4. Figure 1-8 shows a shelf channel
installed on pilasters on the right
side of the chamber.
5. Slide the shelves in, side flanges
upward, along the channels into the
chamber.
Note: A Soft-Stop indicates the pullout limit
to prevent shelf tipping when fully extend-
ed.
e. Installing the Access Port Filter Assembly
1. Locate the opening in the top left corner on the inside of
the chamber. Remove the tape covering the opening on
the outside of the unit.
2. Install the the stopper assembly into the opening inside
the chamber. See Figure 1-9. Make sure the arrow on the
filter is pointing to the back wall of the chamber.
Filter MUST be installed inside the chamber or it
will become plugged with condensation and inhibit
the recovery of the RH system. Do not replace this
filter with a solid cover of any kind.
f. Installing the HEPA Filter
Use caution when handling the filter. The media
can be damaged if it is mishandled.
To avoid damage to the incubator, do not operate
the unit without the HEPA filter in place.
1. Remove the filter from the shipping box.
2. Remove the plastic covering from the filter, using cau-
tion not to touch the filter media.
3. Loosen black wingnuts in front corners of the chamber
ceiling (Figure 1-10/1-11).
4. Locate the metal lip at the upper back of the chamber.
Hook the HEPA filter carefully over the back edge of the
metal lip.
5. Lift the front of the filter to the ceiling of the chamber.
Push filter bracket back over the filter frame. Tighten the
wingnuts.
6. Refer to Section 6.4 for HEPA filter maintenance.
g. Leveling the Unit
Check for level by placing a bubble-style level on one of
the shelves. Turn the hex nut on the leveling feet counterclock-
wise to lengthen the leg or clockwise to shorten it. Level the
unit front-to-back and left-to-right.
h. Connecting the Unit to Electrical Power
See the serial tag on the side of the unit for electrical speci-
fications or refer to the electrical schematics in this manual.
The serial tag amp rating is based on the amper-
age draw during the sterilization cycle. Normal
operating amperage is much less. Ensure that the
electrical circuit will handle the amp draw of the
sterilization cycle.
