Page 29: Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION SCO5W incubators are engineered to provide a constant temperature CO incubation environment that is passively humidified to prevent the premature drying of sample media. Filling the humidification pan will result in a relative humidity (RH) of 90 – 95% in the chamber. Each incubator... - Page 30 OPERATION Atmosphere The microprocessor also controls the gas concentration of CO in the chamber atmosphere by operating an internal injection solenoid valve connected to a gas input port. The processor monitors concentration level in the incubator using an infrared sensor located in the recirculation duct. The sensor operates on the principle that a specific frequency set of infrared light is absorbed by .

Page 35: Muting The Audible Temperature Alarm
OPERATION UTING THE UDIBLE EMPERATURE LARM Audible and visual deviation alarms activate if the incubation chamber temperature deviates by 1°C above or below the temperature set point. The low deviation audible alarm has a delay of 15 minutes to prevent the low audible from sounding each time the doors are opened, causing a short-lived drop in temperature. -

Page 38: Muting The Audible Co Alarm
OPERATION UTING THE UDIBLE LARM A visual devation indicator alarm illuminates if the chamber CO level deviates 1% above or below the set point. An audible alarm sounds immediately for a high deviation. The low deviation audible alarm sounds only after the visual low indicator light has been continually illuminated for 15 minutes. This delay prevents the alarm from sounding each time the chamber doors are opened. -
Page 39: Set The Over Temperature Limit
OPERATION Note: Test the OTL system at least once per year for functionality. ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT This procedure sets the OTL heating cutoff point to approximately 1°C above the current incubation chamber temperature. The unit must be operating stabilized at your application temperature for at least 1 hour prior to setting the OTL cutoff system. -
Page 40: Load The Incubator
OPERATION OAD THE NCUBATOR Place items on the shelves inside the incubation chamber as evenly spaced as possible. Proper spacing allows for maximum air circulation and a high degree of temperature uniformity. Leave 1 inch (25mm) between sample containers and the chamber walls. This completes the Put the Incubator into Operation procedure. -
Page 41: Data Output Capabilities
Example logline output: C1=37.0 C3=5.0 C4=95 Optional Jack Ports SCO5W units may be ordered from the factory equipped with a 4 – 20 milliamp analog output board as a special quote (SQ) unit. The analog 4-20 milliamp outputs can be connected to a building management system (BMS) or other data monitoring and capture system through the use of two (2) jack ports on the left side of the incubator. -
Page 42: Condensation And The Dew Point
OPERATION ONDENSATION AND THE OINT Relative humidity inside the incubator chamber should never be allowed to exceed 95%. Exceeding this threshold will likely result in condensation, possible leaks around the incubator, and may cause corrosion damage if allowed to continue for any significant length of time. Condensation takes place whenever the humidity level in the incubator chamber reaches the dew point. -
