Instructions for use
Start-up
1.Place the Bionova
IC10/20FR Auto-reader Incubator
®
on a firm surface, free from vibrations, away from direct
sunlight, currents of hot or cold air, chemical and corrosive or
flammable substances. Do not place the Incubator in a way that
disconnection of the power supply's AC plug from mains could
be difficult. Leave a space of at least 10 cm from the Incubator
to the closest wall. Do not move the Incubator periodically or
during its use. Connect the Incubator to a secure and stable
electrical mains outlet socket.
Do not wet or heat the device. If liquid is spilled on the
Incubator, disconnect it and follow the instructions on
the Cleaning and maintenance section.
2.Power on your Bionova
IC10/20FR by connecting the power
®
supply's AC plug to mains and then connect the plug at the
other end of power supply to the rear of the Incubator. The last
incubation program used (time and temperature combination)
will be selected by default.
Before power on, verify that all incubation
positions are empty.
If the Printer's paper indicator light starts blinking
after powering on the Incubator, check that the
printer's door is tightly closed and that the printer
has paper, if not follow the instructions on the
Replacement of the paper roll section.
3.Set the incubator internal clock to correspond to your local time.
See configuration methods in the Time setting mode section.
All devices are manufactured with the
following settings:
- Time zone: UTC +0:00
- Printing language: English
If you want to change the time zone, or the printing language
refer to Modification of time zone, or Modification of printing
language on the Set-up mode section.
4.Check that the incubation temperature is correct. To change
it, press the button
for 3 seconds. Lights corresponding to
37 °C and 60 °C will start blinking, indicating that a temperature
program must be selected. For temperature selection, press the
button
to select 37 ºC or 60 ºC. After 4 seconds the
temperature modification will be accepted.
For 37 ºC, the IC10/20FR auto-reader will automatically select the 4 hrs.
final reading program in both sides of the incubation area (1-6 and 7-12).
For 60 ºC, Instant/Ultra (20 min.), 30 min., 1, 2 or 3 hrs. program
can be selected. It's possible to select different programs for
each half or the same for both, depending on the indicator´s final
reading characteristics.
Check that the time setting is appropriate for the SCBIs to be
incubated in each zone.
To change the time program, press the button
correspondent zone as many times as needed to choose
of the
