Page 27: Control Panel Overview
CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW Control Panel Power Switch Power is supplied when the switch is in the ( I ) ON position. Over Temperature Limit This graduated dial sets the mechanical heating cut off for the Over Temperature Limit system (OTL). The OTL helps prevents unchecked heating of the chamber in the event of an electronics failure or external heat spike. - Page 28 CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW Set CO Display and Controls Shows the current concentration of CO as a percentage of the incubation chamber atmosphere. The display has a range of OFF (0%) to 20% and an accuracy of 0.1%. The display shows “LO” until the CO sensor registers a concentration in the chamber greater than 0%.

Page 29: Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Heating When powered, the incubator heats to and maintains a user-selected target setpoint in the incubation chamber. The incubator senses the chamber air temperature using a solid-state probe mounted on the chamber interior wall. When the incubator detects that the chamber temperature has dropped below the target setpoint, it pulses power to heating elements on the surface of the water-jacket insulation space and in the outer chamber door. - Page 30 OPERATION Atmosphere The incubator also controls and maintains the gas concentration of CO in the chamber atmosphere by operating an internal injection solenoid valve connected to a gas input port. The incubator monitors CO concentration level in the chamber using an infrared sensor located in the recirculation duct.

Page 31: Put The Incubator Into Operation
OPERATION From a cold start, the incubator requires 12 hours to come up to and stabilize at temperature Note: and humidity levels prior to loading samples. Stabilization safeguards samples. UT THE NCUBATOR INTO PERATION Perform the procedures below after the unit has been installed in a new workplace location. These prepare the incubator for normal use. - Page 32 OPERATION Continued from the previous page.

Page 38: Muting The Audible Co Alarm
OPERATION UTING THE UDIBLE LARM Audible and visual deviation alarms activate if the incubation chamber CO concentration deviates by 1% above or below the CO setpoint. The low deviation audible alarm has a delay of 15 minutes to prevent the low alarm from sounding each time the doors are opened, causing a short-lived drop in CO concentration. -
Page 39: Set The Over Temperature Limit (Otl)
OPERATION Note: Test the OTL system at least once per year to verify its functionality. Failure to set the OTL voids the manufacturing defect warranty if over temperature damage occurs. (OTL) ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT This procedure sets the mechanical heating cutoff to approximately 1°C above the current chamber temperature. -
Page 40: Loading Samples

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. -
