1.1 Description
1. Overview 1. Overview
The AEOLUS™ CO2 incubator shaker with controlled temperature, shaking, humidity,
and CO2 concentration can be stacked three units high, while occupying the floor space
of only one unit. The combination and innovation of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
and Fuzzy control technology have allowed for high precision control of the instrument’s
chamber temperature. The three axis eccentric balance mechanism is stable, reliable,
and durable. The speed control system has a speed terminal feedback system, which
ensures high precision oscillation within the instrument. An inverter compressor is used
for refrigeration, thus making cooling a highly efficient process with low energy
consumption. The instrument’s noise reduction design keeps the noise level to only
55dB. The independent modular operation design makes it easy to selectively choose
which functions to run, so it can be used as a CO2 incubator for culturing cells statically,
or as an ordinary open air shaker, or as a biochemical incubator.
This machine can run continuously, but also includes a timer which can be set up to 999
hours. 12 segment functions can be programmed to achieve diverse environment
conditions, and specific running times for each segment can be set to create the required
environments. The rail platform makes it convenient to place and retrieve samples in the
instrument. The 7 inch color touch screen provides easy and streamlined operation.
Additionally, the WiFi monitoring system can be equipped with multiple phones, allowing
multiple users to remotely monitor the same instrument. Remote monitoring also sends
timely alarm information to deal with emergency situations quickly and safely without air
intake to protect cultured cells.
ŸGood thermal insulation, air tightness and waterproof properties: The main box
body, door, and insulation materials of the instrument all use foamed polyurethane
materials, which have the advantages of lightness, sound insulation, shockproof,
electrical insulation, heat resistance, cold resistance, solvent resistance, and aging
resistance.
ŸAutomatic adjustment of PID control: Instrument adjusts itself to the appropriate
parameters according to the different user set conditions and ensures high
precision and stability of temperature.
ŸStrong cooling capacity: Chamber can be cooled to 20°C below the ambient
temperature (Lowest temp is 4℃).
ŸExcellent temperature control performance: When stable at 37°C, the uniformity in
the cavity reaches ≤ ±0.2°C.
ŸPull out rail platform: Operator can easily pull the platform out to load or unload
fixtures and then push it back and lock. Only one locking handle in the middle of the
platform provides fast and convenient operation.
ŸIntuitive visual 7 inch color touch screen: Modular display shows the different
functions.
ŸCapacitive touch screen: The capacitive screen is durable and has no reaction
delay when the screen is pressed.
ŸSimple screen interface: A variety of functions, set values, and actual values are
displayed. At a glance, the user will know all the running parameters as they are
easy to find and operate.
ŸThe display screen has an automatic lock screen, automatic sleep function, and
password protection functions: Prevent mis-operation or allowing non-authorized
personnel to perform non-permissible operations.
ŸThree units can be stacked: Instrument can be purchased as a single unit, double
stack, or triple stack with the option to stack units (up to triple stack) in the future.
ŸBi-directional ultraviolet sterilization: The chamber is equipped with two sets of UV
sterilization light components to enhance the germicidal effect and reach every part
of the chamber.
ŸInverter compressor: Noiseless, durable, highly efficient, and energy saving.
ŸUltra quiet design: The whole instrument runs very quietly; the noise level is less
than 55dB, giving the operator a quiet environment.
ŸSlow acceleration and deceleration: Shaking function starts and stops slowly to
prevent large shear forces on the bacteria or cells.
ŸHigh pressure water rinse for the platform and bottom of the chamber: Simple
cleaning that is fast and efficient.

ŸPay attention to avoid any risk of body injuries from disassembling, lifting, or
moving the instrument.
ŸThe CO2 concentration may increase and can be harmful to your health if
operating the instrument in a small and airtight room.
ŸPlease keep the room ventilated when the CO2 function is on. Additionally, please
avoid direct inhalation of the gas when opening the door.
ŸKeep the vent of the instrument away from heat sources or other vents, otherwise
the compressor cannot be started or started frequently during refrigeration.
ŸWhen the instruments are stacked, make sure the floor loading capacity is at
least 1.5 times of the instruments weight. Stack them up near the wall or on the
floor with a reinforced beam to ensure good loading capacity.
The instrument must be placed on a firm and level surface. The total weight of the
instrument when fully loaded (474 lb/unit) must be taken into consideration. There
must be sufficient space left around the instrument. There should be at least 20 cm
between the instrument and any wall or any two adjacent instruments.

5. Installation 5. Installation
Please make sure each instrument is placed level, stable and still. Do not exceed the
maximum load of 20kg and the maximum stacked shaker speed of 250 RPM on the
second and third units.
Note
a. When stacked up to 3 units, units will need a Two-way Connector and 2 T-connectors.
b. When stacked up to 2 units, units will need a Two-way Connector and a T-connector.
5.3 Drain connection
2. Using the polyurethane tube provided,
connect the regulator to a CO2 inlet HEPA
filter first, and then to the CO2 inlet located
on the right side of the shaker. (See Figure 1)
3. Set the CO2 secondary flow control valve to 0.08~ 0.1MPa
(11.6~14.5psi).
(WARNING: Excessive pressure may cause disconnection
of internal pipes inside the CO2 incubator which will result
in leakage of CO2 gas into the surrounding environment.
High CO2 concentration can cause harm to your
health and may cause asphyxia or death. Maintenance
is required if the inline tube falls off.)
5.4 CO2 Connection
1. Install a regulator with flow control valve onto the CO2 Cylinder. Please use a
2 2
regulator with a primary preset pressure of 25MPa (250kg/cm , 3500l b/in ), and a
secondary preset pressure of 0.6MPa (2.0kg/cm, 30psiG).

1. Do not move the pressure adjustment rod on the regulator when changing the CO2
cylinder. It will affect the secondary pressure and will result in needing to reset the
valve. The inline tube might fall off if the pressure is too high and maintenance will be
required.
2. Check tube regularly to ensure it is safely connected. Change the tube if it is
damaged or aged.
3. Use the stainless steel hoop to tighten the connection point of the Polyurethane tube
and the filter to prevent the pipe from falling off and leaking gas.
4. Use more than 99.99% pure CO2. Low purity may cause blocking of the filter or
damage of the electromagnetic valve.

Warnings
- Make sure the gas supply meets the specified requirements.
- Make sure all the pipes are properly connected.
- Make sure the gas pressure settings are correct.
- Wrong pipe connection or pressure settings may cause CO2 leakage.
- High Co2 concentration will do harm to your health and may cause
suffocation or death.
- Alternative methods should be taken if there is no sufficient ventilation in the
room to guarantee safety. These methods include gas monitoring and alarming
system.
- Maintaining correct gas pressures can prevent gas leakage.
