1 Section INTRODUCTION The Labnet Incubators have been designed for general purpose incubations (<65ºC), as well as those applications requiring higher temperatures (up to 65ºC). Temperature within the incubator is controlled and regulated by a microprocessor. Temperature is set and displayed digitally. An independent, user settable safety thermostat protects samples and the incubator from overheating in the unlikely event of a primary controller failure.
2 Section WARRANTY Labnet International, Inc. guarantees that the Model 311/611 Incubator that you have received meets its published specification. The incubator is guaranteed to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This guarantee is valid only if the unit has been used in accordance with the instructions in this manual and for its intended purpose. Labnet International, Inc.

4 Section RECEIVING AND INSPECTION 4.1 Inspection: The carrier, when accepting shipment, also accepts responsibility for safe delivery and is liable for loss or damage. On delivery, inspect for visible exterior damage, note and describe on the freight bill any damage found, and enter your claim on the form supplied by the carrier. 4.2 Inspect for concealed loss or damage on the unit itself, both interior and exterior. If any, the carrier will arrange for official inspection to substantiate your claim.
5 Section INSTALLATION Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user. Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5 and 40C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than 10%.
5.5 Cleaning: The unit chamber should be cleaned and disinfected before use. Remove all of the interior parts, and clean thoroughly with a disinfectant that is appropriate to your application. DO NOT use chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives as this will damage the chamber interior. Regular periodic cleaning is required.
6 Section CONTROLS OVERVIEW 6.1 Power Switch: The main power ON/OFF switch controls all power to the unit. It must be on before any systems are operational. The green switch will be lighted when ON. 6.2 Main Temperature Control: This control consists of the digital display and Up/Down buttons for inputting set point temperatures and calibration. 6.3 Safety Thermostat: The Safety is completely independent of the Main Controller.
7 Section OPERATION 7.1 Check power supply against unit serial plate. They must match. 7.2 Plug service cord into the electrical outlet. Push power switch ON, and turn the Safety Thermostat to its maximum position, clockwise. 7.3 Set Main Temperature Control: Enter desired set point temperature. To enter set point mode on the control, press either the Up or Down button one time. The digital display will start to blink, going from bright to dim.
stable temperature the fan may be turned off.
8 Section CLEANING AND ROUTINE CARE Both the interior and exterior of the incubator should be wiped down with a soft cloth periodically to prevent any build-up of dust and grime. Any spills in the incubator should be cleaned immediately. Cleaning may be performed with a soft, damp cloth. If required, the chamber may be disinfected.
9 Section SERVICE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING TEMPERATURE Temp-1 Temperature too highdisplay and reference thermometer don’t match 1/ Controller failed on – call Customer Service. 2/ Wiring error – call Customer Service. Temp-2 Display reads "HI" or "400"+ Temp-3 Chamber temperature spikes over set point and then settles to set point Temp-4 Temperature too lowdisplay and reference thermometer don’t match Probe is unplugged or broken – Call Customer Service Recalibrate – see section 7.
1/ Safety set too low – see section 7.5. 2/ Controller set too low – see section 7.3. 3/ Unit not recovered from door opening – wait for display to stop changing. 4/ Unit not recovered from power failure or being turned off – incubators will need 24 hours to warm up and stabilize. 5/ Element failure – Call Customer Service 6/ Controller failure – confirm with front panel lights that controller is calling for heat. 7/ Safety failure – confirm with front panel lights that Safety is operating correctly.
including motors, arcing relays or radio transmitters. 7/ Bad connection on temperature sensor or faulty sensor – check connectors for continuity and mechanical soundness while watching display for erratic behavior; check sensor and wiring for mechanical damage. 8/ Bad connections– check connectors for mechanical soundness and look for corrosion around terminals or signs of arcing or other visible deterioration. Temp-9 Will not maintain set point 1/ Assure that set point is at least 5 degrees over ambient.
1/ If shaft spins freely: check connections to motor and check voltage to motor. 2/ If shaft rubs or is frozen, relieve binding and retest. Mech-3 Motor makes noise 1/ If noise is from the motor, tap the top of motor shaft with ball peen hammer. Remove back panel to access fan motor. 2/ If the sound gets worse, tap the other end of the shaft – avoiding touching the fan blade. 3/ If there is no change, call Customer Service. 4/ If noise is from shaft or fan blade, realign shaft.
OTHER Other-1 Controller on at all times - "locked-up" 1/ Turn unit off and on to reset. 2/ If cannot change any condition on the front panel, call Customer Service. Other-2 Front panel displays are all off Check for wire damage. Other-3 Unit or wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown 1/ Check wall power source. 2/ Compare current draw and compare to specs on data plate. 3/ See what other loads are on the wall circuit. Other-4 Unit will not turn on 1/ Check wall power source.
