  • Page 4 INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a water jacket incubator. These units are not intended for use at hazardous or household locations. Before you use the unit, read this entire manual carefully to understand how to install, operate, and maintain the unit in a safe manner. Your satisfaction with the unit will be maximized as you read about its safety and operational features.
  • Page 5: Receiving And Inspection

    Section RECEIVING AND INSPECTION IMPORTANT: READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IMMEDIATELY! Your satisfaction and safety require a complete understanding of this unit, including its proper function and operational characteristics. Be sure operators are given adequate training before attempting to put the unit in service. NOTE: This equipment must be used only for its intended application;...

    Section GRAPHIC SYMBOLS Your incubator has been provided with a display of graphic symbols which is designed to help in identifying the use and function of the available user adjustable components. Indicates that you should consult your manual for further description or discussion of a control or user item.
  • Page 7: Installation

    Section INSTALLATION Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user. Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5°...

  • Page 11: Control Panel Overview

    Section CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW (See Figure 2) All controls are located on the front panel, except the over temperature safety which is located in the back and the Door Temperature Controller which is located on the liner of the outer door. Units with a detachable cord have a fused inlet located at the top rear of the control panel.
  • Page 12 injected. The TC type CO2 sensor required 95% humidity to correctly measure the CO2 levels. The CO2 should be turned OFF during warm up. Failure to do so will cause the control overshoot the set value input by the operator, the injection value can be reset by going into cal mode on the main and door temperatures and back out of cal mode.

  • Page 14: Operation

    Section OPERATION READ THIS SECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING OPERATION! IMPORTANT: In order to ensure the proper operation of this incubator, it is essential that you regularly verify the accuracy of the temperature and CO controls. Temperature can be confirmed by use of a thermometer inside of the chamber. CO can be confirmed with the use of a Fyrite Gas Analyzer or other equipment such as a gas chromatograph.
  • Page 15 manual. Calibrating the Controls: Push and hold both the UP and DOWN buttons until the decimal points in the display begin to blink. While the decimal points are blinking the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to adjust the display to match the actual condition in the incubator chamber.
  • Page 16 Temperature Calibration: It is important that the calibration be performed in the following order: Main temperature, and then the Over Temperature Safety. During main temperature calibration it is important that the inner glass door not be opened for any reason, and that the outer heated door be opened as little as possible.
  • Page 17 Figure 3 The CO inlet fittings are located at the back of the unit near the top (see figure three). They are marked CO TO CHAMBER. You have the option of using one or two tanks. A supply hose with in-line CO filter (supplied with your accessories) connects from each fitting to a CO2 tank and regulator.
  • Page 18 quickly and will stay there for most of the duration of the tank. At the end of use the pressure will drop quickly to zero to indicate that the tank is completely empty. Pure CO is in a liquid state in the tank, and a constant vapor pressure is generated in the tank above the liquid level.
  • Page 19 5.11 Adjusting CO Display: After the incubator has had several hours to stabilize at set point, measure the actual CO % with a Fyrite. If there is any difference between the Fryite and the display, use the procedure described in section 5.4 for making the display match the Fyrite.
  • Page 20: Data Logger Function

    Section DATA LOGGER FUNCTION The data logger provides ways to externally indicate or log all the incubator front panel displays at intervals ranging from 1 to 99 minutes. The logger contains a real time clock/calendar to date and time stamp each logged reading. The logger indicates and logs all front panel display readings in single lines of text.

  • Page 22: Fyrite Co2 Checking

    Section FYRITE CO CHECKING A Bacharach FYRITE CO2 Gas Analyzer is recommended to measure CO2 concentrations in the incubator chamber. This test instrument is not supplied with the incubator but is readily available from your dealer. Follow the instructions provided with each Fyrite instrument carefully to insure correct and accurate readings.
  • Page 23: Hepa C02 Filter

    Section HEPA C02 FILTER The CO2 Incubator design features a HEPA filtration system with a patented copper housing. (Patent No. 6,333,004) As the chamber air is drawn through the filter system, airborne microbes and isolated particulates are not only removed from the air, but destroyed as well. It is through copper oxidation that the contaminants are actually killed.
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    Section MAINTENANCE NOTE: Prior to any maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect the service cord from the power supply. Cleaning: Cleaning and decontamination are recommended on a regular basis. To prepare the incubator for cleaning remove all interior parts such as the shelf standards and false top.
  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    Section TROUBLESHOOTING CAUTION: Extreme caution must be exercised any time access is made into areas housing electrical components. Repair, replacement or adjustment of components in these areas must only be done by qualified technicians familiar with electrical circuitry and the operation of the chamber. Always make a visual inspection of the incubator and control console when troubleshooting.
