Prevention of contamination In servicing for CO incubator, it is important to prevent from contamination. 1 More than 90% of contamination in CO incubator is caused by mold. Mold is a kind of true fungi, it has high increasing power under high temperature and high humidity. Accordingly, it is easy for mold to increase inside CO incubator.
Mechanism for Double wavelength IR sensor Infrared ray Chamber Contrast wavelength IR sensor CO2 measured wavelength IR sensor 4.3μm Measured wavelength: 4.0μm Measured wavelength: Double wavelength (4.0 m adding to 4.3 m) can be measured simultaneously in this IR sensor. Higher accuracy can be obtained by comparing both of measured wavelengths constantly in the same temperature condition.

Remote alarm terminal The remote alarm terminal is located at the rear right side of the incubator. Remote alarm terminal The alarm is outputted from this terminal. Contact capacity is DC 30 V, 2 A. Contact output: between COM. and N.O. between COM.
INSTALLATION SITE For correct operation of the Incubator, install it in a location with the following conditions. WARNING When using CO gas for control, make sure that there is adequate ventilation. Using CO gas in a small room without adequate ventilation may cause gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation. In addition, when opening the Incubator doors, do not directly inhale the air in the chamber.
INSTALLATION 1. Remove the packing tape and clean up. Remove all the tape that is securing the doors and inner attachments. Open the doors for ventilation. If the outer panels are dirty, dampen a cloth with a diluted neutral detergent and wipe them. (Using an undiluted solution may damage the plastic.
1. Use a liquefied CO gas cylinder (at least 99.5% pure). The siphon (dip tube) type cannot be used. 2. Install the Gas Pressure Regulator (MCO-100L, purchased separately) specified by Sanyo on the CO gas cylinder. Otherwise, use a CO...
Connection of N (or O ) gas cylinder WARNING Check the gas type and ensure that it is fit for the purpose. Make sure that all pipes are connected correctly and are not liable to become disconnected. Ensure that the gas pressure is set at the specified value.
Connection of gas injection nozzle In the case of control of O density in the chamber, connect the gas injection nozzle to the gas injection port by using the connecting pipe enclosed (inner diameter; 5 mm, outer diameter; 9 mm, length; 400 mm).
PREVENTING CONTAMINATION To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site. Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity. Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in the air. Avoid locations with passers-by or drafts. Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where passers-by or drafts can facilitate the entry of microorganisms into the chamber.
Always open and close the doors gently. Closing the doors forcefully may cause spillage of the culture medium, incomplete closing, or damage to the gasket. Before opening the inner door, check through the glass to confirm that the UV lamp is OFF (if the MCO-19M(UVH)/19M(UV) or the optional MCO-19UVS is installed).
Using the Unlock Key Unlocking when power is interrupted If power is interrupted to the MCO-19M(UVH)/19M(UV) with an MCO-HL installed, the outer door is electrically locked. To unlock the outer door while the power is interrupted, use the unlock key that is provided.
LCD PANEL The following display (called the Top Display) will appear when the power switch is turned ON. The default temperature is 37.0 C, the default CO density is 0% and the default O density is 20%. The date and time are preset at the factory. Refer to page 38 to change the date and time.
