 When a ground must be installed
If a grounded 3-pole outlet is not available, then a ground must
be installed. Consult with qualified service personnel.
Leveling feet
WARNING
To prevent electric shock, always ground the incubator. If grounding is not possible, then have a ground
installed by qualified personnel. If the incubator is not grounded, it may result in electric shock.
Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone ground wire.
Doing so may cause electric shock.
 Installing a ground fault circuit breaker
If using the incubator in the location with moisture or humidity cannot be avoided, then it is recommended
that a ground fault circuit breaker be installed in the power supply circuit (i.e., the power supply at the
incubator). Have the circuit breaker installed by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
Do not climb on the incubator or place objects on top of it. Doing so may damage it or cause it to fall
over, resulting in injury. If it is to be stacked, refer to page 63 and stack it securely.
 When the incubator is not in use
Empty the water from the humidifying pan and remove moisture from the chamber. Make sure that the
chamber is completely dry before closing the doors. Failure to do so may result in damage.
 Before moving the incubator
Before moving the incubator, empty the water from the humidifying pan, disconnect the power supply plug
from the outlet, and make sure that the cord will not be damaged. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock or fire.
13
INSTALLATION
Connecting a CO2 gas cylinder
WARNING
When connecting a gas cylinder to the incubator, confirm the gas type. Confirm that the connections
are secure and that no gas will escape. Be sure to use the specified pressure. Using an incorrect
gas or pressure may result in explosion or fire, or in gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation due to escaping
gas.
Install the incubator in a location with adequate ventilation. If adequate ventilation cannot be
provided, then install an alarm system using CO2 and O2 densitometers.
1. Use a liquefied CO2 gas cylinder (at least 99.5 % pure). The siphon (dip tube) type cannot be used.
2. Install a gas regulator rated at 25 MPa(G) (250 kgf/cm2(G), 3600 psi(G)) for the primary side, and 0.2
MPa(G) (2 kgf/cm2(G), 30 psi(G)) for the secondary side.
3. Using the gas tube that is provided, connect the gas regulator to the connecting port A/B for CO2 gas
pipe at the rear left side of the incubator.
Note:
If the CO2 gas is supplied to multiple CO2 incubators from a single gas cylinder, a CO2 solid will be
formed in the gas regulator. The gas regulator safety valve will operate, and there may an explosive
sound.
When the MCO-21GC is not mounted
Using the gas tube that is provided, connect the gas regulator for the CO2 gas cylinder to connecting port
A for CO2 gas pipe located at the rear side of the incubator. After connecting the gas tube, make sure that
no gas is leaking.
When the MCO-21GC is mounted
Connect a pair of CO2 gas cylinders with gas regulators independently. The gas supply line will be
switched automatically. Connect the main cylinder to the connecting port A for CO2 gas pipe and the
reserve cylinder to the connecting port B for CO2 gas pipe. After connecting the cylinders, make sure that
no gas is leaking.
 For details on installing the optional automatic CO2 cylinder changeover kit (MCO-21GC), refer to the
MCO-21GC installation guide. For details on using the MCO-21GC, refer to page 58.
4. Set the CO2 gas on the secondary side to 0.03 MPa(G) (0.3 kgf/cm2(G), 4.3 psi(G)) for gas injection. As
the pressure increases, the CO2 gas density control range will increase. Excessive pressure may cause
gas supply lines inside the incubator to come loose, which may result in gas poisoning or oxygen
deprivation due to the escaping of gas. If gas lines come loose, the incubator must be repaired.
 The gas lines connected to the incubator will degrade over time. If any deterioration or abnormalities
are found during inspection, replace the lines immediately.
14
PREVENTING CONTAMINATION
To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site.
 Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity.
Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in
the air.
 Avoid locations with passers-by or drafts.
Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where passers-by or drafts can facilitate the entry
of microorganisms into the chamber.
 If possible, use a cleanroom.
To achieve a better culture, it is recommended that a cleanroom be used if one is available.
 Use clean containers.
The greatest cause of contamination is dirty containers for cultures. Be careful not to get containers or
trays dirty when taking them in and out.
 Keep the chamber clean.
Wipe off any fingerprints. If water spills from the humidifying pan, or if the doors are left open for a long
time, condensation may form on the inside of the doors. If that occurs, wipe off the condensation with a
dry sterile gauze. In particular, clean and disinfect the chamber if the culture medium is spilled. For details,
refer to “ROUTINE MAINTENANCE” on page 23.
 Use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan.
Always use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan. Do not use ultrapure water, because it may
cause red rust-like particles in the humidifying pan.
The water level alarm is displayed in the status display area on the control panel. Quickly refill the water
in the humidifying pan when the water level alarm is displayed. Adding low-temperature water will
significantly lower the temperature in the chamber. Clean the humidifying pan once a month.
 Keep the incubator out of direct airflows from air conditioners or fans.
Cool airflow from an air conditioner may cause condensation and lead to possible contamination.
15
PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES
 Leave space between culture containers.
Always leave space for ventilation between culture containers (Petri dishes, flasks, etc.). Inadequate
spacing may result in uneven temperature distribution and CO2 gas density.
 Do not place harmful materials in the chamber.
Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber. Doing so may cause
damage resulting from discoloration or corrosion.
 Close the inner door.
Always close the inner door before closing the outer door. Failure to close the inner door will adversely
affect performance even if the outer door is closed.
 Open and close the doors gently.
Always open and close the doors gently. Closing the doors forcefully may cause spillage of the culture
medium, incomplete closing, or damage to the gasket. Before opening the inner door, check through the
glass to confirm that the UV lamp is OFF (if the MCO-19AIC(UVH)/19AIC(UV) or the optional
MCO-19UVS is installed).
 Be careful when closing the outer door.
Use the handle when closing the outer door. Holding the door in other places may cause injury by getting
fingers caught in the door. Do not lean on the outer door. Doing so may result in injury from the outer door
coming loose or the incubator falling over, or it may cause current leakage or electric shock.
 Be careful of the inside of the outer door.
The inside of the outer door may become hot.
 Avoid using excessive force on the inner door.
Do not put your hand on the glass, poke it with sharp objects, or apply strong force. Doing so may result
in injury from breaking the glass.
 Check the cause of any alarm buzzer.
If an alarm buzzer sounds while the incubator is in use, immediately check the cause of the alarm. For
details on what may cause an alarm buzzer to sound, refer to page 46.
Using unlock key
 Unlocking when power is interrupted
If power is interrupted to the MCO-19AIC(UVH) or MCO-19AIC(UV)/19AIC with an MCO-HL installed, the
outer door is electrically locked. To unlock the outer door while the power is interrupted, use the unlock
key that is provided. To lock the outer door again, turn the unlock key to the lock direction while the outer
door is open. After the outer door has been locked condition manually, then close the outer door.
Note:
The outer door cannot be locked by using the unlock key while the outer door is closed. Lock the outer
door while it is open. Attempting to turn the unlock key while the outer door is closed may damage the
electric lock system.
WARNING
For the MCO-19AIC(UVH) or MCO-19AIC(UV)/19AIC with an MCO-HL installed, the outer door is
electrically locked during decontamination. The chamber is filled with H2O2 gas during decontamination.
Do not unlock the outer door during decontamination.

FILLING HUMIDIFYING PAN
Use the following procedure to fill the humidifying pan or to replace the water.
1. Lift the humidifying pan cover. (Fig. 1)
2. Pull out the humidifying pan toward you. (Fig. 2)
3. Dispose of the remaining water in the humidifying
pan and clean the humidifying pan with a diluted
detergent. Then rinse it thoroughly with distilled
water and wipe it with alcohol for disinfection.
4. Wipe all moisture from the bottom of the chamber.
Fig. 1
5. Return the humidifying pan to the chamber and
pour sterile distilled water (approx. 1.5 L, preheated
to 37 C). (Fig. 3)
CAUTION
Install the humidifying pan in a longitudinal direction
as its shorter side is placed in the back. Improper
installation may cause condensations.
Fig. 2
6. Set the humidifying pan with the inner side flush
against the back, and replace the humidifying pan
cover. Close the inner door and the outer door, and
confirm that RH PAN is not displayed in reverse
video in the status display field.
Note:
• Preheat the water to 37 C to be poured into the
humidifying pan. Adding low-temperature water will
lower the temperature and humidity in the chamber.
• If the water level alarm indication “RH PAN” is
displayed, use the above procedure to replenish the
water.
Fig. 3
CAUTION
When refilling the water in the humidifying pan, always wipe off any dirt from the water level sensor
with alcohol for disinfection. While doing that, be careful not to apply excessive force to the sensor
lead wire.
Caution：
In order to adjust the humidity inside the incubator chamber optimally and prevent condensation on the
chamber surface and the inner door, it is designed to create the lower temperature area underneath the
humidifying pan to recondense the evaporated moisture in the humidifying pan. Although the
condensation may be seen round the humidifying pan on the bottom of chamber (inside the humidifying
pan cover), it is not a malfunction.
21
WATER LEVEL SENSOR
This incubator is equipped with a water level sensor. The water level sensor is set automatically when the
humidifying pan is installed. Take care not to damage the water level sensor when removing or installing
the humidifying pan.
When the humidifying pan is removed (side view)
Water level sensor
Humidifying pan
When the humidifying pan is installed (side view)
Note: Make sure that the humidifying pan is pushed all the way to the back and that the water level
sensor comes down when you install the humidifying pan.
Note:
• Lift the water level sensor before installing the humidifying pan if the water level sensor is in the lower
position after maintenance.
• When installing the humidifying pan, make sure that the humidifying pan is set properly and that water
level sensor comes down into the humidifying pan. “RH PAN” will be displayed in reverse video in the
status display field on LCD panel if the water level sensor does not come down completely. If necessary,
set the humidifying pan again in the proper location.
• The water level sensor detects the water level every 30 minutes and just after the outer door is closed. It
takes several seconds to detect the water level. Therefore, “RH PAN” may be displayed in reverse video
several times in the status display field on LCD panel after the outer door is closed even when the
humidifying pan is full.
CAUTION
Foreign particles on the water surface can adhere to the water level sensor and fittings by capillary action
because the water level sensor is always in the water. The adhered foreign particles degrade water level
sensor performance and “RH PAN” may be displayed in reverse video in the status display field on LCD
panel even though there is sufficient water in the humidifying pan. Be sure to wipe OFF any dirt on the
water level sensor with alcohol for disinfection whenever you change the humidifying water. When
cleaning the water level sensor, take care not to apply excessive force to the lead wires.
22
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To use this unit in a clean condition, clean the chamber and all the inner attachments at least once a
month.
1. Remove all the inner attachments by the procedures shown on page 18.
2. Clean the chamber and all the inner attachments by the procedures shown on page 17.
3. Install all the inner attachments by the procedures shown on page 20.
● When there is excessive dirt, contact our sales representative or agent.
CORRECT OPERATION
Use the following procedure to start trial operation or actual operation of the incubator.
1. Install the incubator correctly, referring to “INSTALLATION” on page 13.
2. Remove the packing materials from the chamber and inner attachments. Clean and disinfect the
chamber and all the inner attachments, referring to above “ROUTINE MAINTENANCE”.
3. Add approximately 1.5 L of sterile distilled water to the humidifying pan. (Refer to page 21.)
4. Connect the power supply cord to the outlet. Turn ON the power switch on the left side of the rear panel
of the incubator.
Note:
The humidity in the incubator chamber is adjusted to the optimum setting. To prevent condensation on the
surface inside chamber and the inner door, there is a low-temperature area under the humidifying pan in
the bottom of chamber to recondense evaporated moisture. Condensation may occur around the
humidifying pan at the bottom of the chamber (on the inside of the humidifying pan cover), but this does
not indicate a problem.
23
LCD PANEL
The following display (called the “Top Display”) will appear when the power switch is turned ON. The
default temperature is 37.0 oC and the default CO2 density is 0 %. The date and time are preset at the
factory. Refer to page 36 to change the date and time.

UV LAMP PARAMETERS
The UV lamp is used with the MCO-19AIC(UVH)/19AIC(UV) or the MCO-19AIC with an MCO-19UVS UV
system set installed. Use the following procedures to make the settings.
Using UV lamp
The UV lamp is located inside the duct to sterilize the water in the humidifying pan and the air circulating
in the chamber. Observe the following points to use the UV lamp correctly.
 When all the inner attachments are installed correctly, only the inside of the duct and the inside of the
humidifying pan cover are exposed to UV light.
 Correctly install all of the inner attachments when starting a cell culture, and never turn ON the UV lamp
when the humidifying pan cover is removed.
 Always install the humidifying pan cover even when using the incubator without turning ON the UV
lamp. Leaving the cover uninstalled will affect the chamber temperature distribution and the humidity
recovery performance.
 The UV lamp stays lit for a preset period of time after the outer door is closed. The default setting is for
five minutes.
 If the outer door is not opened for at least 12 consecutive hours, the UV lamp will light for the preset
time period every 12 hours.
 The recommended replacement time for the UV lamp (i.e., when the UV output ratio drops to 60 % to
70 % of its initial value) is when the accumulated ON time reaches 1,000 hours. When the accumulated
ON time reaches approximately 1,000 hours, the “UV” will blink in the status display field on the LCD
panel (when the UV lamp is not lit) and “Warning :UV Life” is displayed in the message display field on the
LCD panel. It is recommended that the UV lamp be quickly replaced at this point. Contact our sales
representative or agent for information on replacing the UV lamp.
 If the UV lamp burns out, “Err18:UV Lamp Abnormal” will be displayed in the message display field. If
this occurs, replace the UV lamp. When replacing the UV lamp, replace the glow starter (type FG-7P) at
the same time. Contact our sales representative or agent for information on replacing the UV lamp.
 If the UV lamp burns out (“Err18:UV Lamp Abnormal” will be displayed in the message display field), it
will not be possible to perform H2O2 decontamination. Replace the UV lamp and the glow starter (type
FG-7P).
32
Precautions when using UV lamp
WARNING
Do not look directly at UV light. UV light is harmful to the eyes.
 Always use the humidifying pan and humidifying pan cover.
The humidifying pan and humidifying pan cover prevent UV light from escaping. Always use them even
when not humidifying. To check whether the UV lamp is lit, open the outer door and then press the door
switch with the inner door still closed. Visible blue light can be confirmed from the front of the humidifying
pan cover. UV light is harmful to the eyes, so do not light the UV lamp when the inner door or the
humidifying pan cover is open.
 Be careful when handling the UV lamp.
There is a UV lamp inside of the duct. Be careful not to damage it when installing or removing the inner
attachments, the humidifying pan, or the H2O2 generator.

 The UV timer can be set from 0 minute to 30 minutes. The default setting is for 5 minutes. When the UV
timer is set to zero, the UV lamp will not light.
 If the outer door is opened while the UV lamp is lit, the lamp will turn OFF. Then, when the outer door is
closed, the lamp will light for the preset period of time.
 If the UV lamp ON time is set for longer than 10 minutes or if only the outer door is repeated opened
and closed, condensation may occur in the chamber and may affect temperature distribution. It will also
shorten the service life of the UV lamp.
 When replacing the UV lamp, contact our sales representative or agent.
Note: To compensate for the drop in UV ray output along with increased accumulated ON time of the UV
lamp, the incubator automatically extends the UV lamp ON time according to the accumulated ON time.
The automatically extended time is displayed as a percentage under “UV Timer Ext.” in the “UV Setting”
display.
Lighting UV lamp for 24 hours
If the chamber has been contaminated by dirt or by spilling the medium, use the following procedure to
decontaminate the chamber by lighting the UV lamp for 24 hours.
1. Remove all attachments from the chamber, including the trays, the tray supports, the side supports, the
fan cover, the duct, the fan, the humidifying pan, and the humidifying pan cover. Clean all the
attachments in an autoclave or with alcohol for disinfection.
2. Clean and wipe off inside the chamber with alcohol for disinfection.

When the chamber has been contaminated, or when cleaning the chamber prior to starting a culture,
H2O2 decontamination can be performed using the H2O2 generator.
 The following products must be purchased separately in order to perform H2O2 decontamination. Before
performing H2O2 decontamination, make sure that these are correctly installed.
 UV system set (MCO-19UVS) (Not required for the MCO-19AIC(UVH)/19AIC(UV).)
 H2O2 decon set (MCO-HL)
 H2O2 generator (MCO-HP)
 The H2O2 decontamination function decontaminates the chamber and the inner attachments. Do not
place any objects other than the specified attachments in the chamber during decontamination.
 Before performing H2O2 decontamination, clean the chamber and the inner attachments with alcohol for
disinfection.
 Before performing H2O2 decontamination, make sure that the duct, the fan and the H2O2 generator are
securely attached. (Fig. 1 - 3 on page 52)
 The chamber temperature during H2O2 decontamination reaches 45 C. Before performing H2O2
decontamination, set the high limit temperature alarm to 50 C or higher.
 For the H2O2 reagent, use one bottle of the H2O2 reagent specified by our company (MCO-H2O2).
 After decontamination, dilute the residual H2O2 reagent in the H2O2 generator with a large quantity of
water and dispose of it, and rinse with distilled water. (Do not wash either the inside or outside of the H2O2
generator with alcohol.)
WARNING
Use the reagent specified by our company for H2O2 decontamination. Using a different H2O2 solution
may cause explosion or damage to the incubator, or insufficient decontamination.
Do not use chemicals other than the H2O2 reagent, such as alcohol. Doing so may result in damage
to the H2O2 generator.
WARNING
When performing H2O2 decontamination, make sure that the outer and inner doors are securely
closed. During H2O2 decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon caps that are provided. Failure
to do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.
CAUTION
H2O2 decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and inner attachments with standard
specifications, and not for any other objects.
CAUTION
Perform H2O2 decontamination with the inner attachments arranged as specified by our company.
Arranging them in a different way may result in insufficient decontamination.
CAUTION
Wear rubber gloves when handling the H2O2 reagent. Direct contact with the H2O2 reagent may result
in inflammation of the skin.
CAUTION
After H2O2 decontamination has been completed, residual H2O2 solution will remain on the bottom of the
chamber, the H2O2 generator, and the bottom of the duct. Wearing protective glasses and rubber
gloves, wipe it off with a non-woven cloth. Failure to do so may result in a deficient culture.
41
Use the following procedure to perform H2O2 decontamination using the H2O2 generator (MCO-HP).
1. Take out all the trays, the tray supports, the side supports, the humidifying pan cover, the humidifying
pan, the fan cover, and the duct from the chamber. Dispose of the water in the humidifying pan, wipe the
inside walls of the chamber with a gauze containing water or alcohol for disinfection.
2. Attach the duct and side supports, and set the tray supports in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th holes from the top
of the side supports. Then set the trays.
3. Pour one bottle of the H2O2 reagent (MCO-H2O2) into the H2O2 generator. Set the two pins on the
H2O2 generator in the 2 holes on the lower left side of the duct (Fig. 1).
4. Connect the H2O2 generator and connector on the bottom right of the far side of the chamber with the
enclosed cable. Be sure to keep the connector cap (Fig. 2).
5. Set the humidifying pan cover, the humidifying pan and the fan cover as shown in Fig. 3, and close the
inner door and the outer door.
Note: The trays included as accessory are designed to be appropriate for decontamination. If half tray
(MCO-25ST, optional) or trays for previous models are used, decontamination may not be sufficiently
effective.

Note:
It is important to accurately measure the temperature inside the incubator when calibrating the
temperature. Particularly, the temperature gauge used must have an accuracy of JIS 0.5 Class or better.
The temperature must be measured at several points.
The temperature setting must not change by more than ±1.0 oC during calibration. If these values are
exceeded, an error buzzer will sound, the input data will be ignored, and the incubator will return to the
display mode. If it is necessary to change the temperature by more than 1.0 oC, perform calibration in
several stages over a period of time.
50
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the incubator does not seem to be working properly, check the following items before calling for service.
Symptom
The incubator does not
operate at all.
Items to check and countermeasures
 Is the incubator plugged in?
The key is not working.
 Is the key lock function turned OFF?
An alarm has occurred.
When starting operation:
 Is there a power outage, or has a circuit breaker interrupted the
power?
 Does the chamber temperature match the set value?
 Does the CO2 gas density in the chamber match the set value?
(1) Is the secondary pressure for the gas regulator at the specified value
2
of 0.03 MPa(G) (0.3 kgf/cm (G), 4.3 psi(G))?
(2) Is the gas tube properly connected?
During operation:
 Is the high limit alarm temperature set at least 1 C higher than the
chamber set temperature?
 Has the temperature setting been changed? Has the outer door been
left open for a long time? Has a low-temperature object been placed in
the chamber? If any of these is the case, the alarm will be
automatically cleared if you wait.
 Has the gas tube come loose, or is there a gas leak?
 Has the CO2 gas density setting been changed?
 Is the gas cylinder empty? Check the primary pressure of the gas
cylinder once a week. (When the primary pressure is 3.8 MPa(G) (38
2
kgf/cm (G), 5.5 kpsi(G)) or lower, it is a sign that there is little gas
remaining. Replace the cylinder soon.)
 Is the incubator operating beside the appliance that generates the
electromagnetic wave?
The chamber temperature
does not match the set value.
 Is the ambient temperature less than 5 C different from the set value
for the chamber temperature?
 Is the outer door closed with the inner door left open?
The CO2 gas density does
not match the set value.
 Is the secondary pressure for the gas regulator at the specified value
2
of 0.03 MPa(G) (0.3 kgf/cm (G), 4.3 psi(G))?
 Is the gas tube blocked?
The chamber temperature
does not rise.
 Is there enough water in the humidifying pan? (Be sure to use sterile
distilled water.)
A large quantity of CO2 gas is
being consumed.
 Are the outer and inner doors being frequently opened and closed?
 Check whether gas is leaking from connectors due to deterioration of
the gas tube, or whether there may be any pinhole leaks. The gas tube
is a replaceable part, and it is recommended that it be replaced once a
year.
 Is the packing seal for the inner door defective?
 Is the access hole open?
Normal cultures are not
possible, and the CO2 gas
density is suspect.
 Is the ambient air environment around the incubator normal? Is there a
source of polluted gas in the vicinity?
51
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
The CO2 gas density is slow to
recover.
Items to check and countermeasures
 A HEPA filter is used for the incubator CO2 gas piping. If gas
density is slow to recover when the CO2 gas pressure is normal, it
is possible that the HEPA filter may be clogged. Contact our sales
representative or agent.
 Is there little gas remaining in the CO2 gas cylinder?
 Is the secondary pressure for the gas regulator at the specified
2
value of 0.03 MPa(G) (0.3 kgf/cm (G), 4.3 psi(G))?
 Is the gas tube blocked?
CO2 gas is not being injected.
 The CO2 control method for the incubator is the ON-OFF method.
CO2 gas is intermittently injected as the gas density in the chamber
approaches the set value. Injections may be stopped for periods of
approximately 15 seconds, but that is not an error.
The outer door does not open.
MCO-19AIC(UVH), or when the optional MCO-HL is installed:
 When the power switch is OFF, the electric lock is locked and the
outer door does not open. Either turn ON the power switch or use
the accessory unlock key to override the electric lock.
 During decontamination the outer door is electrically locked and
does not open.
H2O2 decontamination cannot be
performed.
 If the MCO-19AIC(UV)/19AIC is being used, is the optional
MCO-HL installed?
 If the MCO-19AIC is being used, are the optional MCO-HL and
MCO-19UVS installed?
 Is the UV lamp burned out? If the UV lamp is burned out, H2O2
decontamination will not be possible.
 Is the H2O2 generator cable properly connected?
 Has the entire bottle of the H2O2 reagent been used?
 Has the high limit temperature alarm been set to 50 C or higher?
In H2O2 decontamination cycle,
”Err34:H2O2 Volume “ occurred.
 Is the duct securely attached? Attach the duct properly to the 4
points hooks. (Fig. 1)
 Is the fan attached properly? Remove the central spring at the
center of the fan and confirm if the fan is pushed all the way to the
motor shaft. Then, reinstall the central spring. (Fig. 2)
 Is the H2O2 generator securely installed? Set the 2 pins of the H2O2
generator in the 2 holes at the left bottom of the duct. (Fig. 3)
① Push the fan deeply.
Fig. 1
② Install the central spring
afterwards.
③ Lightly turn the fan manually to
make sure that it does not touch
the rear panel.

AUTOMATIC CO2 CYLINDER CHANGEOVER
A gas auto changer (MCO-21GC) is available as an optional accessory. This kit switches the gas supply
lines when one of the CO2 gas cylinders becomes empty.
Note: The installation of the MCO-21GC must be performed only by qualified service personnel.
Install the MCO-21GC and then perform the following procedure.
1. Connect 2 gas tubes to the connecting ports A and B for CO2 gas pipe. The connecting ports A and B
for CO2 gas pipes are located on the left back of the incubator. (Refer to page 8).
Note: Only the port A can be used when the MCO-21GC is not installed. There will be 2 ports, the ports A
and B, after the MCO-21GC is installed.
2. Connect a CO2 gas cylinder equipped with a gas regulator to each gas tube. Refer to page 14 for
information on connecting the gas cylinders. (“Gas cylinder A” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to the
connecting port A for CO2 gas pipe, and “gas cylinder B” is the CO2 gas cylinder connected to the
connecting port B for CO2 gas pipe.)
3. Open the valves of both gas cylinders.
4. The current CO2 gas supply line is displayed on the “Top Display”.
(“A” and “B” will be displayed only when the MCO-21GC is installed. Nothing will be displayed if
MCO-21GC is not installed.)

5. The MCO-21GC detects that there is no more CO2 gas in a cylinder when the CO2 density in the
chamber does not increase for a while even after opening the CO2 gas valve in the incubator. It switches
the gas supply line when it detects that there is no more gas. At that time, the indications of switching the
gas cylinder are as follows:
Message display field

automatically (Only when MCO-21GC
is installed.)
Err01: CO2 Gas Empty is

Display of gas supply
The character for gas supply line
that is empty blinks.
The gas supply line that is
currently being used is displayed
in reverse video.
●To silence the buzzer, press the buzzer key (BUZZER). The alarm condition is cleared and normal
operation continues.
58
6. When the gas cylinder A is switched to the gas cylinder B, remove gas cylinder A and replace it with
new one.
Note: Be careful when handling the empty CO2 gas cylinder. Some gas may still be left in the cylinder.
●When the gas cylinder B becomes empty, the line is switched to the gas cylinder A again.
The MCO-21GC detects that there is no more CO2 gas in a cylinder when the CO2 density in the chamber
does not increase for a while even after opening the CO2 gas valve in the incubator. The supply line may
also be switched for other reasons even though there is gas left in the cylinder: blocking or restricting of
gas tube, reduction of CO2 gas pressure, or improper opening of CO2 gas cylinder. Always check the gas
quantity in the cylinder before disconnecting it.
● Use the following procedure to manual switch the line between CO2 cylinders A and B (only when
MCO-21GC is installed). This procedure shows switching the line from the gas cylinder B to the gas
cylinder A as an example.
1. From the “Top Display”, press the “Left Cursor Key” for 5 seconds.

To calibrate the CO2 density, a STD gas auto calibration kit (MCO-SG) is available. By connecting a CO2
standard gas cylinder that has the density that is the same as the set CO2 density (usually 5 % CO2), the
CO2 sensor can be calibrated to maintain the accuracy of the CO2 density display as necessary.

STACKING INCUBATORS
Use the following procedure to stack incubators. This work is potentially dangerous, so contact our sales
representative or agent.
CAUTION
 Select a floor that is strong enough to support the stacked incubators.
 Never stack 3 or more incubators. Doing so is dangerous.
1. Take out 2 stacking plates A, 2 stacking plates B, 4 protective stickers, and 4 screws from the
accessory bag.
Note:
When stacking 2 incubators, use 2 stacking plates (A and B) for each one. Only one pair of stacking
plates is provided per an incubator, so take out the stacking plates (A and B) from both incubators.
Similarly only 2 protective stickers are provided per an incubator
2. Unplug both of the incubators that are to be stacked.
3. Remove the caps at the 2 places in the front of the top surface of the incubator that is to be on the
bottom, attach the protective stickers to the 4 corners on the top surface of the incubator that is to be on
the bottom. (Fig. A)
4. Secure stacking plate A with the screws that are provided.
5. Remove the front panel (5 screws) from the incubator that is to be on the top.
6. Place the upper incubator on top of the lower one, being careful not to pinch your fingers.
7. Make the lower incubator level by adjusting the leveling feet, and then level the upper incubator in the
same way.
8. Secure the stacking plate A fixed to the lower incubator to the upper incubator with the accessory
screws.
