INSTALLATION This incubator is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5C and 60C (41F and 140F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity at 25C (77F). Allow a minimum of 2 inches (5cm) between the rear and sides of the incubator and walls or partitions. Operating the unit outside of these conditions may adversely affect the temperature range and stability.
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) PLATFORM INSTALLATION The SSI2 and SSI2-2 come with a flat non-stick platform for low speed operation with common vessels, including trays and dishes. To install an optional platform the user must: Unscrew the four aluminum, platform thumb screws from the corners of the internal platform and remove the green rubber mat. Clean any dirt or debris from the metal base-platform and apply the desired optional platform so that the four corner holes are aligned.
OPERATION FEATURES Constant Monitoring System (CMS) ensures precise control over speed and temperature. Extremely compact. Acryl lid allows internal viewing without disturbance. Brushless DC motor and beltless drive system minimizes noise and vibration. Digital control panel displays temperature, speed, time. A circulation fan helps to ensure even air heating within the closed incubation space. Optional accessories available for most common laboratory vessels.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) SETTING THE MIXING SPEED To select a mixing speed, press and hold the RPM / TIME key for approximately 2 seconds until LED display shows the current set mixing speed in RPMs. Press the SET key located underneath the time/speed display. The set speed is displayed and will blink continuously. It can be adjusted by using the UP (▲) and DOWN (▼) keys. Once the desired speed in RPMs is displayed, press the SET key to confirm and save.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) High Speed Error This “rErrH” message denotes a high speed error. Typically, excessive speeds happens when most or all of the containers are removed from the shaker while it is in operation. Solution: If a container has been removed, replace the container or restart the machine. Electrical Error The “Error” message indicates an electrical error. This occurs if the unit has lost power during a run.
