Installation and Set-Up

The humidity reservoir will require approximately three cups (0.710 liter)
of water on the initial filling. For best operation of the incubator, sterilized
distilled, demineralized or de-ionized water should be used in the humidity
reservoir. Water purity should be in the resistance range of 50K to 1M
Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of 20.0 to 1.0 uS/cm. Refer to ASTM
Standard D5391-93 or D4195-88 for measuring water purity.
Distillation systems, as well as some types of reverse osmosis water purity
systems, can produce water in the quality range specified. Tap water is not
recommended as it may contain chlorine, which can deteriorate the
stainless steel. Tap water may also have a high mineral content, which
would produce a build-up of scale in the reservoir. High purity, ultra pure
or milli-q water is not recommended as it is an extremely aggressive solvent
and will deteriorate the stainless steel. High purity water has a resistance of
above 1M to 18M Ohm. Even high purity water can contain bacteria and
organic contaminants. Water should always be sterilized or treated with a
decontaminant, safe for use with stainless steel as well as safe for the
product, prior to being introduced into the humidity reservoir.
Caution
Distilled or de-ionized water used in the humidity reservoir must
be within a water quality resistance range of 50K to 1M Ohm/cm to
protect and prolong the life of the stainless steel. Use of water outside the
specified range will decrease the operating life of the unit and may void
warranty.

The water inlet is the 1/8” FPT connection located on the rear top center
of the incubator. A 1/4” hose fitting is provided for a hose connection, if
desired. Water inlet pressure must not exceed 40 PSI. A manual shut-off
valve should be installed between the main water supply and the incubator.
Caution
To prevent mineral buildup on humidity generator walls, it may
be necessary to clean the humidity generator with a non-metallic abrasive
pad and flush thoroughly every two to three months. Refer to Section 4,
Cleaning the Humidity Steam Generator.
