Heating the Compartment Floor

To stop the oxygen flow, press the oxygen on/off switch. The light in the switch goes out and oxygen flow to the animal compartment ceases. If it was On, the system light goes out.

To control the oxygen flow rate to the animal compartment, refer to Controlling Oxygen Flow Rate on Page 56. To control oxygen pressure, refer to Controlling Oxygen Pressure on Page 56.

With the clear acrylic divider panel in place, it takes about 20- minutes to bring the right animal compartment to an oxygen concen- tration of 40%. Without the clear divider panel, it takes about 30- minutes to bring the full compartment to 40%.

CAUTION: When using oxygen, all four access knobs on the filter/fans compartment must be firmly locked to prevent oxygen leakage from the animal compartment.

The floor of the animal compartment contains separate heaters for the left and right sides to provide localized heat control when the compart- ment is divided into two half-compartments.Two sets of floor heat controls are provided for the left and right heating units. Each set consists of an on/off button, a system light, a temperature controller, and a digital display.To heat the entire compartment floor, turn both left and right heaters On.To provide heat to the compartment:
