Sanyo CO2 Incubator Installation and Safety Guidelines

Page 13

INSTALLATION SITE

For correct operation of the Incubator, install it in a location with the following conditions.

WARNING

When using CO2 gas for control, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Using CO2 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.

Si l’appareil est utilisé dans un evdroit restreint, le niveau de la densite CO2 de l’air peut s’élever et peut être nocif aux humains. Evitez d’aspirer l’air provenant de l’inérieur de l’appareil quand vous ouverz la porte.

zNormal air environment

Install the Incubator in an environment with normal air.

zDo not expose to direct sunlight

Do not install the Incubator in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. If the Incubator is operated in direct sunlight, performance will be adversely affected.

zSeparate from heat sources

Do not install the Incubator near significant heat sources, such as heaters, boilers, ovens, or autoclaves. Heat will adversely affect the performance of the Incubator.

zAmbient temperature at least 5θC lower than set temperature

The control temperature of the Incubator is at least 5θC higher than the ambient temperature. For example, if the chamber is controlled at 37θC, the ambient temperature must normally be no more than 32θC. Do not allow the ambient temperature to become too high.

zStrong and level floor

Select a site with a strong and level floor. If the floor is uneven or the installation is not level, the Incubator will be unstable and this may cause accident or injury. To avoid vibration and noise, always make sure that the installation is stable. An unstable surface may result in vibration or noise.

WARNING

Install the Incubator at a location that can support the weight. If the floor is not strong enough or if the

installation is insufficient, the Incubator may fall over and cause injury.

Always make sure that the floor is strong, even, and level, and that the Incubator will not tip over.

An insufficient installation may result in injury due to water leakage or the Incubator falling over.

zLow humidity

Select a site with a relative humidity of 80% 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.

Never install the Incubator in a moist location, such as near a sink or water line, or where it is likely to be exposed to water. In addition, do not install it near water or steam pipes. Moisture can

cause the insulation to deteriorate, which may result in current leakage or electric shock.

zNo inflammable or corrosive gas

Never install the Incubator in a location where it will be exposed to inflammable or corrosive gas. Doing so may result in explosion or fire. In addition, insulation may deteriorate due to corrosion of protective casing, resulting in current leakage or electric shock.

zNo falling objects

Do not install the Incubator in a location where there is the possibility of objects falling from above. Doing so may result in damage or accident.
