  • Page 17: Installation Installation Site

    INSTALLATION Installation site For correct operation of the incubator, install it in a location with the following conditions. WARNING When using CO gas for control, make sure that there is an adequate ventilation. Using CO gas in a small room without adequate ventilation may cause gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation. In addition, when opening the incubator doors, do not directly inhale the air in the chamber.
  • Page 18 INSTALLATION  Low humidity Select a site with a relative humidity of 80 %R.H. or lower. Using the incubator in high humidity may result in current leakage or electric shock. WARNING Do not use the incubator outdoors. If the incubator is exposed to rain water, it may result in current leakage or electric shock.

  • Page 19: Installation

    Installation 1. Remove the packing tape and clean up. Remove all the tapes that are securing the doors and the inner attachments. Open the doors for ventilation. If the outer panels are dirty, wet a cloth with a diluted neutral detergent and wipe them. (Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic components.
  • Page 20 INSTALLATION 5. Ground the incubator. Ground the incubator during installation to prevent electric shock in case the insulation is not sufficient. If there is no ground wire at the location, consult with qualified service personnel.  When a ground must be installed If a grounded 3-pole outlet is not available, then a ground must be installed.
  • Page 21  In case of double stack Hooks For stacking the incubators surely, refer to the Wire procedure included with the optional double stacking bracket MCO-170PS or the stacking plate MCO-170SB. Note: · Two hooks are attached to the rear of the upper incubator.

  • Page 22: Connecting Co Gas Cylinder

    INSTALLATION Connecting CO gas cylinder WARNING When connecting a gas cylinder to the incubator, confirm the gas type. Confirm that the connections are secure and that no gas will leak.

  • Page 28: For Better Cultivation

    FOR BETTER CULTIVATION Precautions for cultures  Leave space between culture containers. Always leave space for ventilation between culture containers (Petri dishes, flasks, etc.). Inadequate spacing may result in uneven temperature distribution and CO gas density.  Do not place harmful materials in the chamber. Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber.

  • Page 29: Preventing Contamination

    Preventing contamination To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site.  Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity. Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in the air.  Avoid locations with passers-by or drafts. Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where passers-by or drafts can facilitate the entry of microorganisms into the chamber.
