Top mounted light incubatorIt is a modern experimental equipment that integrates high-precision constant temperature control and adjustable lighting function, widely used in fields such as botany, biological genetic engineering, medicine, environmental science, and agricultural research. Adopting a top mounted LED cold light source system, precise environmental simulation is achieved through the fourth generation plant growth specific LED light source. This light source has the characteristics of energy conservation and environmental protection, low heat generation, and long service life (up to 50000 hours). Combined with high-density nano film lamp boards, it ensures uniform light and eliminates the light defects of weak middle and strong edges in traditional side light incubators. The equipment can set different temperatures and lighting levels in different time periods to accurately simulate different environmental and climatic conditions, providing reliable support for scientific research.
Top mounted light incubatorDetailed operation guide:
1、 Installation and preparation
Environmental Requirements
Store in a cool, dry, and well ventilated room, away from heat sources, sunlight, and strong electromagnetic interference sources.
Ensure that the distance between the equipment and the wall is ≥ 10cm, with a reserved space of ≥ 30cm at the top and a 5cm gap on the side for easy heat dissipation.
The ground should be stable and leveled with bottom adjustment screws to avoid a tilt angle greater than 45 ° and prevent inversion or severe vibration during handling.
Power supply and grounding
Use an AC 220V power supply and connect a reliably grounded three hole socket to prevent the risk of electrical leakage.
Check if the power supply voltage meets the equipment requirements to avoid voltage fluctuations affecting performance.
Cleaning and disinfection
Before use, wipe the inside and outside of the box with 75% alcohol or disinfect it with ultraviolet radiation to avoid contaminating the culture.
Regularly clean the dust on the condenser cooling network (recommended once every quarter) to ensure heat dissipation efficiency.
2、 Startup and parameter settings
Power on start
Connect the power supply, turn on the power switch, the power indicator light will turn on, and the display screen will show the current temperature.
If the device is equipped with a delay protection function, the compressor needs to wait for 1.5 minutes after shutdown before restarting.
Temperature setting
Intelligent type: Press the "SET" button to enter the temperature setting mode, adjust the target temperature (accuracy ± 0.1 ℃) with the "∨/∧" button, and confirm with the "SEL" button.
Old model: Rotate the potentiometer to set the temperature and observe the changes in the display screen values.
The temperature difference between the set temperature and the ambient temperature should not exceed 25 ℃ to avoid compressor overload.
Lighting setting
Intensity adjustment: Press the "LIGHT" button to enter the lighting settings, adjust the lighting intensity (such as 0-10000 lux) through the "∨/∧" button, or set the red/blue light band proportionally.
Timer control: Press and hold the "SET" button for 3 seconds to enter the timer setting. Set the duration of light (ON) and darkness (OFF) separately, simulating a day night cycle (such as 16 hours of light/8 hours of darkness).
Time calibration: Press and hold the "SET" button for 5 seconds to enter time calibration mode and adjust the clock to the current accurate time.
Humidity setting (if supported)
When connecting an external humidifier, use distilled water or purified water and connect the mist outlet pipe to the air inlet of the box.
Set the target humidity (such as 30% -95% RH) through the "% RH" button, and the device will automatically adjust humidification/dehumidification.
3、 Sample placement and operation monitoring
Sample placement
The culture should be evenly distributed, avoiding obstruction of air ducts or light sources, leaving gaps between shelves to ensure smooth air circulation.
Liquid cultivation requires sealed containers to prevent moisture evaporation from affecting humidity control.
Observation of operating status
Temperature status: The "OUT" light is on when heating, the "AL1/AL2" light is on when cooling, and the indicator light alternates off when stable.
Lighting status: The display screen shows the current lighting intensity (such as L0-L100), and the indicator lights correspond to different frequency bands for output.
Exception handling: If the heating and cooling indicator lights are on at the same time, it may indicate equipment failure and the machine needs to be stopped for inspection.
Data recording and export
Regularly record temperature, humidity, and lighting data, and some devices support USB export or remote monitoring functions.
4、 Shutdown and maintenance
Normal shutdown
Turn off the lighting, heating/cooling functions, disconnect the power switch, and unplug the power plug.
Clean the residue inside the box, wipe the inner container with a dry cloth, and keep it dry.
Long term disuse maintenance
Unplug the power cord, thoroughly clean and dry the box, cover it with a dust cover and store it in a dry place.
Regularly (quarterly) power on for 2-3 days to remove moisture from electrical components and extend their service life.
Component replacement and calibration
The lifespan of ultraviolet lamps or LED light sources is about 5000-10000 hours and needs to be replaced in a timely manner.
Calibrate the temperature and humidity sensor at least once a year and contact the manufacturer or professional personnel for operation.
