  • Page 2: General Description

    This keeps the view into the chamber clear. COOLING A cooling coil is built in to your incubator which, when connected to a LEEC Self Contained Recirculating Cooler, allows the incubator to operate at temperatures near or below ambient.
  • Page 3 A 6.13A fuse next to the power cable entry point limits the current that the incubator can draw. There are additional internal fuses located under the removable lid for the main chamber heaters, door heater and decontamination system (GA2000 & GA3000 models only).

  • Page 4: Installation And Setup

    Your LEEC CO2 incubator must be installed in suitable location. It should be placed on a firm flat surface such as a laboratory bench, LEEC stacking frame or the floor. All models have adjustable feet at the front. An adjustable spanner is required if the feet need adjusting.

    Door LED This amber LED shows when the door heater is working. It flashes during normal operation. 3.12 Decon. LED (models GA2000 & GA3000 only) This amber LED shows when the decontamination cycle is active. 3.13 % CO2 DISPLAY This displays the chamber %CO2 reading during normal running. It is also used in the setting of various parameters (see section 5.0).

  • Page 7: Setting Operating Parameters

    SETTING USER OPERATING PARAMETERS The temperature and CO2 concentration inside the chamber can be set by the user. In addition, various alarm parameters can also be adjusted. This section describes the functions and the procedures and how to change them. There is also an Engineering Mode which can only accessed by trained service personnel.

  • Page 13: Checking Temperature Calibration

    COOLING COIL A cooling coil is built in to your incubator which, when connected to a LEEC Self Contained Recirculating Cooler, allows the incubator to operate at temperatures near or below ambient. The coil is located near the fan at the top of the chamber behind a false panel to give maximum efficiency.

  • Page 14: Maintenance And Cleaning

    CO2 gas is injected into the chamber. 10.4 CHAMBER CORROSION Inner chambers of LEEC CO2 incubators are made from the finest quality stainless steel available. However, corrosion can still result from the improper use of fungicides and bactericides. Chlorine based chemicals used for cleaning can cause permanent damage to the chamber and this is not covered by the warranty as no stainless steel is completely resistant to chlorine.

  • Page 15: Decontamination Procedure

    11.0 HIGH TEMPERATURE DECONTAMINATION (Research models only) Models GA2000 and GA3000 are fitted with a high temperature decontamination facility as standard. An additional heating element raises the chamber air temperature to approximately 95° C to decontaminate the chamber. This can be performed when required.
