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 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.
INSTALLATION 1. Remove the packing tape and clean up. Remove all the tape that is securing the doors and inner attachments. Open the doors for ventilation. If the outer panels are dirty, dampen a cloth with a diluted neutral detergent and wipe them. (Using an undiluted solution may damage the plastic.
1. Use a liquefied CO gas cylinder (at least 99.5% pure). The siphon (dip tube) type cannot be used. 2. Install the Gas Pressure Regulator (MCO-100L, purchased separately) specified by Sanyo on the CO gas cylinder. Otherwise, use a CO...
Connection of N (or O ) gas cylinder WARNING Check the gas type and ensure that it is fit for the purpose. Make sure that all pipes are connected correctly and are not liable to become disconnected. Ensure that the gas pressure is set at the specified value.
Connection of gas injection nozzle In the case of control of O density in the chamber, connect the gas injection nozzle to the gas injection port by using the connecting pipe enclosed (inner diameter; 5 mm, outer diameter; 9 mm, length; 400 mm).
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.
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 concentration. Do not place harmful materials in the chamber. Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber.
Using the Unlock Key Unlocking when power is interrupted If power is interrupted to the MCO-19M(UVH)/19M(UV) with an MCO-HL installed, the outer door is electrically locked. To unlock the outer door while the power is interrupted, use the unlock key that is provided.
