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

The Incubator does not

ξ Is the Incubator plugged in?

operate at all.

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

 

 

power?

 

 

The key is not working.

ξ Is the key lock function turned OFF?

 

 

An alarm has occurred.

When starting operation:

 

ξ Does the chamber temperature match the set value?

 

ξ Does the CO2 gas concentration in the chamber match the set value?

 

(1) Is the secondary pressure for the CO2 gas pressure regulator at the

 

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

 

(2) Is the CO2 gas supply pipe properly connected?

 

During operation:

 

ξ Is the upper limit alarm temperature set at least 1θC higher than the

 

chamber set temperature?

 

ξ 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.

 

ξ Has the CO2 gas supply pipe come loose, or is there a gas leak?

 

ξ Has the CO2 gas concentration setting been changed?

 

ξ 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.)

ξ Check whether gas is leaking from connectors due to deterioration of

 

 

the CO2 gas supply pipe, or whether there may be any pinhole leaks.

 

The CO2 gas supply pipe is a replaceable part, and it is recommended

 

that it be replaced once a year.

 

ξ Is the packing seal for the inner door defective?

 

ξ Is the access hole open?
