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. Follow the diluting instructions for the detergent that is used.)

Wipe off the residual detergent with a wet cloth and then wipe off any moisture.

WARNING

Do not leave plastic wrapping bags within reach of children. If a bag is placed over a child’s head, it

can block the mouth and nose and cause suffocation.

2. Adjust the leveling feet.

Adjust the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise to level the Incubator. (See the illustration on

the right.)

3. 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.

z When a ground must be installed

If a grounded 3-pole outlet is not available, then a ground must be installed. Consult with qualified service

personnel.

WARNING

To prevent electric shock, always ground the Incubator. If grounding is not possible, then have a ground

installed by qualified personnel. If the Incubator is not grounded, it may result in electric shock.

Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone ground wire.

Doing so may cause electric shock_.

z Installing a ground fault circuit breaker

If using the Incubator in a location with moisture or humidity cannot be avoided, then it is recommended

that a ground fault circuit breaker be installed in the power supply circuit (i.e., the power supply at the

Incubator). Have the circuit breaker installed by qualified service personnel.

CAUTION

Do not climb on the Incubator or place objects on top of it. Doing so may damage it or cause it to fall

over, resulting in injury. If it is to be stacked, refer to page 72 and stack it securely.

z When the Incubator is not in use

Empty the water from the humidifying pan and remove moisture from the chamber. Make sure that the

chamber is completely dry before closing the doors. Failure to do so may result in damage.

Connection of CO₂gas 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 escape. Be sure to use the specified pressure. Using an incorrect

gas or pressure may result in explosion or fire, or in gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation due to escaping

gas.

Install the Incubator in a location with adequate ventilation. If adequate ventilation cannot be

provided, then install an alarm system using CO₂and O₂densitometers.

1. Use a liquefied CO₂gas 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 CO₂

gas cylinder. Otherwise, use a CO₂gas pressure regulator rated at 25 MPaG (250 kgf/cm²G, 3600 psiG)

for the primary pressure, and 0.2 MPaG (2 kgf/cm²G, 30 psiG) for the secondary pressure.

3. Using the gas supply pipe that is provided, connect the CO₂gas pressure regulator to the CO₂gas pipe

inlet (located at the lower left-hand side on the rear panel of the Incubator).

Note:

If CO₂is supplied to multiple CO₂Incubators from a single gas cylinder, a CO₂solid will be formed in the

gas pressure regulator. The gas pressure regulator safety valve will operate, and there may an explosive

sound.

When the MCO-21GC is not mounted

Using the gas supply pipe that is provided, connect the CO₂gas pressure regulator for the CO₂gas

cylinder to CO₂gas pipe connection port A on the Incubator. After connecting the pipe, check to make

sure that no gas is leaking.

When the MCO-21GC is mounted

Connect a pair of CO₂gas cylinders with CO₂gas pressure regulators independently. The gas supply line

will be switched automatically. Connect the main cylinder to port A and the reserve cylinder to port B. After

connecting the cylinders, check to make sure that no gas is leaking.

z For details on installing the optional automatic CO₂Cylinder Changeover System (MCO-21GC), refer to

the MCO-21GC installation guide. For details on using the MCO-21GC, refer to page 67.

4. Set the CO₂gas on the secondary side to 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm²G, 4.3 psiG) for gas injection. As the

pressure increases, the CO₂gas concentration control range will increase. Excessive pressure may

cause gas supply lines inside the Incubator to come loose, which may result in gas poisoning or oxygen

deprivation due to the escaping of gas. If gas lines come loose, the Incubator must be repaired.

z The gas lines connected to the Incubator will degrade over time. If any deterioration or abnormalities

are found during inspection, replace the lines immediately.

Connection of N₂(or O₂) 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. Improper connection of the gas pipe or use of incorrect gas pressure

may result in leakage of gas. Elevated level of gas can be hazardous to health and may lead to

asphyxiation and risk of death.

This incubator needs N₂or O₂gas depending on the setting of O₂density. The selection is as follows:

When the setting of O₂density is less than 18%: N₂gas

When the setting of O₂density is more than 22%: O₂gas

O₂density in the atmosphere is about 20%. For the control of O₂density in the chamber, O₂gas is

diluted by N₂gas when the setting of O₂density is less than that of the atmosphere. On the contrary, O₂

gas is added when the setting of O₂density is more than that of the atmosphere.

1. Install a gas pressure regulator (optional accessory MCO-100L) on N₂or O₂gas cylinder. Or use a

regulator rated at 25 MPaG (250 kgf/cm²G, 3600 psiG) on the primary side and 0.2 MPaG (2.0 kgf/cm²G,

30 psiG) on the secondary side.

2. Using the gas tube provided, connect the pressure regulator to the connecting port A/B for N₂/O₂gas

pipe located at the rear left side of the incubator. Connect the main cylinder to the connecting port A for

N₂/O₂gas pipe and connect the sub-cylinder to the connecting port B for N₂/O₂gas pipe so that the gas

supply can be switched automatically when one gas cylinder is empty. Connect the same gas type to

both connecting port A/B for N₂/O₂gas pipe. Never connect N₂gas and O₂gas at the same time to the

connecting port A/B for N₂/O₂gas pipe respectively.

3. Set the N₂or O₂gas pressure on the secondary side to 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm²G, 7.1 psiG) (at gas

injection). The higher gas pressure makes control range of O₂density wider. In addition, excessive

pressure may cause disconnection of internal pipes inside the incubator, which will result in leakage of N₂

or O₂gas into the atmosphere. Elevated level of CO₂gas or O₂gas can be hazardous to health and

may lead to asphyxiation and risk of death or fire by gas leakage. The repair of the incubator will be

necessary if the internal pipe is disconnected.

4. Check that no gas is leaking at any point where the pipe connects with the gas regulator or the

incubator.

z The gas lines connected to the Incubator will degrade over time. If any deterioration or abnormalities

are found during inspection, replace the lines immediately.

WARNING

O₂gas increases the susceptibility of substances to burn. Take care of the handling of flame in a room

where the incubator is installed.

Connection of gas injection nozzle

In the case of control of O₂density 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). This helps faster recovery of humidity after opening of the inner door.

Fill the humidifying pan with sterile distilled water so that the injection nozzle can be under the water level.

PREVENTING CONTAMINATION

To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site.

z Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity.

Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in

the air.

z 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.

z If possible, use a cleanroom.

To achieve a better culture, it is recommended that a cleanroom be used if one is available.

z Use clean containers.

The greatest cause of contamination is dirty containers for cultures. Be careful not to get containers or

trays dirty when taking them in and out.

z Keep the chamber clean.

Wipe off any fingerprints. If water spills from the humidifying pan, or if the doors are left open for a long

time, condensation may form on the inside of the doors. If that occurs, wipe off the condensation with a

dry sterile gauze. In particular, clean and disinfect the chamber if the culture medium is spilled. For details,

refer to Routine Maintenance on page 45.

z Use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan.

Always use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan. Do not use ultrapure water, because it may

contain red rust-like suspended particles.

A water level alarm is displayed in the status display area on the control panel. Quickly refill the water in

the pan when the water level alarm is displayed. Adding low-temperature water will significantly lower the

temperature in the chamber. Clean the humidifying pan once a month.

z Keep the Incubator out of direct airflows from air conditioners or fans.

Cool airflow from an air conditioner may cause condensation and lead to possible contamination.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES

z 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 CO₂gas concentration.

z Do not place harmful materials in the chamber.

Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber. Doing so may cause

damage resulting from discoloration or corrosion.

z Close the inner door and all gastight split doors.

Always close the inner door and all gastight split doors before closing the outer door. Failure to close the

inner door or any gastight split door will adversely affect performance even if the outer door is closed.

z Open and close the doors gently.

Always open and close the doors gently. Closing the doors forcefully may cause spillage of the culture

medium, incomplete closing, or damage to the gasket. Before opening the inner door, check through the

glass to confirm that the UV lamp is OFF (if the MCO-19M(UVH)/19M(UV) or the optional MCO-19UVS is

installed).

z Be careful when closing the outer door.

Use the handle when closing the outer door. Holding the door in other places may cause injury by getting

fingers caught in the door. Do not lean on the outer door. Doing so may result in injury from the outer door

coming loose or the Incubator falling over, or it may cause current leakage or electric shock.

z Be careful of the inside of the outer door.

The inside of the outer door may become hot.

z Avoid using excessive force on the inner door.

Do not put your hand on the glass, poke it with sharp objects, or apply strong force. Doing so may result

in injury from breaking the glass.

z Check the cause of any alarm buzzer.

If an alarm buzzer sounds while the Incubator is in use, immediately check the cause of the alarm. For

Using the Unlock Key

z 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. To lock the outer door again, turn the unlock key to the lock direction while the door is open.

After the door has been locked condition manually, then close the door.

Note:

The outer door cannot be locked by using the unlock key while the door is closed. Lock the door while it is

open. Attempting to turn the unlock key while the door is closed may damage the electric lock system.

WARNING

For the MCO-19M(UVH)/19M(UV) with an MCO-HL installed, the outer door is electrically locked during

decontamination. The chamber is filled with H₂O₂gas during decontamination. Do not unlock the door

during decontamination.

CORRECT OPERATION

Use the following procedure to start trial operation or actual operation of the Incubator.

1. Install the Incubator correctly, referring to Installation on page 15.

2. Remove the packing materials from the chamber and inner attachments. Clean and disinfect the

chamber and inner attachments, referring to Routine Maintenance on page 45.

3. Add approximately 1.5 L of sterile distilled water to the humidifying pan. (Refer to page 48.)

4. Turn ON the power supply switch on the left side of the rear panel of the Incubator.

Note:

The humidity in the Incubator chamber is adjusted to the optimum setting. To prevent condensation on

the surface inside chamber and the inner door, there is a low-temperature area under the humidifying pan

in the bottom of chamber to recondense evaporated moisture. Condensation may occur around the

humidifying pan at the bottom of the chamber, but this does not indicate a problem.

UV LAMP PARAMETERS

A UV lamp is used with the MCO-19M(UVH)/MCO-19M(UV) or the MCO-19M with an MCO-19UVS UV

Lamp Expansion Kit installed. Use the following procedures to make the settings.

Using the UV lamp

A UV lamp is located inside the duct to sterilize the water in the humidifying pan and the air circulating in

the chamber. Observe the following points to use the UV lamp correctly.

z When all chamber attachments are installed correctly, only the inside of the duct and the inside of the

humidifying pan cover are exposed to UV light.

z Correctly install all of the chamber attachments when starting a cell culture, and never turn ON the UV

lamp when the humidifying pan cover is removed.

z Always install the humidifying pan cover even when using the Incubator without turning ON the UV

lamp. Leaving the cover uninstalled will affect the chamber temperature distribution and the humidity

recovery performance.

z The UV lamp stays lit for a preset period of time after the outer door is closed. The default setting is for

five minutes.

z If the outer door is not opened for at least 12 consecutive hours, the UV lamp will light for the preset

time period every 12 hours.

z The recommended replacement time for the UV lamp (i.e., when the UV output ratio drops to 60% to

70% of its initial value) is when the accumulated ON time reaches 1,000 hours. When the accumulated

ON time reaches approximately 1,000 hours, the “UV” will flash in the status display field on the LCD

panel (when the UV lamp is not lit). It is recommended that the UV lamp be quickly replaced at this point.

Consult a Sanyo sales representative or agent for information on replacing the UV lamp.

z If the UV lamp burns out, Err18:UV Lamp Abnormal will be displayed in the message display field. If

this occurs, replace the UV lamp. When replacing the UV lamp, replace the glow starter (type FG-7P) at

the same time. Consult a Sanyo sales representative or agent for information on replacing the UV lamp.

z If the UV lamp burns out (Err18:UV Lamp Abnormal will be displayed in the message display field), it

will not be possible to perform H₂O₂decontamination. Replace the UV lamp and the glow starter.

Precautions when using the UV lamp

WARNING

Do not look directly at UV light. UV light is harmful to the eyes.

z Always use the humidifying pan and humidifying pan cover.

The humidifying pan and cover prevent UV light from escaping. Always use them even when not

humidifying. To check whether the UV lamp is lit, open the outer door and then press the door switch with

the inner door still closed. Visible blue light can be confirmed from the front of the humidifying pan cover.

UV light is harmful to the eyes, so do not light the UV lamp when the inner door or humidifying pan cover

is open.

z Be careful when handling the UV lamp.

There is a UV lamp inside of the chamber duct. Be careful not to damage it when installing or removing

chamber attachments, the humidifying pan, or the H₂O₂Generator.

• The UV timer can be set from 0 to 30 min. The default setting is for 5 min. When the UV timer is set to

zero, the UV lamp will not light.

• If the outer door is opened while the UV lamp is lit, the lamp will turn OFF. Then, when the door is

closed, the lamp will light for the preset period of time.

• If the UV lamp ON time is set for longer than 10 minutes or if only the outer door is repeated opened

and closed, condensation may occur in the chamber and may affect temperature distribution. It will also

shorten the service life of the UV lamp.

• When replacing the UV lamp, consult with a Sanyo representative or agent.

Note: To compensate for the drop in UV ray output along with increased accumulated ON time of UV

lamp, the Incubator automatically extends the UV lamp ON time according to the accumulated ON time.

The automatically extended time is displayed as a percentage under UV Timer Ext. in the UV Setting

Screen.

Lighting the UV lamp for 24 hours

If the chamber has been contaminated by dirt or by spilling the medium, use the following procedure to

decontaminate the chamber by lighting the UV lamp for 24 hours.

1. Remove all attachments from the chamber, including the trays, tray supports, side supports, fan cover,

duct, fan, humidifying pan, humidifying pan cover, N₂or O₂gas injection nozzle, and. Clean all the

attachments in an autoclave or with disinfectant alcohol.

2. Clean and wipe off inside the chamber with disinfectant alcohol.

3. Set the CO₂density to 0% and O₂density to 20%. Set the UV 24h Mode to 1 on the UV Setting Display.

WATER LEVEL SENSOR

This Incubator is equipped with a water level sensor for the humidifying pan. The sensor is set

automatically when the humidifying pan is installed. Take care not to damage the sensor when removing

or installing the humidifying pan.

When the humidifying pan is removed (side view)

Sensor

Pan

When the humidifying pan is installed (side view)

Sensor

Pan

Note: Make sure that the humidifying pan is all the way to the back and that the sensor comes down

when you install the humidifying pan.

Note:

• Lift the sensor before installing the humidifying pan if the sensor is in the lower position after

maintenance.

• When installing the humidifying pan, make sure that the pan is set properly and that sensor comes down

into the pan. “RH PAN” will be displayed in reverse video in the status display field on LCD panel if the

sensor does not come down completely. If necessary, set the pan again in the proper location.

• The sensor detects the water level every 30 minutes and just after the outer door is closed. It takes

several seconds to detect the water level. Therefore, “RH PAN” may displayed in reverse video several

times in the status display field on LCD panel after the outer door is closed even when the humidifying pan

is full.

CAUTION

Foreign particles on the water surface can adhere to the water level sensor and fittings by capillary action

because the sensor is always in the water. The adhered foreign particles degrade sensor performance

and “RH PAN” may displayed in reverse video in the status display field on LCD panel even though there

is sufficient water in the humidifying pan. Be sure to wipe OFF any dirt on the water level sensor with

disinfectant alcohol whenever you change the humidifying water. When cleaning the sensor, take care

not to apply excessive force to the lead wires.

H₂O₂DECONTAMINATION

When the chamber has been contaminated, or when cleaning the chamber prior to starting a culture,

H₂O₂decontamination can be performed using the H₂O₂Generator.

z The following products must be purchased separately in order to perform H₂O₂decontamination. Before

performing H₂O₂decontamination, check to make sure that these are correctly installed.

• UV Lamp Expansion Kit (MCO-19UVS) (Not required for the MCO-19M(UV).)

• H₂O₂Decontamination Kit (MCO-HL)

• H₂O₂Generator (MCO-HP)

z The H₂O₂decontamination function decontaminates the chamber and the inner attachments. Do not

place any objects other than the specified attachments in the chamber during decontamination.

z Before performing H₂O₂decontamination, clean the chamber and the inner attachments with sterilizing

alcohol.

z The chamber temperature during H₂O₂decontamination reaches 45°C. Before performing H₂O₂

decontamination, set the upper limit temperature alarm to 50°C or higher.

z For the H₂O₂reagent, use one bottle of the H₂O₂Decontamination Reagent specified by Sanyo

(MCO-H202).

z After decontamination, dilute the residual H₂O₂Decontamination Reagent in the H₂O₂Generator with a

large quantity of water and dispose of it, and rinse with distilled water. (Do not wash either the inside or

outside of the H₂O₂Generator with alcohol.)

WARNING

Use the reagent specified by Sanyo for H₂O₂decontamination. Using a different H₂O₂solution may

cause explosion or damage to the Incubator, or insufficient decontamination.

Do not use chemicals other than the H₂O₂reagent, such as alcohol. Doing so may result in damage

to the H₂O₂Generator.

WARNING

When performing H₂O₂decontamination, make sure that gastight split doors, inner door and outer

door are securely closed. During H₂O₂decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon cap that is

provided. Failure to do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H₂O₂gas.

CAUTION

H₂O₂decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and chamber attachments with standard

specifications, and not for any other objects.

5. After the Select Tools Display is displayed, press MENU Key to display the menu, select Cancel, and

press the ENTER Key to return to the Top Display.

Note:

It is important to accurately measure the temperature inside the Incubator when calibrating the

temperature. Particularly, the temperature gauge used must have an accuracy of JIS 0.5 Class or better.

The temperature must be measured at several points.

The temperature setting can not change by more than ±1.0^oC during calibration. If these values are

exceeded, an error buzzer will sound, the input data will be ignored, and the Incubator will return to the

display mode. If it is necessary to change the temperature by more than 1.0^oC, perform calibration in

several stages over a period of time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the Incubator does not seem to be working properly, check the following items before calling for service.

Symptom

Items to check and countermeasures

• Is the Incubator plugged in?

The Incubator does not

operate at all.

• Is there a power outage, or has a circuit breaker interrupted the

power?

• Is the key lock function turned OFF?

The key is not working.

An alarm has occurred.

When starting operation:

• Does the chamber temperature match the set value?

• Does the CO₂/O₂gas concentration in the chamber match the set

value?

(1) Is the secondary pressure for the CO₂gas pressure regulator at the

specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm²G. 4.3 psiG)?

(2) Is the secondary pressure for the N₂/O₂gas pressure regulator at the

specified value of 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm²G, 7.1 psiG)?

(3) Is the gas tube properly connected?

During operation:

• Is the upper limit alarm temperature set at least 1°C higher than the

chamber set temperature?

• Has the temperature setting been changed? Has the door been left

open for a long time? Has a low-temperature object been placed in the

chamber? If any of these is the case, the alarm will be automatically

cleared if you wait.

• Has the gas tube come loose, or is there a gas leak?

• Has the CO₂/O₂gas concentration setting been changed?

• Is the gas cylinder empty? Check the primary pressure of the gas

cylinder once a week. (When the primary pressure is 3.8 MPa (38

kgf/cm²G) or lower, it is a sign that there is little gas remaining.

Replace the cylinder soon.)

• Is the ambient temperature less than 5°C different from the set value

for the chamber temperature?

The chamber temperature

does not match the set value.

• Is the outer door closed with the gastight split doors or inner door left

open?

• Is the secondary pressure for the CO₂gas pressure regulator at the

The gas concentration does

not match the set value.

specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm²G, 4.3 psiG)?

• Is the secondary pressure for the N₂/O₂gas pressure regulator at the

specified value of 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm²G, 7.1 psiG)?

• Is the gas tube blocked?

• Is there enough water in the humidifying pan? (Be sure to use sterile

distilled water.)

The chamber temperature

does not rise.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Symptom

Items to check and countermeasures

• Are the doors being frequently opened and closed?

A large quantity of gas is being

consumed.

• Check whether gas is leaking from connectors due to deterioration

of the gas tube, or whether there may be any pinhole leaks. The

gas tube is a replaceable part, and it is recommended that it be

replaced once a year.

• Is the packing seal for gastight split doors and inner door

defective?

• Is the access hole open?

• Is the ambient air environment around the Incubator normal? Is

there a source of polluted gas in the vicinity?

Normal cultures are not possible,

and the gas concentration is

suspect.

• A HEPA filter is used for the Incubator gas piping. If gas

concentration is slow to recover when the CO₂gas concentration is

normal, it is possible that the HEPA filter may be clogged. Consult a

Sanyo representative or agent.

The gas concentration is slow to

recover.

• Is there little gas remaining in the gas cylinder?

• Is the secondary pressure for the CO₂gas pressure regulator at the

specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm²G, 4.3 psiG)?

• Is the secondary pressure for the N₂/CO₂gas pressure regulator at

the specified value of 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm²G, 7.1 psiG)?

• Is the gas tube blocked?

• The control method for the Incubator is the ON-OFF method. Gas

is intermittently injected as the gas concentration in the chamber

approaches the set value. Injections may be stopped for periods of

approximately 60 seconds, but that is not an error.

The gas is not being injected.

The outer door does not open.

MCO-19M(UVH), or when the optional MCO-HL is installed:

• When the power is OFF, the electric lock is locked and the outer

door does not open. Either turn ON the power or use the accessory

unlock key to override the electric lock.

• During decontamination the outer door is electrically locked and

does not open.

• If the MCO-19M(UV)/19M is being used, is the optional MCO-HL

installed?

H₂O₂decontamination cannot be

performed.

• If the MCO-19M is being used, are the optional MCO-HL and

MCO-19UVS installed?

• Is the UV lamp burned out? If the UV lamp is burned out, H₂O₂

decontamination will not be possible.

• Is the H₂O₂Generator cable properly connected?

• Has the entire bottle of H₂O₂Decontamination Reagent been used?

• Has the upper limit temperature alarm been set to 50°C or higher?

Note: If the problem still has not been solved after trying the above checks and countermeasures, or for

any problems not covered here, contact a Sanyo representative or agent.

AUTOMATIC CO₂CYLINDER CHANGEOVER

An automatic CO₂cylinder changeover system (MCO-21GC) is available as an optional accessory. This

system switches the gas supply lines when one CO₂gas cylinder becomes empty.

Note: The installation of the MCO-21GC must be performed only by qualified service personnel.

Install the MCO-21GC and then perform the following procedure

1. Connect 2 gas tubes to connecting ports A/B for CO₂gas pipe. Connecting ports for CO₂gas pipes are

located on the left back of the Incubator. (Refer to page 9).

Note: Only port A can be used when the MCO-21GC is not installed. There will be 2 ports, ports A and B,

after the MCO-21GC is installed.

2. Connect a CO₂gas cylinder equipped with a gas pressure regulator to each gas tube. Refer to page 16

for information on connecting the gas cylinders. (“Gas cylinder A” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to

the connecting port A for CO₂gas pipe, and “gas cylinder B” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to the

connecting port B for N₂/O₂gas pipe.)

3. Open the valves of both gas cylinders.

4. The current CO₂gas supply line is displayed on the Top Display.

(“A” and “B” will be displayed only when the MCO-21GC is installed. Nothing will be displayed if

MCO-21GC is not installed.)

5. The MCO-21GC detects that there is no more CO₂gas in a cylinder when the CO₂density in the

chamber does not increase for a while even after opening the CO₂gas valve in the Incubator. It switches

the gas supply line when it detects that there is no more gas. At that time, the following indications of

switching the gas cylinder are provided.

6. When gas cylinder A is switched to B, remove gas cylinder A and replace it with new one.

Note: Be careful when handling the empty CO₂gas cylinder. Some gas may still be left in the cylinder.

●When gas cylinder B becomes empty, the line is switched to gas cylinder A again.

The MCO-21GC detects that there is no more CO₂gas in a cylinder when the CO₂density in the chamber

does not increase for a while even after opening the CO₂gas valve in the Incubator. The supply line may

also be switched for other reasons even though there is gas left in the cylinder: blocking or restricting of

gas tube, reduction of CO₂gas pressure, or improper opening of CO₂gas cylinder. Always check the gas

quantity in the cylinder before disconnecting it.

● Use the following procedure to manual switch the line between CO₂cylinders A and B (only when

MCO-21GC is installed). This procedure shows switching the line from CO₂cylinder B to A as an

example.

AUTOMATIC CO₂AND O₂DENSITY CALIBRATION

To calibrate the CO₂and O₂density, a Semi-automatic one point Gas Calibration Kit (MCO-SG) is available.

By connecting a standard gas cylinder that has a density that is the same as the set CO₂and O₂density

(usually 5% CO₂and 5% O₂), the CO₂sensor and O₂sensor can be calibrated to maintain the accuracy of

the CO₂and O₂density display as necessary.

STACKING INCUBATORS

Use the following procedure to stack Incubators. This work is potentially dangerous, so contact a Sanyo

representative or agent.

CAUTION

• Select a floor that is strong enough to support the stacked incubators.

• Never stack three or more incubators. Doing so is dangerous.

1. Take out two stacking plates A, two stacking plates B, four protective stickers, and four screws from

accessory bag.

Note:

When stacking two incubators, use two stacking plates (A and B) for each one. Only one pair of

stacking plates is provided per incubator, so take out the stacking plates (A and B) from both incubators.

Similarly only 2 protective stickers are provided per incubator

2. Unplug both of the Incubators that are to be stacked.

3. Remove the caps at the two places in the front of the top surface of the Incubator that is to be on the

bottom, attach the protective stickers to the four corners on the top surface of the Incubator that is to be

on the bottom. (See Fig. A.)

4. Secure stacking plate A with the screws that are provided.

5. Remove the front panel (5 screws) from the Incubator that is to be on the top.

6. Place the upper Incubator on top of the lower one, being careful not to pinch your fingers.

7. Make the lower Incubator level by adjusting the legs, and then level the upper Incubator in the same

way.

8. Secure the stacking plate A fixed to the lower incubator to the upper Incubator with the accessory

screws.

9. Remove from the back of the lower Incubator the two hooks (4 screws) and remove from the upper

Incubator the 2 screws on the lower rear panel.

10. Use the 6 screws that were removed in step 9 to secure stacking plate B to the rear panels of the

upper and lower Incubators.

11. Replace the front panel (5 screws) to the upper Incubator.

12. Use the hooks on the back of the upper Incubator to prevent the Incubators from falling over.
