460 SERIES, WATER-JACKETED MODELS, FILLING WITH WATER:
Capacity of the water jacket is 10.7 gallons/40.5 liters of water. Fill the
jacket only with distilled water. For optimum Incubator life, use a distilled water
with an electrical resistivity of 500,000 ohms to 1 MEG ohm maximum, as
measured between opposite faces of a centimeter cube of an aqueous solution
per ASTM D 1125-82.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING 18 MEG OHM DEIONIZED WATER.
If
this is the only source of treated water available, mix with regular tap water to
dilute to 1 MEG ohm maximum.
As a protection against the growth of fungi, a quality fungicide can be added
according to the use ratio, parts compound versus capacity of water jacket, of the
selected compound. Follow manufacturer’s instructions completely.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE WATER CHAMBER, DO NOT
ADD WATER AT A HIGH FLOW RATE OR AT HIGH PRESSURE.
CAUTION:
AIR VENT FOR WATER-JACKET IS SMALL PIPE ON THE LEFT
HAND SIDE OF THE BACK OF THE UNIT AND MUST BE KEPT FREE OF ALL
OBSTRUCTIONS TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE. THE INCUBATOR CHAMBER
CAN BE DAMAGED FROM PRESSURE BUILD-UP FROM EXPANSION AND
CONTRACTION DURING HEATING AND COOLING CYCLES.
