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

Set the control to the desires incubator temperature.

Then set the INCUBATOR SAFETY to its maximum position. Allow 24 hours for
stabilization before proceeding. If, after 24 hours the temperature is not at desired level, adjust the INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE up or down until the precise desired temperature is achieved.  When stabilization at the desired temperature has been achieved, turn the INCUBATOR SAFETY control knob counter-clockwise until the INCUBATOR SAFETY ACTIVATED light comes on and audible alarm is activated.

Next, carefully turn the INCUBATOR SAFETY knob clockwise until the light is just off. The Safety is
now set; the INCUBATOR SAFETY ACTIVATED light should remain OFF during normal operation.

NOTE: An accurate thermometer should be used inside the incubator as a reference when setting and calibrating the incubator temperature.

It is a good idea to mark the INCUBATOR SAFETY label with the desired setting or
position as a backup in case the knob is moved accidentally. If the SAFETY
ACTIVATED light is on and audio alarm is activated at any time, check the
INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE controller setting to be sure that it is not set above
the INCUBATOR SAFETY setting.
