VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 1. Safety and general precaution 1.1. General information on precaution Precaution is to prevent the possible accident or danger during operation. So, you must keep Precaution is divided into caution and warning. And, each of them has following meanings.
1.2. Precaution for using the power cable Do not make the power plug be pressed by back of the product. (A space between the product and the plug must be 30cm at least.) The power outlet must be only for this product. (Using various products simultaneously can cause a fire) Clean the power plug with a dry towel and connect it properly.
VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 1.4. Precaution for use You must not disassemble, fix and remodel the product by yourself. (You can damage the product throughout a fire and malfunction or get a property loss as well as experimental loss. Do not use the product for different purpose.
2. Transportation, storage and location of installation 2.1. Transportation DO NOT try to slide or tilt the unit Lift the unit at its four lower corners with the aid of 2 people. Permissible ambient temperature range for transport: -10℃ to 60℃. 2.2.
VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 2.3. Location of installation and ambient conditions Do not put inflammable substances near the product. (It can cause a fire) When you install the product, you have to put the distance of at least 30cm from the wall. To completely separate the unit from the power supply, power plug must be disconnected.
When you have received the instrument which is packed on pallet, inspect the box carefully for any damages that may have caused any damages to product during shipping. Please report any damage to the carrier or to your local VACC-SAFE distributor. LOCATION The incubator is designed to operate at temperature 5℃...

VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 6. Operation Before Switch ON, insert water tray filling with distilled water (If necessary). Make sure connection of gas supply. And Open CO gas cylinder or supply with the pressure of regulator set to 4.5~7.25Psi or 0.3~0.5 bar.
6.4. Calibration of temperature & CO Please follow up the procedure for calibration below in case of discrepancy between actual value (measured by reliable thermometer or device) in chamber and displayed value. Conduct the analysis of CO density and Temperature when incubator has been stabilized for more than 2 hours.
Push UP ( ▲ ) and DOWN ( ▼ ) to adjust CO % display. Before release of CO incubator from VACC-SAFE factory, CO density is calibrated optimizing at 5%. When using different density ofCO rather than 5%, this calibration is highly recommendable.
than 3 minutes. If CO₂ deviation is more than ±1% from set point for about 3 minutes, alarm starts ringing. So, CO₂ alarm tolerance delay is about 3 minutes. Door Open The outer door is open for longer than one minute. *When pressing the alarm mute button on the control panel will stop the alarm from activating.

VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 2. Seal access port with full silicon stopper (Use complete stopper without drilling hole.) 3. Empty the chamber except shelves and rack. Water trays can be left in, but without water. 4. Clean the inside of the chamber and dry thoroughly. Before starting this program, set the desired end temperature and CO2% values.
(& CAL/SET) which directed as CLEAN MODE. At the same time long press two buttons to enter the dry heat sterilization process The display should indicate the following: Figure 2: Display of the incubator indicating sterilization cycle “CLEAN” is shown in temperature display and 600 is shown in CO₂ LED Window. CLEAN means the HOT AIR Decontamination program is now activated.

VACC-SAFE CO Incubator 7. Safety Switch It is the safety device to prevent the heater from overheating, when the temperature controller is malfunctioning. Set the Safety S/W higher than setting point. The Safety S/W has wide deviation. Safety S/W is the safety device for preventing the heater to overheat when TEMPCONTROL is malfunctioning.
