2 (or O2) gas cylinder changeover
This incubator switches the gas supply lines when one N2 (or O2) gas cylinder becomes empty.
Note: An automatic switcher for the CO2 gas supply lines (MCO-21GC) is available as an optional
accessory.
Perform the following procedure
1. Connect 2 gas tubes to connecting ports A/B for N2/O2 gas pipe. Connecting ports A/B for N2/O2 gas
pipes are located on the left back of the Incubator. (Refer to page 9).
2. Connect a N2 (or O2) gas cylinder equipped with a gas pressure regulator to each gas tube. Refer to
page 17 for information on connecting the gas cylinders. (“Gas cylinder A” is the N2 (or O2) gas cylinder
connected to the connecting port A for N2/O2 gas pipe, and “gas cylinder B” is the N2 (or O2) gas cylinder
connected to the connecting port B for N2/O2 gas pipe.)
3. Open the valves of both gas cylinders.
4. The current N2 (or O2) gas supply line is displayed on the Top Display.
5. The incubator detects that there is no more N2 (or O2) gas in a cylinder when the O2 density in the
chamber does not increase for a while even after opening the N2/O2 gas 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.
