In the case of biological incubators, biological safety with regard to the protection of
persons, its surroundings and the load is heavily dependent on the observance of the
applicable regulations by the persons using the equipment.
Even then, however, the possibility of hazards, especially health hazards, arising cannot be
ruled out.
The residual risk depends on the work performed in each individual case.
To avoid errors and causing damage, especially personal injuries, be sure to carefully read
this manual before putting the equipment into operation, and follow all instructions.
Safe and reliable operation of the unit can only be guaranteed if the necessary inspections,
maintenance and repair work are carried out by Heraeus Service Department personnel or
by personnel authorized by our company.
Gas is to be supplied to each unit by means of a pressure reducer with the inlet pressure
set to between 0.8 and max. 1 bar. This setting must not be changed for safety reasons
(FRG: ZH 1/119).
The place of installation must be thoroughly ventilated in order to expel the gases escaping
around the pressure relief valve to the outside.
To maintain the temperature protection function, the functioning of the overtemperature
protection device, temperatur limit controller must be checked at reasonable intervals.
Only original replacement parts authorized by the manufacturer are to be used.
Refer to the Appendix titled "BASIC RULES OF SOUND MICROBIOLOGICAL ENGINEER-
ING PRACTICE".
