Installing the Port Stoppers
The unit has an access port built into each side of the cabinet. The ports are designed
to allow customer access for equipment validation or for installation of other equipment
inside the chamber. These ports should be sealed with the provided rubber stoppers to
allow the incubator to function properly. Install the stoppers provided in the port on each
side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Each incubator includes four (6024, 6026) or five (6044, 6046) perforated stainless steel
shelves. Each shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. Prior to installation,
take time to consider what the size of the product being placed in the incubator will be
and set the shelf spacing accordingly. Additional shelving can be purchased through
CARON customer service if necessary.
To install the shelf channels slide on end of the shelf track into the appropriate shelf
location in the rear plenum. Hook the front of the shelf track into the corresponding
location on either the right or left side front shelf support pilaster. Repeat the process on
the opposite side of the incubator.
If your incubator was purchased with an optional shelving support system such as a
shaker support system or cell roller support system please see the accessories section
of the manual for details regarding installation.
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. Models 6024 & 6026 have the leveling feet built into the
caster. 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.
Each shelf is capable of supporting a uniformly distributed
load of 50 pounds. The maximum chamber capacity is
500 pounds (stationary). Optional shelving is available for
supporting heavy loads such as shakers or cell rollers.
Chamber should be empty when being moved.
Do not pull multiple loaded shelves out simultaneously or
the chamber may tip.
