UV LAMP PARAMETERS
MCO-230AICUVH/230AICUV or when an optional UV system set MCO-170UVS is installed to the
MCO-230AIC, UV lamp is workable.
After closing the outer door, UV lamp lights for the preset period*, to disinfect the water in the humidifying
pan, and the air circulating in the chamber.
Using UV lamp
1. Correctly install all of the inner attachments, and place the cultivation samples on the trays.
Note:
・The humidifying pan and humidifying pan cover prevent UV light from leaking. Always use them even
when not humidifying.
・Never turn ON the UV lamp when the humidifying pan cover is removed.
・Always use the humidifying pan cover even when using the incubator without turning ON the UV lamp.
Using without humidifying pan cover may have a bad influence on the chamber temperature distribution
and humidity recovery.
2. When closing the outer door, the UV lamp lights for the preset period*.
Note:
・If the outer door is opened while the UV lamp is lit, the lamp will turn OFF. Then, when the door is closed,
the lamp will light for the preset period*.
・If only the outer door is repeated opened and closed, it may have a bad influence on the condensation in
the chamber and chamber temperature distribution because the UV lamp generates heat for a long time. It
may also shorten the service life of the UV lamp.
・The preset period* can be changed when necessary as shown in the page 58～59.
・To check whether the UV lamp is lit, open the outer door and then press the door switch with the inner
door close. Visible blue light can be confirmed from the front of the humidifying pan cover.
Note: UV light is harmful to the eyes, so do not light the UV lamp when the inner door is open.
WARNING
Do not look directly at UV light. UV light is harmful to the eyes.
3. If the outer door is not opened for at least 12 consecutive hours, the UV lamp lights for the preset
period* every 12 hours.
Note: Outer door opening resets the 12-hours-count.
* The set period in UV Timer setting + the period extended by the UV Timer Ext.. Refer to page 59.
The recommended replacement time for the UV lamp (i.e., when the UV output ratio drops to 60 % to
70 % of its initial value) is when the accumulated ON time reaches 5,000 hours. When the accumulated
ON time reaches approximately 5,000 hours, "Warning: UV Bulb Life" is displayed in the message display
field. It is recommended that the UV lamp be quickly replaced at this point. Contact our sales
representative or agent for information on replacing the UV lamp.
