  • Page 12: Description

    A double-door system has a tempered glass inner door that provides unobstructed viewing of the entire chamber. 314 series chambers are constructed of seamless stainless steel for cleaning ease and maintenance; 2 stainless steel shelves are standard—a total capacity is 5 shelves.
  • Page 13: Features

    Control Panel 314 series control panels have a series of command keys that enable users to enter set point values for tempera- ture, carbon dioxide, door heat and to calibrate a unit as required.
  • Page 14 ESCRIPTION AND EATURES CAL COMMAND KEY: The CAL key permits cal- ibration of temperature and CO2 when in this command mode. The Up and Down arrow keys are used to change the readout to correspond with the readings obtained from known stan- dards of temperature or CO2 measurement.

    PERATION Correct setting of the door heat control depends on varying factors such as chamber tempera- ture. In general, the setting should produce the minimal amount of heat necessary to eliminate glass door condensation and no more. If unsure of the amount of heat to produce, start at a low value and increment the setting by 5% every couple of hours until condensation is eliminated.

    Using Fyrite Hints on Using the Fyrite The following information is intended to supplement that Note found in the Fyrite manual and is based on experience A little water goes a long way. Use working with users of our Incubators. only a couple drops of distilled water at once.
  • Page 25: Taking A Fyrite Reading

    SING YRITE water will transfer into the Fyrite causing the fluid level to rise. Repeat this procedure until the fluid level reads correctly. • Inspect the Fyrite filter in the clear plastic casing between the hoses for any contamination or growth.
  • Page 26 SING YRITE CO2, so that it is important to let most of the smaller bubbles surface. Turn it right side up and hold it at 45 degrees. Allow the fluid to fill the Fyrite and depress the plunger again. This clears the Fyrite of any CO2 that might cause a false reading.
  • Page 27 SING YRITE 11. Once the bulb has been pumped the required number of times, HOLD THE SQUEEZE BULB IN THE "SQUEEZED" POSITION and release the pressure on the cup that will also release the plunger. This traps the sample from the Incubator in the Fyrite chamber and allows the fluid to absorb the CO2.

    AINTENANCE • Oxalic acid 2% to 5% in warm water. Swab solution on surface allowing it to remain until rust is loosened. Immediately follow with a clean water rinse. This method should ONLY be used if SEVERE rust and scale stains are present. Regardless of the approach utilized, ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s directions and allow the chemicals to do the cleaning with MINIMAL scrubbing.
