Introduction to Temperature and Humidity Settings for Mold Incubators

Mold incubator is a type of incubator mainly used for cultivating organisms and plantsSet corresponding temperature and humidity in a closed space to allow mold to grow in about 4-6 hours, as an artificial way to accelerate the growth of mold, and assess the anti mold ability and degree of mold growth of electrical and electronic products. It is an important detection method in artificial climate protection, and is used for storing bacterial strains, biological cultivation, and essential testing equipment in research laboratories in colleges, medicine, electronics, chemical engineering, and biological research departments. Used to test and evaluate its parameters and performance after changes in humid and hot temperature environments.

How should the temperature and humidity of the mold incubator be set

（1） The temperature/time key can switch between temperature and time:

1) Temperature setting: Press the temperature/time button once, and the temperature setting indicator light on the instrument panel will turn on. Press the setting key to enter the SV state, then press the ∨ or ∧ key to change the temperature setting value to the desired temperature (the smallest value is 0 ℃), and then press the setting key to store the setting value in the microcontroller. At this time, the left display window shows the measured temperature, and the right display window shows the set temperature.

2) Time setting: Press the temperature/time button once, and the time setting indicator light on the instrument panel will turn on. Press the setting key to enter the TV mode, then press the ∨ or ∧ key to change the time setting value until the desired time (the smallest value is 1h), and then press the setting key to store the setting value in the microcontroller. At this time, the left display window displays the measurement time, and the right display window displays the set time.

timer functionWhen the instrument is powered on, the timing function starts to activate. After the timer ends, the output is turned off. The heater and refrigeration compressor will stop working, and the temperature inside the incubator will gradually reach the external ambient temperature.

3) Status indication: After the setting is completed, the device runs according to the set parameters. When the measured temperature is lower than the set temperature, the device enters the heating state and the heating indicator light is on. On the contrary, when the measured temperature is higher than the set temperature, the cooling indicator light will turn on and the equipment will enter the cooling state. When the measured temperature is 4 ℃ higher than the set temperature, the alarm indicator light will light up and the buzzer will also sound.

4) Parameter modification: To modify temperature and time parameters during operation, follow programs 1 and 2 for modification.

5) Quick setting: When setting parameters, one of the three numbers flashes. If you press the ∧ key, the last digit of the set value will be incremented by 1; If this key is not released, after about 3 seconds, the set value will continuously increase by 1; If the ∨ key is pressed, the set value will be reduced by 1; If you hold down the key and do not release it, after about 3 seconds, the set value will continuously decrease by 1.

（2） Humidity setting

1) Humidity setting: Press the 'Humidity Setting' button once, and the 'Upper Limit Setting' indicator light (red) on the window will light up. At this time, press the ∨ or ∧ button to change the humidity setting value to the desired humidity. Then press the 'Humidity Setting' button again, and the 'Lower Limit Setting' indicator light (green) on the window will light up. At this time, press the ∨ or ∧ button to set the lower limit humidity. Press the 'Humidity Setting' button again, and the 'Working' indicator light (red) on the window will light up, indicating that the microcomputer has entered automatic working mode. The difference between the 'lower limit setting' humidity value and the 'upper limit setting' humidity value is 2% (recommended value is 1%~5%), and users can also set it according to their actual situation.

2) Parameter modification: If you want to modify the humidity parameter during operation, then follow program 1 to make the modification.

3) Quick setting: When setting parameters, if you press the ∧ key, the last digit of the set value will increase by 1. If you do not release this key, after about 3 seconds, the set value will continuously increase by 1; If you press the ∨ key, the set value will decrease by 1. If you hold down the key and do not release it, after about 3 seconds, the set value will continuously decrease by 1.

4) Status indication: When the humidity inside the box does not reach the set lower limit humidity, the working and humidification indicator lights will turn on, the humidification atomizer will work, and the humidity will rise to the set lower limit humidity before intermittent humidification until the upper limit humidity is reached, at which point humidification will stop. Make the humidity fluctuate within the required range. When the humidity meter displays EFF, it is an overflow display, and the actual humidity exceeds the display range of the humidity meter. At this point, the outer door of the incubator can be opened, and usually the display will automatically resume after a period of time. If the humidity display is low, it can be humidified.
