Installation

Environmental conditions

The Fisherbrand 18L low temp incubator device must only be operated in a location that 
meets all of the specific ambient condition requirements listed below:

Location requirements

• Dry place of erection within a closed space which is free from droughts.

• Dust loading should be in keeping with the degree of contamination, which is Degree 2 

according to IEC EN 61010-1. Using the incubator in an atmosphere with electrically 
conductive dust is prohibited.

• The minimal distance to adjacent surfaces must be observed on all sides (see Section 3.3).

• The operating room must be equipped with appropriate ventilation.

• Solid, level, fire-proof surface.

• Vibration-proof substructure (floor stand, lab table) capable of bearing the dead weight of 

the device and its accessories (particularly if two devices are stacked).

• The electrical circuitry of the device has been designed for an operating height of up to 

2000 m above sea level. 

• The permissible ambient temperature is b18 °C and 32 °C (+64.4 °F and + 

89.6 °F) for an incubation temperature of between 17 °C and 40 °C (62.6 °F and 104 °F).

• Relative humidity up to 80% (maximum; preferably 60-70%), non condensing. 

• Dew is to be avoided, e.g. after changes of location or transportation. Should 

condensation exist, wait until the moisture has evaporated completely before connecting 
the device to a power source and powering up.

• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

• Devices that produce excessive amounts of heat must not be placed near the device.

• Storage temperature: When the device is placed in intermediate storage, make sure that 

the ambient temperature is between 20 °C and 60 °C (68 °F and 140 °F) and the 
maximum relative humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.
