2
(Art. No. 8012-0016).
The connection kit includes the following parts for connecting a gas cylinder
to the CO
2
incubator:
• Pressure reducer with manometers for cylinder pressure (high pressure
gauge) and outlet pressure (low pressure gauge)
• 5 m pressure hose with pre-
assembled hose nozzle for quick acting
closure socket
• 1 hose clamp to connect the gas hose to the pressure reducer

Instructions 7001-0249 included with the connection kit describe connecting and setting
the gas cylinder connection kit.
NOTICE
Danger of damage by excessive outlet pressure > 2.5 bar / 36 psi.
Damage to the chamber.
∅ The outlet pressure must NOT exceed the indicated value of 2.5 bar / 36 psi.
Before connecting, check the outlet pressure on the pressure reducer of the cylinder.
Adjust the outlet pressure to 2.0 bar / 29 psi above the ambient pressure.
The gas connections must be established by qualified personnel who are trained in handling
the respective gases and familiar with the required safety measures.
4.5 CBF / CBF-UL: Water supply and dehumidification
4.5.1 General remarks on water supply
4.5.1.1 Water supply
Freshwater is supplied by manually filling a freshwater bag (tubular bag set, standard, can be reordered)
or a freshwater can (optional water container set). It is also possible to connect prefilled water bottles
(optional humidification water set). It is not possible to connect the chamber directly to a water pipe.
The freshwater bag has a volume of 0.9 liters / 0.32 cu.ft. and is placed behind the chamber door in a
recess.
To guarantee humidification during 24 hours even at high humidity set-points and / or
frequent door openings, we recommend checking the freshwater bag daily at the end of the
day.
When the freshwater can is empty, the message “Freshwater supply” will be displayed on the controller,
the buzzer sounds, and the humidification module turns off. After acknowledging the alarm, the
humidification module tries to fill up and start operating.
