concentration is slow to recover when the CO2 gas concentration is

 

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

 

Sanyo representative or agent.

 

ξ Is there little gas remaining in the CO2 gas cylinder?

 

ξ Is the secondary pressure for the CO2 gas pressure regulator at the

 

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

 

ξ Is the CO2 gas supply pipe blocked?

 

 

CO2 gas is not being injected.

ξ The CO2 control method for the Incubator is the ON-OFF method.

 

CO2 gas is intermittently injected as the gas concentration in the

 

chamber approaches the set value. Injections may be stopped for

 

periods of approximately 15 seconds, but that is not an error.

 

 

The outer door does not open.

When the optional MCO-HL is installed:

 

ξ 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.

 

ξ During decontamination the outer door is electrically locked and

 

does not open.

ξ If the MCO-19AIC is being used, are the optional MCO-HL and

 

MCO-19UVS installed?

 

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

 

decontamination will not be possible.

 

ξ Is the H2O2 Generator cable properly connected?

 

ξ Has the entire bottle of H2O2 Decontamination Reagent been used?

 

ξ Has the upper limit temperature alarm been set to 50θC 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.
