Bactron User Group > Incubator Temperature, Safety, and Callibration  »   How do I set the Incubator Controller?

Under certain circumstances, samples placed directly on the bottom shelf may become too hot and
dry out. Shelf spacers are provided to minimize this condition. Three spacers are provided for the
Bactron I and four are provided for the Bactron II.

The INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE controller regulates the incubator temperature by use of Up/Down buttons. 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. While blinking, the Digital Display
is showing the set point. To change the set point, use the Up and Down buttons. If
the buttons are not pressed for five (5) seconds, the display will stop blinking and will
read the temperature of the unit.

Note that the INCUBATOR SAFETY should be turned to its maximum position, (clockwise) until the unit has stabilized at desired set point temperature. Allow the incubator at least 24 hours to stabilize. Then recalibrate the digital display to your reference thermometer, follow the calibration
instructions given in Section 9. This incubator was calibrated at the factory at 37°C.
