VWR International

Section 1

Installation ans Start-Up

Air Sample Filter

Installation

1.   Remove the filter from the

shipping bag.

2.   Install the air sample filter

assembly to the black hose
barb behind the top duct.

3.   Insert the other end of the

filter assembly onto the
metal tubing on the top
duct. Refer to the Figure
1-18.

Caution

Be careful when 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. 

s

1.   Remove the filter from the shipping box. 

2.   Remove the plastic coating from the filter, using caution not to touch

the filter media.

3.   Install the filter as shown in Figure 1-18. Refer to Section 5 for HEPA

filter maintenance.

Caution

The media of the filter can be damaged if mishandled.  

To avoid damage to the incubator, do not operate the unit without the
HEPA filter in place. 

s

Check the unit for being level by placing a bubble-style level on one of the
shelves. Turn the hex nut on the leveler counterclockwise to lengthen the
leg or clockwise to shorten it. Level the unit front-to-back and left-to-
right.

See the serial tag on the side of the unit for electrical specifications or refer
to the electrical schematics at the end of this manual.  

Caution

Serial tag rating is based on amperage draw during sterilization

cycle. Normal operating amperage is much less. Ensure that electrical
circuit will handle amp draw of sterilization cycle.
Connect the incubator to a grounded, dedicated circuit. The power cord
connector is the mains disconnect device for the incubator. Position the
unit so that it can be easily disconnected.
