The Power On/Off switch controls power to the incubator. To turn on the incubator, place the switch in the
On (I) position. Turn off the incubator by placing the switch in the Off (0) position. The Set Temperature
control and the Power On light illuminate when the incubator is on.

This green light is on when power is supplied to the incubator and the Power On/Off switch is in the On
(1) position; the light is off when the Power On/Off switch is in the Off (0) position.

The Set Temperature control is the incubator’s main control. It consists of a digital display and Up/Down
keys that can be used for inputting set point temperature and calibration.

You can set the over temperature thermostat using the Set Over Temp Limit control. This control is
equipped with a graduated dial (larger circles, larger value; smaller circles, smaller value). The dial
requires a flat-edged tool to adjust the setting to eliminate accidental changes. The Set Over Temp Limit
control is completely independent of the Set Temperature control and guards against a Set Temperature
control failure. A failure of the Set Temperature control can permit the temperature to rise past the set
point. If the temperature rises to the Set Over Temperature Limit set point, the Set Over Temperature
Limit thermostat takes control of the heating element and permits continued use of the incubator until the
problem can be resolved or service can be arranged.
Operating the incubator for an extended period using only the Set Over Temperature Limit affects
temperature accuracy.

This green light is on while the incubator heats up to the set point configured by the Set Temperature
control; the light blinks when the temperature reaches the set point.
