Every Premium unit can be connected to the Ethernet network and controlled remotely using the Premium Control software. The features of the program have been described in a separate instruction manual. Troubleshooting Before you contact VWR Service Department (21.Technical service): Make sure that the operation complies with the instruction manual of the CO incubator.
Check gas connections for leaks (e.g. with leak spray or dilluted soap solution). Run an exemplary program, adjusting 5% CO concentration. When no gas bubbles are observed after few valve openings, that can be heard (max. 1 minute of the program), the hoses are connected properly. Stop the program. ® vwr.com I Instruction manual VWR incubator...
Electrical parts should not be in contact with water or detergent. Clean the touch screen using a soft cloth. USB port can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to prevent accumulation of dirt inside the socket. ® vwr.com I Instruction manual VWR incubator...
NEVER spray the disinfectant directly on the CO sensor. Wipe the sensor with a lint-free cloth soaked with the disinfectant. Use only the detergents or disinfectants recommended by VWR. Other products are not approved, since they could in particular damage the CO sensor.
