EXTERNAL TEMP, %RH, PRESSURE SENSOR HOUSING!
1. Push the On/Off power button to activate the monitor & sampling pump. Before doing any monitoring allow the unit to run for
approximately 40-60 seconds for the CO2 sensor to stabilize & calibrate.
2. If needed, connect the external black Temperature and Humidity module (Part# TRH Mod) as shown in Figure 1 above.
3. Select a Monitoring Position:
a. If the incubator has a glass/see-thru door and the AQ Incuba can fit safely inside the incubator without
damaging the instrument (ex: extremely high humidity), place the AQ Incuba with the TRH Module connected
inside the incubator. If this is not feasible or the instrument needs to remain outside the incubator, please see
part b.
b. If the instrument needs to remain outside the incubator, connect the Filter/hose assembly (AQ650078) shown
in Figure 2 to the Center “Sample-In” / “A”inlet at the bottom of the AQ Incuba. If temperature and humidity
need to be measured connect the optional TRH-EXT probe shown in Figure 3 to the bottom of the AQ Incuba.
The proper connections are shown in Figure 4 both. Figure 5 shows proper usage of the TRH-EXT and
AQ650078 together.
