Safety Cut/ Overtemperature
If the bath is fitted with a manual reset button, be sure this is depressed before use. If the level is
too low or runs out the switch will pop out and turn the heaters off until the reset is depressed.
If the bath is fitted with an inbuilt over heat safety protection. It must be set to slightly above the
desired setpoint temperature and will prevent overheating. It will maintain the Alarm Set Value.
Change the AL4 value to slightly above the setpoint temperature as set out in the instruction page.
The Alarm will be activated if the incubator exceeds the AL4 value or if the sensor is broken or
damaged. Adjusting the Alarm Hysterisis value will cause the incubator to cool down by that value
before it begins heating again. For example if the Alarm Hysterisis is set to 100 the incubator must
cool down by 100°c below AL4 before it will begin to reheat. Where you require the incubator to
switch off completely should an alarm condition result then please contact the manufacturer to
purchase the OST100 manual overtemperature reset control system.
