CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
Main Control Panel Continued
Power Switch
The main power switch on the control panel controls all power to the workstation and must be in the
on ( I ) position befor
e any of the BACTRON’s systems are
powered. The switch will illuminate
when on.
Chamber Gas Light
This light indicates that anaerobic mixed gas is being injected into the workspace chamber.
Main Temperature Control and Green Digital Display
Labeled INCUBATOR, this control consists of a green digital display and up and down arrow
buttons used to adjust the
incubator’s operating temperature
(set point). In its default mode the
display shows the current incubator temperature, accurate to within + 0.1
C. The arrow buttons can
also place the unit in its calibration mode. During temperature calibrations, the controls used to
enter temperature offsets to match the displayed temperature to the temperature detected by an
independent reference thermometer.
Heating Activated Light
The clear pilot light located beneath the label HEATING ACTIVATED illuminates whenever the
heating elements are powered and warming the incubator.
Set Over Temperature
This graduated dial sets the
incubator’s
temperature limit for the Over Temperature Limit backup
system. The OTL System operates independently of the Main Temperature Controller, and
prevents uncontrolled heating of the incubator in the event of a failure of the Main Controller while
in its heating mode. For more details, please see the explanation of the
’s Theory of Operation.
OTL Light
This pilot light is marked OVERTEMPERATURE ACTIVATED and is directly below the Over
Temperature Limit control. The light will turn on when the OTL System has taken control of the
incubator, and will be accompanied by a buzzer alarm. Under normal operating conditions this light
should not illuminate.
