Section 3InstallationThis equipment must be used only for its intended application; anyalterations or modifications will void your warranty. Local city, county, orother ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have anyquestions about local requirements, contact the appropriate local agency.The end user may perform installation.Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at roomtemperatures between 5 and 30 , at no greater than 75% RelativeHumidity (at 25 C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by morethan 10%. Customer Service should be contacted for operating conditionsoutside of these limits.3.1 Power Source: Check the data plate for voltage and ampererequirements before making a connection. If the requirements matchyour power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROMTHE DATA PLATE RATING. These units are intended for a 50/60Hz application. We recommend a separate circuit to prevent loss ofproduct due to overloading or circuit failure.Note Electrical supply to the unit must conform to all national and localelectrical codes. s3.2 Location: When selecting a site for the incubator, consider allconditions that may affect performance, such as extreme heat fromradiators, stoves, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Position the unit so the enduser has access to the power plug. Avoid direct sun, fast moving aircurrents, heating and cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. To ensureair circulation around the unit, allow a minimum of 20 cm (8”)between incubator and any walls or partitions that may obstruct freeairflow and a minimum of 10 cm (4”) top clearance.3.3 Lifting and Handling: These units are heavy and care should be takento use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for theseloads. Units should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors,handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. Theunit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting ortransport. All moving parts, such as shelves and trays should beremoved and doors need to be positively locked in the closed positionduring transfer to prevent shifting and damage.Thermo ScientificModel 3900 Incubators3-1
Section 3Installation3.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Turn the leveling feetcounterclockwise to raise the level. If the unit must be moved, turn theleveling feet in all the way to prevent bending and damage.3.5 Install Air Ducts (LI6PT/LI6PT-2): Does not use Side Air Ducts.(LI20PT/LI20PT-2): Two (2) side air ducts are packed with theaccessories. Install air ducts from the corner top and bottom hooks intothe provided slots on the sides of the chamber.3.6 Install Shelf Mounts and Shelves: Install shelf mounts from the cornertop and bottom hooks into the shelf standard in the chamber. Hangwire shelves from the shelf mount bracket.3.7 Cleaning: The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory but notsterilized. See the CLEANING section for more information.Warning Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with theunit connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit fromthe electrical service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammablecleaners are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the powersupply. s3-2Model 3900 IncubatorsThermo Scientific
Section 4Controls Overview5.1 Power Switch: The main power I/O (on/off ) switch controls all powerto the unit and must be in the I/on position before any systems areoperational.5.2 Main Temperature Control: This control is marked SET. It has twodigital displays. Top Display reads PROCESS TEMPERATURE andbottom display reads SET POINT TEMPERATURE. The control is a40-Step Ramp and Soak Programmable Control with one (1) EventOutput.5.3 TEC Activated Light: This pilot light is ON when the peltier device isactively heating or cooling the chamber. Under normal operatingconditions, this light should be “on” all of the time.5.4 Over Temperature Limit Thermostat (OTL): This controller ismarked SET OVER TEMPERATURE and is equipped with anadjustment knob and a graduated dial. Completely independent of theMain Temperature Controller, the OTL guards against any failure ofthe Main Temperature Controller which would allow temperature torise to a level that would damage the incubator or the materialcontained within. If temperature rises to the OTL set point, the OTLtakes control of the peltier unit and prevents the temperature withinthe incubator from rising further until the problem can be resolved, orservice can be arranged. In the event the main controller fails and theunit is operating by means of the OTL safety, the temperature willbecome unstable. Therefore product should be transferred to anotherunit, the unit should be shut off and Technical Services contacted torepair the unit to avoid potential product and/or further equipmentdamage.5.5 OVER Temperature Activated Light: This pilot light comes on whenthe “SET OVER TEMPERATURE” Limit Thermostat has beenactivated. Under normal operating conditions this light should nevercome on.5.6 Fuse: Located on the back near the top inside of the cord inlet. Thefuse offers protection against over current conditions. If the fuse isblown, the unit will shut down and the cause should be determinedand corrected before replacing the fuse/fuses.5.7 RS485: Electrical connection for communicating with the Watlowcontroller. Additional software is required, like Watlow EZ ZoneConfigurator, Watlow SpecView, or National Instruments LabVIEW.Thermo ScientificModel 3900 Incubators4-1
