CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW
4.1
Power Switch: The main power I/O (on/off) switch controls all power to the unit 
and must be in the I/ON position before any systems are operational. 
4.2
Main Temperature Control: Marked SET TEMP, the Main Temperature Control 
consists of the digital display and UP/DOWN arrow pads for inputting set point 
temperatures and calibration. 
4.3
Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Safety Thermostat: This thermostat, 
labeled SAFETY TEMP, is completely independent of the Main Temperature 
Controller. The OTP guards against any failure of the Main Temperature 
Controller that would allow the temperature to rise past the set point. If 
temperature rises to the Safety set point, the Safety takes control of the heating 
element and allows continued use of the incubator until the problem can be 
resolved or service can be arranged. The control is adjusted using a screwdriver 
or a small coin. If the alarm sounds, hit the MUTE button. 
4.4
Shaker Switch: Located directly under the SET RPM display and UP/DOWN 
buttons, this switch engages the oscillation mode of the incubator. To enable 
oscillation, this switch must be in the I/ON position. This switch does not have to 
be ON to adjust the oscillation set point. 
4.5
Shaker Controller: This control is labeled SET RPM and consists of the 
UP/DOWN arrow pads and a digital display that shows oscillations per minute. 
This control is adjustable from 30 to 400 RPM.
