Leveling the Unit
Place a level on the middle shelf of the incubator. Adjust the feet until the unit sits level
left to right and front to back. Even if the unit is level without adjustment, the leveling
feet should still be lowered to avoid the cabinet moving while opening and closing the
outer door & prevent a flat spot from forming on the casters.
Connecting the Drain Line
The chamber drain connection is located in the bottom middle of the back of the
chamber. A 3/8” NPT fitting and tubing are supplied in the unit parts kit. Thread the
fitting into the drain connection and slide the tubing into the drain connection. Pull on
the tubing after installation to make sure it is tight. Route the drain tubing to a local
floor drain.
If a local floor drain is not available, a variety of accessories are available through
CARON customer service. These accessories can also be viewed at
www.caronproducts.com .
For non-humidified chambers operated above 15°C, a drain is not needed. Install the
3/8” plug into the drain connection.
Connecting the Water Supply
To ensure proper operation, distilled or deionized water is required as a supply on units
that have humidity control. If these water sources are not available contact CARON
customer service.
When using a pressurized water source, failure
to connect the unit to a drain could result in
facility flooding.
The drain line relies on gravity to remove water
from the chamber. The drain line must remain
below the chamber to drain properly. Kinks or
elevations in the drain line above the cabinet
drain will not allow the chamber to drain.
