√SHIPPING CARTON:
This should be inspected upon delivery. When received, carefully
examine for any shipping damage before unpacking. If damage is discovered,
the delivering carrier should both specify and sign for the damage on your copy
of the delivery receipt.
Open the carton carefully making certain that all parts are accounted for
before packaging materials are discarded—after unpacking, if damage is found,
promptly report it to the carrier and request a damage inspection promptly.
IMPORTANT: Failure to request an inspection of damage within a few
days after receipt of shipment absolves the carrier from any liability for damage:
you must call for a damage inspection promptly.
LOCATION:
Place the unit where it will be used, away from external vibration sources,
drafts and wide variations in ambient temperature. To prevent damaging the
tubing, allow at least 3” (8 cm) between the back of the incubator and wall.
Choose a location near a power supply that matches the unit nameplate
requirements.
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH CO2 ONLY. DO NOT
USE WITH ANY OTHER GASES. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE
PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE AND SERIOUS
INJURY AND/OR DEATH AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
120 VAC models require a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. They are
supplied with a 3-wire line cord. It should be plugged into an outlet designed for
3-prong plugs. If an extension cord is used, it also should be the 3-wire grounded
type. For an outlet designed to accept 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), it is
required that a qualified electrician replace the outlet with a new grounded type.
240 VAC models require a 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Because of
the variety of plug configurations in use worldwide for 240 VAC power, the unit is
furnished with the plug removed. The user must install a plug to conform with
local code and configuration requirements.
NOTE: LEAVE UNIT DISCONNECTED WHEN NOT IN USE.
HUMIDIFICATION, 314/316 SERIES AUTOMATIC CO2 INCUBATORS:
The chamber is designed in such a way that a cold spot is formed causing
moisture that is present in the chamber atmosphere to condensate. The
condensation is diverted into a humidity trough that is attached to the rear wall of
the chamber. Distilled water is not necessary to add since this water will be
recirculated throughout the chamber.
WARNING: While the addition of a fungicide to the water will assist in controlling
contaminant, it may also affect the results of experiments conducted with cells,
viruses and other materials. These factors should be taken into account when
deciding whether or not to use a fungicide.
