2.1 Intended use
The AL01-06/07 microbiological incubator is designed to cultivate microorganisms at defined
temperatures.
It can be used e.g. for determining the CFU through plate count methods or detecting of pathogenic
germs in clinical samples or product samples.
It is intended for use in laboratories in these sectors: life sciences, clinical medicine, veterinary
medicine, the pharmaceuticals industry, the food industry, toxicology, and basic research into biology
and preclinical medicine.
Any other use is not intended, and can cause damage and be harmful to health.
The AL01-06/07 should not, in particular, be used to prepare foods intended for consumption.
2.2 Dangers
If the AL01-06/07 is installed, operated, cleaned, disinfected, adjusted or set up incorrectly, there is a
risk of malfunction which could cause harm to human beings and material damage to the equipment
and samples.
Therefore the AL01-06/07 should only be installed, operated, cleaned, disinfected, adjusted and set up
by qualified persons.
• Persons qualified to install, operate, clean, disinfect, and adjust the AL01-06/07 include anyone
who has acquainted themselves with the contents of the user manual.
• Persons qualified to repair the AL01-06/07 only include service engineers belonging to the
equipment supplier who have undergone appropriate electrical training and who have acquainted
themselves with the contents of the AL01-06/07 service and user manual.

DANGER
Danger to life.
¾ The unit must be live to perform some of the diagnostic tasks described below.
¾ Take all precautionary measures not to get in contact with live components of the
unit.
Alarm and error messages as well as basic measures the operator himself may take to
clear them are described in the chapter “Troubleshooting” of the AL01-06/07 user
manual.
Please make sure these measures have been tried before looking further for any other
possible error causes.
This troubleshooting table below consists of four columns as follows:

• Error pattern 1:
This column describes the main error symptom. The housing of the unit may have to be opened
up or measuring equipment used in order to identify the error.
• Error pattern 2:
This column describes another error symptom or the operating condition of the unit, which will
show up together with error pattern 1.
Please note that the same error pattern 1 may occur along with different error patterns 2.
• Possible error causes / diagnosis:
This column describes possible errors and their diagnosis, which may be the cause for the
simultaneous occurrence of error patterns 1 and 2.
• Remedial measures:
This column lists remedial measures to clear specific error causes.
The sequence of the columns describing potential causes for error, and the remedial actions to clear
the described error patterns, is mainly intended to facilitate basic error diagnosis and clearance. So it
is recommended to work your way from top to bottom through the relevant columns of an error pattern.
Notations between brackets and in italics, e.g. (-1S1), behind a component in the troubleshooting
table, refer to the respective equipment codes for this component, as specified in the wiring diagram
(see chap. 6, page 31), and in labels on some parts inside the unit.

The measured resistance value [Ω] should correspond to the temperature value measured with the
reference instrument, within a tolerance range of +/-3 Ω. This tolerance can be assumed if the
accuracy of the temperature reference measuring device is at least 2 degrees and the accuracy of the
employed resistance testing unit is at least 2 Ω. With less accuracy, consider the respective tolerances
of these devices.
Remark: This is a rough test meant to decide whether to replace the Pt100 sensor or not. If you note a
deviation from the expected value given in Table 2 which is less than +/-3 Ω, this may be due to the
incertitude of the measuring equipment. In order to be sure that there is no deviation, you can calibrate
the controller (see description in the user manual).
