The micro processor CO control system interprets the information from the CO sensor, displays the concentration directly on the digital display, reads the CO set point and controls the percentage of CO in the incubator chamber. The CO sensors operate under the principal that a certain frequency of infrared light is absorbed by .

Section FYRITE CO CHECKING A Bacharach FYRITE CO Gas Analyzer is recommended to measure CO concentrations in the incubator chamber. This test instrument is not supplied with the incubator but is readily available from your dealer. Follow the instructions provided with each Fyrite instrument carefully to insure correct and accurate readings.

Section MAINTENANCE NOTE: Prior to any maintenance or service on the unit, disconnect service cord from the power supply. Cleaning: Disinfect the incubator interior on a regular basis. To prepare the incubator for cleaning remove the shelves and shelf slides. These stainless steel parts are autoclavable. First clean removed parts and interior with soap and water.

Section HEPA CO FILTER The CO Incubator design features a HEPA filtration system with a patented copper housing. (Patent Number 6,333,004) As the chamber air is drawn through the filter system, airborne microbes and isolated particulates are not only removed from the air, but destroyed as well.
Page 15
Section TROUBLESHOOTING Always make a visual inspection of the incubator and control console when troubleshooting. Look for loose or disconnected wires or tubing which may be the source of the problem. The incubator is designed so that no internal electrical servicing should be required under normal conditions.
