Connecting The Hose Lead To The Gas Bottle - Binder APT.line C 150 Operating Manual

Output pressure higher than the value indicated on the incubator.
Damage to the unit.
∅ Do NOT exceed the indicated output pressure of 2.5 bar / 36 psi above the ambient
pressure.
Before connecting, check the output pressure on the pressure reducer of the bottle.
The CO gas necessary for operation must have a technical grade of 99.5 %.
2
Connect the CO bottle with the supplied gas hose. Socket DN 6 for a hose with internal diameter 6 mm /
2
0.24 inches. For connection to the quick acting closure socket (14) on the rear of the unit, see chap.
4.4.2.
Adjust the gas admission pressure at the CO
above the ambient pressure.
Replacing gas bottles: Remove the hose connection to the incubator. Then open the main valve of the
bottle pressure reducer. Check the output pressure on the second manometer; if appropriate, set it to 2.5
bar / 36 psi maximum. Only then should you establish a hose connection to the incubator.
The recovery times of the gas concentrations inside the chamber after opening the door are
indicated in the technical data (chap. 18.4) and refer to a connection pressure of 2.0 bar / 29
psi. Decreasing supply pressure will result in longer recovery times.
Conversion table for gas inlet pressures, bar – psi, see chap. 18.6.
If you connect several units with different maximum values of gas admission pressure to a
common supply net, use pressure reducers for units with a lower maximum gas admission
pressure.

4.4.2 Connecting the hose lead to the gas bottle

The gas hose, which will be used to establish the connection to a gas bottle, is already attached to the
hose nozzle and secured by a hose clamp. Plug the hose nozzle into the corresponding quick acting clo-
sure socket (a) located at the rear of the unit. This quick acting closure socket is closed by a rubber cover
(b).
Only use the supplied hose nozzle to connect to the quick acting closure socket.
Otherwise, the quick acting closure socket may leak, and/or it may become impossible to con-
nect the original hose nozzle. In this case, please contact BINDER Service.
