AUTOMATIC CO2 CYLINDER CHANGEOVER

An automatic switcher for the CO2 gas supply lines (MCO-21GC) is available as an optional accessory. This kit switches the gas supply lines when one CO2 gas 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 the CO2 gas pipes to ports A and B. Connecting ports for CO2 gas pipes are located on the left back of the Incubator. (Refer to page 8).㩷 㩷

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 CO2 gas cylinder equipped with a gas pressure regulator to each gas pipe. Refer to page 14 for information on connecting the gas cylinders. (“Gas cylinder A” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to the CO2 gas pipe connected to port A, and “gas cylinder B” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to the CO2

gas pipe connected to port B.)

3.Open the valves of both gas cylinders.

4.The current CO2 gas 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 CO2 gas in a cylinder when the CO2 density in the chamber does not increase for a while even after opening the CO2 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.
