15.3 Disinfection of the CO
2
sensor
To ensure complete disinfection and proper function of the sensor, BINDER recommends a wipe disinfec-
tion of the sensor head with pure alcohol or non-corrosive alcohol-based surface disinfectants. The disin-
fectant must be non-corrosive and free of chlorine or any acid. We recommend using the disinfectant Art.
No. 1002-0022. Avoid strong shocks when handling the CO
2
sensor.
CAUTION
Excess temperature.
Immersion of sensor into liquids.
Shocks of the CO
2
sensor.
Damage to the CO
2
sensor.
∅ Do NOT immerse the CO
2
sensor into liquids.
∅ Do NOT expose the CO
2
sensor to autoclaving.
∅ Do NOT expose the CO
2
sensor to hot-air sterilization.
Avoid strong shocks of the CO
2
sensor (by putting it down hard, or dropping).
We recommend regular disinfection of the CO
2
sensor.
CAUTION
Connecting or removing the CO
2
sensor during operation.
Damage to the CO
2
sensor.
Connect or remove the CO
2
sensor only with the unit turned off.
Recommended procedure:
• Turn off the unit
• Pull out the sensor
• Spray the sensor head with alcohol or wipe it clean with a soaked cloth. Observe the reaction time of
the disinfectant used.
• Before reinserting the CO
2
sensor, it must be completely dry.
• The filter in the front of the sensor only needs replacing when damaged or dirty.
The CO
2
sensor head was especially adjusted for the specific chamber. To avoid confusion, an adhesive
label with a serial number is adhered to the sensor head. When exchanging the sensor, repeat CO
2
ad-
justment.
CAUTION
Different CO
2
sensor.
Invalid calibration.
∅ Do NOT change the CO
2
sensor head.
Write down the serial number of the CO
2
sensor.
