The incubator incorporates a two-level alarm system. The chamber-monitoring alarms are programmable and will alert you if temperature or CO have not recovered within a preset time after the door has been opened. If it is not required, this system can be disarmed. The system alarms occur only if a system component problem has developed that requires user intervention to rectify.
& 2.1 Inspection of Boxes After you have received your order from New Brunswick Scientific, inspect the boxes carefully for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the carrier and to your local NBS Sales Order Department or distributor immediately.
1. Insert the power cord into its receptacle on the back on the unit. 2. Press the cord firmly into its socket. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

2. Ensure that the white porous sensor cover remains in place. 3. Using the power cord provided, connect the incubator to a grounded power supply. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
4. Switch the incubator ON using the on/off switch at the rear of the cabinet. The display will illuminate immediately. 5. Turn on the CO gas supply with the pressure regulator set to 5 psi or 0.35 bar. NOTE: Be certain to check for leaks in the CO connections to avoid depleting your CO gas supply.
4. If you have made adjustments, allow the incubator to stabilize at the setpoints before continuing. (See important NOTE on the following page.) New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
NOTE: If a temperature >1°C below the actual chamber temperature is set, the independent over-temperature system will activate. This is indicated by a warning message on the display. When the chamber cools down, normal operation will resume. Programming a higher temperature can also deactivate the warning.

3.6.1 DATE/TIME ADJUST The date and time are factory-set and will only require adjustment if you are in a different time zone, or when you change your clocks to Daylight Saving Time and back again to Standard time. You may also select the style of display for the date.
See Section 7.1 for available options. To disable a feature, scroll to using the & direction keys, then press function key. ENTER New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
3.6.7 (Model Option) DECONTAMINATION If the incubator is supplied with the High Temperature Decontamination option, the menu item will be displayed. This feature activates the DECONTAMINATION decontamination cycle of the incubator. The decontamination cycle heats the inner chamber to 120 C, holds that temperature for 4 hours, then cools the chamber to the selected temperature setpoint.
15-minute to 2½-hour increments or vice versa. A heavy dotted line is displayed when the unit is switched on. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Figure 10: TEMPERATURE GRAPH + DOOR OPEN BAR CHART Screen Compressing data allows memory space to be maximized. Once the memory space has been filled, the earliest events are overwritten as they are replaced by the latest recording. Graphical recording can be extended, however, to a number of years if your incubator is equipped with an RS-232 port, by connecting the port to a PC loaded with InnovaLog Software (see Section 7.2).
Alternatively, the alarm system can be set to rearm only after the original temperature and CO setpoints have been achieved: 1. Choose the option ARM ALARMS WHEN AT SETPOINT: 2. Select for both TEMP New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

If the CO valve is opened and no pressure is detected, an alarm occurs and a warning message appears on the screen, alerting you to CHECK CO SUPPLY Figure 14: CHAMBER ALARM to Check CO Supply As you can see in Figure 14 above, instructions are provided in the ALARM screen to deal with the situation that triggered the alarm.
If the user manual is misplaced, information about the CO incubator and its functions can always be found on-screen. Figure 16: HELP MENU Screen New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

2. If required, you can take a sample of the gas inside the chamber using the CO sample port, and check it using a CO gas analyzer. The CO sample port is located at the top of the rear panel. If you conduct a sampling, please do the following: Turn off the CO gas by re-programming the setpoint for CO...
4. Place the black protective cover over the CO sensor. Also protect any additional sensors, such as Oxygen or Humidity, with the cover(s) supplied. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Page 41
CAUTION! It is very important to ensure that no liquid is spilled onto the white porous CO sensor cover at the rear of the chamber. Failure to use the protective cover(s) could result in damage to the sensor(s) and may affect your warranty. 5.
If your incubator is supplied with the option of high temperature decontamination, follow the guidelines outlined in the appendix section for correctly and safely operating this option.
