All T/C CO2 cells are calibrated at the factory at 37°C, high humidity, and
10% CO
2. Therefore, if a temperature setpoint of 37°C has been entered,
the humidity pan has been filled and the CO
2 control is to run between 0-
10% with a T/C CO
2 sensor, the CO2 setpoint may be entered
immediately. Otherwise, it is important to allow the unit 12 hours to
stabilize at the temperature setpoint before entering the CO
2 setpoint.
All models of the incubator have a CO
2 setpoint range of 0.0% to 20.0%.
The incubator is shipped from the factory with a CO
2 setpoint of 0.0%.
At this setting, all CO
2 control and alarms are turned off. To change the
CO
2 setpoint:
1. Press the Mode key until the Set indicator lights.
2. Press the right arrow until “CO2 XX.X” is displayed in the message
center.
3. Press the up/down arrows until the desired CO
2 setpoint is displayed.
4. Press Enter to save the setpoint.
5. Press the Mode key until the Run indicator lights to go to Run mode
or press the right/left arrow keys to go to next/previous parameter.
