7.4 Electrical
The electrical supply circuit to the Incubator must conform to all national and local electrical codes.
Consult the serial-data plate, located at the front of the right side of the Incubator, for voltage, cycle,
phase, and ampere requirements before making connection. Plug the power cord securely into a grounded
power source. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL PLATE
RATINGS. Have a qualified technician check with the power source with a properly rated volt meter if
needed. A separate branch circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading
or failure of other equipment on the same circuit. A SURGE PROTECTOR IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED to avoid power-related faults.
7.5 CO
2
Connection
High concentrations of CO
2
gas can cause asphyxiation! Install Incubator in well ventilated area.
This Incubator is designed to be operated with CO
2
gas only. Connecting a flammable or toxic gas can
result in a hazardous condition. Gases other than CO
2
should not be connected to this equipment. CO
2
gas cylinders have a UN1013 label on the cylinder and are equipped with a CGA 320 outlet valve. Check
the gas cylinder for the proper identification labels.
Do not use CO
2
gas cylinders equipped with siphon tubes. A siphon tube is used to extract liquid CO
2
from the cylinder which can damage the pressure regulator. Consult with your gas supplier to ensure that
the CO
2
cylinder does no contain a siphon tube.
7.5.1 CO
2
Tube Connection
Included with the incubator are a tubing kit consisting of 1(six foot 2m) vinyl tube and 1 (51mm)
polypropylene 0.3 micron HEPA filter.
7.5.2 CO
2
Supply
1. CO
2
of medical grade is recommended.
2. A two-stage pressure regulator, Linde# 19590, or equal, is recommended.
3. DO NOT USE a single stage regulator. It will not give a stable output at 20 psi and exposes
the Incubator to the gas cylinder pressure.
