The unit is powered by AC 220-240V/ 50-60Hz. It must be connected to an earthed mains socket.
The electric installation should be secured by a circuit breaker 16 A characteristics B.
1.2. General safety instructions on installing and operating the CO2
incubator
1.2.1. Indications for using pressure cylinders
•During the operation of the CO2incubator, small amounts of CO2enter the room which in high
concentration can be life-threatening. The unit does not emit CO2when the power supply is
switched off and the gas cylinder valves are closed.
•The CO2incubator can’t be operated near concentrated acids or corrosive vapours.
•The workplace must be properly ventilated.
•Emergency shutdown of the CO2 dosing: close the gas cylinder valve.
The amount of dispensed CO2is regulated by a microprocessor controller. If the chamber door is open during CO2
dosing, the gas will be automatically cut off.
•Together with a pressure cylinder with compressed gas, the user should be given a safety data sheet for the
gas and instructions for its use.
•The ventilation performance in the room must ensure level of gas concentrations in the room below the limit
values. High concentration of CO2(>4 Vol.-%) - risk of death by suffocation.
•During gas intake from the gas cylinder, check the pressure level regularly.

Instruction manual ILC SMART PRO

1.2.2. Characteristics of carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless and odorless gas, therefore it is practically imperceptible. CO2is heavier than air and
soluble in water.
Warning signs on the bottle containing CO2:
Non-flammable and non-toxic gases
Pressurised gas
Product ID: Carbon dioxide (100%)
Chemical formula: CO2
Application of the substance: General industrial applications
1.2.3. Location requirements
To prevent the accumulation of gas above the permissible concentrations in the room, natural or mechanical ventilation
should be provided. Inaddition,a natural or mechanical installation mustbe provided toprevent the oxygen concentration
from falling below 19.5%.
Observe the occupational exposure limit OEL for CO2set by national authorities (formerly maximum permitted workplace
concentration). Check compliance when operating all chambers located in the room.
It is recommended to use a control and measurement equipment for measuring CO2concentration in rooms
with a CO2incubator.
1.2.4. Hazards when working with CO2
Carbon dioxide in elevated concentration causes shortness of breath, circulation problems and
ultimately death. Avoid breathing gas.
The bottle with compressed gas may cause cryogenic burns or injury (extremely cold liquid and/or
high pressure gas).
1.2.5. Presonal protection / first aid
In the event of gas leak:
Leave the room immediately, warn other people and ventilate the room if possible.
Respiratory protection:
In an atmosphere where there is a lack of oxygen (excess of carbon dioxide), use a self-contained breathing apparatus
or a face mask with a positive pressure air supply. Respirators with air filters will not provide protection.
Inhalation problems:

Instruction manual ILC SMART PRO
9
Move the victim to fresh air. CO2gas is heavier than the air and accumulates e.g. at the floor. If breathing has stopped
or is difficult, give aided respiration. Oxygen administration may be indicated. In the event of cardiac arrest, a trained
person should immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
In life-threatening emergencies:
1) protect yourself with a breathing apparatus,
2) remove the victim from the contaminated area,
3) call a doctor,
4) start CPR.
1.2.6. User’s responsibility
The user is obliged to:
1) be familiar and comply with applicable health and safety rules, regulations for handling CO2and to train operators
properly,
2) secure the unit against access by unauthorized persons,
3) keep the unit in perfect condition,
4) follow the maintenance schedule,
5) ensure that operators use appropriate personal protective equipment,
6) share the user manual and CO2 safety data sheet with operators working with the unit.

Perform the above steps in reverse order to clean the chamber.
3.3. Water pan
Please make sure that the water pan is placed on the chamber’s bottom (equally between the rack). Below the water pan
there is a cold spot of the chamber which prevents formation of water condensation.
Fill the water pan only with deionized (demineralized) water up to the filling level marked by the pressed inner edge
(volume:1,5 liter).
It is recommended to clean and refill the pan 2-3 times a week. For emptying and cleaning remove the water pan.

Instruction manual ILC SMART PRO
14
Operate the chamber only with deionized (demineralized) water. Conductivity from 1µS/cm up to a maximum of 20µS/cm.
Water which is in equilibrium with the CO2 in the air and has a conductivity < 1µS/cm (ultrapure water) may cause acid
corrosion due to it´s low pH.
Any corrosive damage that may arise following the use of water of deviating quality or by additives is excluded from
the liability agreement.
If required, you can add microbiologically inhibiting substances such as copper chips, copper sulfate or EDTA
in a concentration of 1 to 5 mmol/l.
Empty the water pan before moving the unit. In case of the contents spilling, immediately dry the chamber carefully and
completely.
3.4. Remarks on the placement of samples
To provide proper air circulation and stable conditions in which the samples are stored in the chamber, it is necessary to
keep the following rules:
•the max height of the samples should not exceed 1/3 of the space between the shelves,
•approx. 1/3 of the width and depth of the shelf should remain empty, while the distances between the samples,
as well as between the samples and the wall should be approximately equal.
The picture below is an example of the placement of samples in the chamber.

gently then turn the handle to the horizontal position. If the door has not been closed properly, an alarm will sound.
Closing the door correctly reduces energy consumption and ensures the specified temperature variation and fluctuation.
3.6. Internal glass door
To open or close the internal glass door use the installed plastic handle. Always use safety gloves to protect yourself
and minimise the risk of getting burnt when the temperature inside is high.
During sterilization process the inner chamber of the incubator is hot (do not touch the glass door
or inner parts of the chamber).

Instruction manual ILC SMART PRO
15
3.7. Connection of the CO2gas cylinder
The manufacturer supplies the unit with a 3m pressure gas hose with pre-assembled hose nozzle for quick connector
and a hose clamp. This hose is used to connect CO2cylinder.
To establish the gas cylinder connection to the chamber:
1. place the CO2cylinder vertically and attach it to the wall with a special clamp, rope or chain,
2. ensure the correct CO2output pressure of 1,5-2 bar (use a pressure reducer),
3. connect the supplied gas hose to the pressure reducer of the gas cylinder or central gas supply and secure
the connection with the supplied hose clamp,
4. connect the pre-assembled hose nozzle of the gas hose to the quick connector on the chamber rear,
5. slowly unscrew the valve of the gas cylinder while checking low leakage connection.
Leak test
It´s important that all gas connections will be checked for leaks after the incubator is connected to the gas cylinder. This
can be done with a leak spray or with a solution of dilute soap.
The gas outlet pressure CANNOT exceed the indicated value of 2,5 bar. The pressure above this value will
result in chamber damage.
Before connecting, check the outlet pressure on the pressure reducer of the cylinder. Adjust
the outlet pressure to 1,5 –2,0 bar above the ambient pressure.
Only use the supplied hose nozzle to connect to the quick connector. Otherwise, the quick connector may leak, and/or it
may become impossible to connect the original hose nozzle. In this case, please contact POL-EKO-APARATURA
Service.
The CO2gas cylinder is NOT supplied with the CO2incubator. The purchase, transport
and connection is the responsibility of the user.
The gas connections must be installed by qualified personel who is trained in handling
the respective gases and is familiar with the required safety measures.
•Opening the gas cylinder valves is only permitted when the cylinder has been connected to the chamber.
•Pressure level is checked by the controller regularly. When the CO2 pressure is low, an alarm occurs on the
screen (“CO2 Pressure low Start”).
Open the gas cylinder valve slowly to avoid pressure surges.

Instruction manual ILC SMART PRO
