated (at most) and the
display intensity is steady.
Altering the Setpoint
The current setpoint value can be altered using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons while the setpoint is being
displayed. To change the setpoint from normal mode, proceed as follows:
7. Momentarily press then release either the “UP” or the “DOWN” button. The LED display will flash to
indicate that the displayed value is the current setpoint.
8. Increase or decrease the setpoint value by pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons respectively. If
either button is held down for more than several seconds, the setpoint value will increase or
decrease continuously.
9. When the desired setpoint is reached, wait approximately five seconds without pressing either
button. The display will then revert to normal mode showing the actual temperature.
The new setpoint becomes effective and is stored in the non-volatile memory when the display reverts to the
normal mode.
