Page 6: Introduction
The Galaxy S+ CO incubator is microprocessor-controlled and designed to ensure accurate and reliable operation. The unit incorporates a simple, door-mounted touch-sensitive keypad with two individual three-digit LED displays that allow for easy programming and monitoring of the chamber conditions. A direct heat system, utilising a thermal heating element, completely surrounds the incubator, providing an even temperature within the chamber. -

2. Beginning with the front pair: tilt the incubator toward the back, and screw the feet in, to the required depth. 3. Tilt the incubator forward to install the rear pair of feet. 4. Put an anti-slip pad (provided) on each foot. RS Biotech User Guide... -
Page 10: Setting Up
If you are installing the optional rear castors, this would be a good time to install them in place of the rear feet. Setting Up Install the wire shelf racks and shelves, and level the incubator: 1. Oriented as shown in Figure 1 on the following page, place the shelf racks inside the chamber. - Page 11 2. Install the tie rod at the back of the shelves to hold both sides together, as shown in Figures 2 & 3. You may prefer to do this prior to inserting the racks in the chamber.

- Page 12 3. Install the 4 shelves (see Figure 4), beginning at the top. Make sure that each shelf’s anti-tip groove is properly inserted onto each of the shelf rack guides. Figure 4: Inserting Shelves (as seen from the back) 4. Level the incubator by adjusting the feet. Place a small level on the second shelf of the incubator.

Page 14: Making Connections
Making Connections Connect the CO gas supply: 1. Connect the unit to the CO supply using the ~ 6mm plastic tubing (with installed HEPA filter) by attaching the tubing from the two-stage regulator (or in-line regulator) to the matching CO inlet on right side of the equipment tray (see Figure 7). - Page 15 (see Figure 7 on the previous page). 2. After verifying that your supply voltage matches the voltage specified for your incubator and that the ON/OFF switch is OFF, plug the cord into your power supply outlet. RS Biotech User Guide...

Page 26: Routine Maintenance
General Notes To ensure that chamber conditions remain as stable as possible, be sure to minimise the length of time that the door is open. The magnetic door catches are specifically designed to make door opening and closing as easy as possible. When you open the door, wipe off any small drops of condensate that may have formed on its seal. -

2. Remove the spent fuse. 3. Install a new fuse, of the same type. 4. Orient the fuse holder back in the side panel and, using the screwdriver as before, secure it in place. RS Biotech User Guide... -
Page 28: Cleaning & Disinfecting
& & Cleaning 1. Routinely clean the exterior of the incubator by wiping it over with a soft cloth, moistened with soapy water. 2. Rinse the soap from the cloth in clean water, and wipe the exterior surfaces again. Disinfecting The recommended disinfecting agent for use with the incubator is a solution of 70% isopropanol (iso-propyl alcohol) and 30% distilled water. - Page 29 9. Be sure to remove the protective cover from the sensor and put it back in the holder for safekeeping. 10. Refill the humidity tray (as explained in Section 3.3). 11. Leave the incubator on for at least two hours (preferably overnight) to allow conditions to stabilise. RS Biotech User Guide...

Page 33: High Temperature Decontamination
The incubator must be cleaned, decontaminated chemically, and dried thoroughly before starting the process. The inner and outer door seals must be cleaned carefully and all surfaces wiped over with decontaminant (see the instructions in Section 6, Cleaning & Disinfecting). RS Biotech User Guide... - Page 34 NOTE: • Overly vigorous cleaning may damage the seals. • The shelves and humidity tray should also be in place during the cycle. • The black PVC protective CO sensor cover must be removed before starting a cycle. • The white porous CO sensor cover can remain in place, although it may suffer damage over time during the high temperature decontamination cycle.
- Page 35 If more than one of the above-mentioned events occurred, the messages will be displayed consecutively in the sequence in which the events occurred. The decontamination cycle can be cancelled at any time by pressing the * Key. RS Biotech User Guide...
- Page 36 If the chamber temperature rises above set point or the element temperature is greater than the total of chamber set point + chamber low control point temperature, the system will automatically begin cool down until these conditions are satisfied. If the incubator door is opened—a procedure that is highly discouraged because of the dangerously high temperature inside the chamber—during a decontamination cycle, the process will continue as normal.
-
Page 37: Ip66 Sealed Mains Outlet Socket (230Vac)
The incubator must be plugged into a mains supply protected by an RCD device. Any device chosen must be a ‘self-resetting’ type which will automatically reconnect power to the incubator as soon as power is restored following a power failure. RS Biotech User Guide... - Page 38 NOTE: If the incubator is to be used humidified, the normal RH level is ≈ 95%, any mains powered equipment or device must be designed for use in a humid atmosphere. Consult the manufacturer of the equipment to ensure that it is suitable.
