2.3.3 CO
2
Supply
With the TCO upgrade the Operetta's side panel is extended by a CO
2
connection. The
tubing has to be connected to your CO
2
supply.
Danger!
Carbon Dioxide Gas
In high concentration, carbon dioxide is harmful to health. Depending
on the concentration it can lead to headache, tiredness, and
dizziness, in higher concentrations even to unconciousness,
spasms, and death. Carbon dioxide is hardly perceptible.
l
If carbon dioxide control has been activated and you open the
Live Cell Chamber, wait 10 seconds before bending over the
instrument to avoid unnecessary inhalation of the CO
2
gas.
l
The customer has to install a pressure controller which provides
the required carbon dioxide working pressure of 3 bar. Lower
pressures can lead to malfunctions, higher pressures could
destroy the instrument. See the Operetta Site Readiness
Instructions for a connection diagram.
Danger!
Carbon Dioxide Gas – Supply Tubing
l
Do not expose the tubing to any mechanical or thermal stress.

l
If the tubing has to be laid on the floor, provide a corresponding
protection to prevent people from stumbling or stepping on the
tubing.
l
Do not lay the tubing close to radiators or other heated objects.
l
Do not expose the tubing to direct sunlight.
l
Check the tubing for damages each time before using carbon
dioxide control.

supply tubing. Contact PerkinElmer to request a new tubing.
l
Do not manipulate the carbon dioxide tubing or fitting.
l
The tubing may only be shortened using an approved hose
cutter.
