When the CO
2
density level remains unchanged, even though the CO
2
gas valve in the unit is opened, the
unit regards the present connecting CO
2
gas cylinder as an empty. The CO
2
gas supply line is changed
over automatically. These movements are displayed (Table. 4).
1. When CO
2
gas is remaining in CO
2
gas cylinder A, the unit operates with CO
2
gas supplied from CO
2
gas cylinder A (Situation 1 on table 4).
2. When CO
2
gas cylinder A is empty, the level of CO
2
density in the unit does not increase because CO
2
gas is not supplied into the unit even though CO
2
gas valve in the unit is open (Situation 2 on table 4).
3. When the Situation 2 continues for 2 to 3 minutes, CO
2
gas supply line is changed over automatically by
regarding CO
2
gas cylinder as an empty. At this time, CO
2
gas empty alarm is activated, the buzzer sounds,
and CO
2
gas supply indicator A is displayed in reverse video and blinks (Situation 3 on table 4).
4. CO
2
gas empty alarm is released by pressing Buzzer key. The reverse video is put the light off (Situation
4 on table 4).
5. Exchange the empty CO
2
gas cylinder A into a new one immediately after the Situation 4 (Situation 5 on
table 4).
6. When CO
2
gas cylinder B is empty, it changes into CO
2
gas cylinder A.
Table 4 CO
2
gas supply line automatic changeover
(e.g.) When CO
2
gas cylinder A is empty, it changes over CO
2
gas cylinder B.

Note:
・When the Buzzer key is not pressed in the Situation 4 and the CO
2
gas cylinder B gets empty without the
CO
2
gas cylinder A being replaced in the Situation 5, the operation of switch between CO
2
gas supply line
A and B will be repeated. In this case, replace the both CO
2
gas cylinders, A and B, and press the Buzzer
key immediately.
・The changeover of CO
2
gas cylinder is judged by an increase of CO
2
density in the chamber. In case that
the gas tube is clogged, the gas is leaking, the gas pressure is dropped down, or the level of valve open for
CO
2
gas cylinder is not enough, etc, the changeover of CO
2
gas cylinder may be done even though the
CO
2
gas cylinder being used is not empty.
