Uv Lamp Parameters; Using The Uv Lamp - Phcbi MCO-170AIC Bedienungsanleitung

UV LAMP PARAMETERS

The UV lamp operates in models MCO-170AICUVH/170AICUV or when the optional UV system
MCO-170UVS is installed on the model MCO-170AIC.
Operation of the UV lamp disinfects the water in the humidifying pan and the air circulating in the chamber.

Using the UV lamp

1. Correctly install all of the inner attachments, and place the cultivation samples on the trays.
Notes:
• The duct, humidifying pan, and humidifying pan cover prevent UV light from escaping. Always use the
humidifying pan and cover, even when not humidifying.
• Never turn the UV lamp ON when the duct and humidifying pan cover are removed.
• Always use the humidifying pan cover even when the UV lamp is not turned ON. Using the incubator
without the humidifying pan cover may adversely affect the chamber temperature distribution and humidity
recovery.
2. Close the outer door. The UV lamp will light for the preset period (i.e. the time set on "UV Timer" plus the
time added by "UV Timer Ext"). Refer to page 49 for instructions on setting the timer.
Notes:
• If the outer door is opened while the UV lamp is lit, the lamp will turn OFF. When the door is closed again,
the lamp will light for the preset period.
• Repeated opening and closing of the outer door may adversely affect the condensation in the chamber and
the chamber temperature distribution because the UV lamp generates heat for a long time. It may also
shorten the service life of the UV lamp.
• To check whether the UV lamp is lit, open the outer door and then press the door switch with the inner
door closed. Visible blue light can be observed from the front of the humidifying pan cover.
• UV light is harmful to the eyes. Do not turn the UV lamp ON when the inner door is open.
3. If the outer door is not opened for at least 12 consecutive hours, the UV lamp lights for the preset period
every 12 hours.
Note: Opening the outer door will reset the 12-hour period.
The recommended replacement time for the UV lamp (i.e., when the UV output ratio drops to
60 %–70 % of its initial value) is when the accumulated ON time reaches 5,000 hours. The message
"Warning: UV Bulb Life" then appears in the message display field. Replace the UV lamp promptly at this
point. Contact our sales representative or agent for information.
If the UV lamp burns out, "Err18: UV Lamp Abnormal" is displayed in the message display field. If this
occurs, it is not possible to perform H O decontamination. Replace the UV lamp, and replace the glow
2 2
starter (type FG-7P or FG-7PL) at the same time. Contact our sales representative or agent for
information.
