FYRITE CO2 CHECKING
A Bacharach FYRITE CO2 Gas Analyzer is recommended to measure CO2 concentrations
in the incubator chamber. This test instrument is not supplied with the incubator but is
readily available from your dealer. Follow the instructions provided with the Fyrite
instrument carefully to insure correct and accurate readings.
1. Press button on top of Fyrite canister to release CO2 concentration. Tip canister
to the side to ensure all fluid is released from the top of canister.
2. Loosen screw on slide scale and align top of fluid with zero on the scale. Tighten
screw.
3. Connect hose and aspirator bulb to unit being tested. The sample port for
connection is located in the upper front corner of the right side of the incubator.
4. Place the hose sampling cap directly over the plunger valve on top of canister
and depress firmly.
5. With button depressed, squeeze bulb 27 times. On the last squeeze and with
bulb still deflated, release hose from button.
6. Turn Fyrite canister upside down 3 times, each time allowing all fluid to flow to
the opposite end of the canister.
7. Tip canister to the 45 degree position to ensure all fluid has been released from
top of canister.
8. Read CO2 concentration in %.
NOTE: Your Fyrite indicator will come with a complete set of detailed instructions
which should be followed carefully. The fluid used inside this Fyrite instrument is
poisonous and corrosive and must not be taken internally. In event of a spill or
accidental body contact with the Fyrite fluid, follow instructions on the refill bottle
carefully.
