LARM
Audible and visual deviation alarms activate if the incubation chamber CO
2
concentration deviates by 1% above or below the CO
2
setpoint. The low deviation
audible alarm has a delay of 15 minutes to prevent the low alarm from sounding
each time the doors are opened, causing a short-lived drop in CO
2
concentration.
To mute a CO
2
deviation alarm:
Press and hold either the
Up
or
Down
arrow button on the CO
2
Control until the amber Mute LED illuminates and the audible alarm
shuts off.
•
The audible alarm will remain muted for the duration of the
current CO
2
deviation.
•
The visual alarm indicator will remain illuminated.
•
Any
new
deviation of ±1% or greater will reactivate the
audible alarm.

The alarm will remain active, even if the incubator is turned off and back on.
•
The NGS alarm remains on until CO
2
is restored to the chamber. It may take 2 or more
minutes of CO
2
injections to establish a concentration high enough to deactivate the alarm.
