INSTALLATION
A MBIENT C ONDITIONS
The SCO6AD is intended for use indoors at room temperatures between 15

C and 30

C (59

F and
86

F), at no greater than an ambient 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C / 77

F). Allow a minimum of
4 inches (10cm) between the incubator and walls or partitions, and 2 inches (5cm) of clearance
above the top of the incubator for unobstructed airflow.
Operating the unit outside these conditions may adversely affect the incubator temperature
performance, including its effective operating range, stability, and uniformity.
P OWER S OURCE
Always position the unit so that the end-user has access to the power cord and can quickly unplug
it from the wall in the event of an emergency.
When choosing a location for the incubator, check that the voltage and ampere requirements on the
incubator data plate match that of the wall power source. The source must be an earth grounded
outlet. Supplied voltage must not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating. Damage to
the incubator may result if supplied voltage varies more than 10%. Use a separate circuit to
prevent loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure.
The SCO6AD comes provided with a 125 volt 9ft 5 in (2.86m) NEMA 5-15P power cord.
The required fuse for the incubator is 12.5 Amps.
The incubator is intended for a 50/60 Hz application at 12 Amps.
Note: Electrical supply to the incubator must conform to all national and local electrical codes.

ACTORS
When selecting a location to install the incubator, consider all environmental conditions that can
affect unit temperature performance. For example:
 Proximity to ovens, autoclaves, and any device that produces significant radiant heat
 Heating and cooling ducts, or other sources of fast-moving air currents
 High-traffic areas
 Direct sunlight
