- Page 13 6) Open the gas flow out of the regulator by turning the “T” bar counterclockwise. This begins the flow of gas to the controller. Set the regulator flow rate at 50 CFH for the TT‐8100 or 33 CFH for the TT‐ 4000. 7) The system has two preset timers for species selection. Press up for “ADULTS” or down for “NEONATES” on the front of side control box. The red “RUN” light indicates the euthanasia cycle is operating. Adult Start Toggle Neonates 8) During the first initial run, adjust the regulator flow rate to 50 CFPH. This adjustment will assure a humane process. Animals will first be anesthetized with minimal stress and then euthanized while asleep. Exceeding this flow rate may introduce stress to animals and result in operation outside of AVMA guidelines. (This regulator adjustment is typically only required the first time using the system and when a full CO tank is first put on line.) 9) The system will cycle through two stages: Stage 1 Charging: Gas flows through the chamber for 8:30 minutes, fully charging the chamber with CO . Stage 2 Dwell: Gas flow stops and the chamber remains fully charged with CO for 5 minutes. Stage 3 Exhaust: Blower will activate for 3.5 minutes, chamber will unlock and return to ready state (green). ...
