1. Description
The Culture Safe range of CO2 incubators comprises of the Touch 190 (T190), the Touch
190S (T190S) and 190S O2 model (T190S O2)

All models have a 190 litre temperature controlled chamber. Temperature can be controlled
from 5°C above ambient to 60°C.

CO2 levels within the chamber can be controlled from atmospheric levels to 20%.

O2 levels within the chamber can be controlled from 19% down to 1%

A water tray in the base of the chamber provides humidity levels of 90%.

Independent circuits control door and base temperature.

The T190S has a boost heater circuit that provides a 200°C sterilisation cycle. Magnetic
door locks and cooling fans are activated during sterilisation.

The incubators are controlled using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This has a 3.5
inch LCD colour touch screen.

This shows Process Values, Set Points and alarm conditions. A utility menu allows the user
to change set points, acknowledge and set alarms and view event logs and graphs.

Chamber temperature is monitored using a PT100 sensor. Two additional sensors are used
for base and door temperature control.

CO2 levels are monitored using a flow through sensor mounted on the rear of the incubator
outside of the chamber. This helps during sterilisation as the probe can remain in place.

O2 levels are controlled using an O2 cell mounted on the rear of incubator outside of the
chamber. This helps during sterilisation as the probe can remain in place.

The CO2 system is designed to sample the chamber atmosphere which is passed through a
diaphragm pump. This then flows through the CO2 PCB sensor and returned to the
chamber.

The O2 system is fitted in series with the CO2 system.

A password protected engineering menu allows the Service Engineer to calibrate and tune
the incubator.

The incubator should be maintained regularly and Hepa filter changed every 6-9 months.

A recalibration should be yearly with results and changes added to the back of this manual.

3. Temperature control system:

3.1 Overview:

Three independent heating circuits are used to control the chamber temperature. These are
the chamber, base and door circuits. Each has its own temperature probe and PID control
loop.

The chamber circuit provides the primary control of the chamber temperature. It consists of a
single heating element wound around all sides of the chamber bowl. Temperature is
measured with a PT100 probe mounted inside the chamber.

The base circuit has a heating element on the chamber base directly below the water tray.
The primary function of this circuit is to control the temperature of the water tray in order to
regulate the humidity level within the chamber. Temperature is measured using a PT100
probe mounted on the underside of the chamber base.

The door circuit consists of a door heater element connected in series with the fascia heater
element. This provides extra heat to the glass door to prevent condensation and help
temperature convection. Temperature is measured using a thermocouple mounted within the
heated door panel.

3.2 Chamber circuit:

The chamber controls have been balanced to provide optimal temperature uniformity at
37.0°C.

Temperature control is possible from 5°C above ambient temperature to 60°C. At the far
ends of this scale the control settings will need to be rebalanced to give a better uniformity.

3.3 Base circuit:

The base circuit keeps the temperature of the water tray just below the chamber
temperature. This creates a cool spot in which excess humidity within the chamber
condenses, keeping it away from the walls and glass door.

The incubator is factory set to provide a relative humidity level of 90% ±5%. The temperature
of the tray can be altered in the engineering menu.

Increasing the temperature will increase humidity levels but will also stop the water
condensing back in to the tray. The next coolest area within the chamber will start to
condensate.

Decreasing the temperature will decrease the humidity level.

Caution: Changing the tray temperature can affect the temperature uniformity within the
chamber. Even small changes can have large effects.

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 7 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

3.4 Door circuit:

The door circuit keeps the temperature of the glass door close to chamber set point. This
adds the heat required to keep a uniform temperature and convection inside and stops
condensation on the glass door.

The door heater element is connected in series with the fascia heater element. The fascia
heater counteracts any heat loss from around the magnetic door gasket and material heat
sink losses

The temperature of the door heater can be adjusted in the engineering menu. Increasing the
value will remove any excess condensation. A low or unstable external ambient temperature
is the main cause for glass door condensation.

Caution: Changing the door temperature can affect the temperature uniformity within the
chamber. Even small changes can have large effects.

3.5 Door and base boost:

The base and door can have a temperature boost to aid recovery after a door opening. This
can be changed in the engineering menu. The base boost is set at 0°c, this would increase
humidity recovery. The door boost is also set at 0°c and would aid condensation but during
tests, it was found not to be needed and would rarely be required.

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 8 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

4. Gas control system:

4.1 CO2 Overview:

The CO2 level within the chamber can be controlled between 0.0% (atmospheric level) and
20%.

A CO2 (vapour withdrawal) supply is passed through a HEPA disc filter which is connected to
a 24VDC solenoid valve. A PID control loop pulses this valve on and off until the required set
point is reached.

A diaphragm pump is used to sample the chamber gases. A heated tubing system supplies
the gas to and from the CO2 PCB. The tubing is heated to prevent any condensation forming
along its length and passing through the CO2 sensor.

The PCB CO2 sensor has barbed fittings for the tubing to attach. The PCB is electrically
wired direct to the controller giving a 4-20mA output.

The CO2 sensor can remain in position when the unit is put into it’s sterilise cycle. This is
because it is mounted externally from the chamber. When cycle is activated, the CO2 pump
system is disabled. This will prevent internal component damage from high temperatures.

The CO2 sensor transmits the signal and the controller displays the reading to the nearest
0.1%. I.e. 4.95 is displayed as 5%. 4.94 is displayed as 4.9%.

4.2 O2 Overview: If applicable

In order to control O2 lower than the 20.9% in the atmosphere we cannot use CO2. This is
because this is already being controlled. We have to purge N2 into the system. This will
lower the O2 levels whilst controlling CO2 at the same time

The O2 level within the chamber can be controlled from 19% O2 levels down to 1%. The unit
cannot operate outside these levels.

The O2 sensor is mounted externally from the chamber is fitted in series with the CO 2 tubing
system. This is connected through expansion modules for the controller to read the signal.
The sensor signal output is 0.195 - 0.25 mA in air.

A nitrogen (vapour withdrawal) supply is passed through a separate HEPA disc filter and a
separate port in to the rear of the unit. This is then connected through a 24VDC solenoid
valve. An independent PID control loop controls the injection of the nitrogen gas in order to
lower the O2 levels to the set point.

Both CO2 and O2 have separate control loop systems. This includes separate inlet ports for
CO2 and nitrogen gas. The unit will not control both set points from just 1 gas injection type.
Also the gas has to be connected to the correct inlet port, they will not control if you put them
on the incorrect inlet port (labelled on the back cover). The stability will take longer than just
the CO2 controlled systems. This is because the unit is trying to stabilise two separate gases
with two separate gas injections at the same time.

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 9 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

The O2 sensor has a shelf life of 1 year. Also the O2 cell deteriorates over time dependant on
its usage at lower O2 levels. The lower the level of O2 sampling the greater the cell is being
used, therefore faster deterioration. This is a consumable part and should be on service
schedule. The complete O2 assembly should be replaced not just the cell.

The O2 unit can be used as a CO2 unit only, but in order for the unit to operate correctly the
setup parameters require changing and the O2 needs to be disabled. The humidity will
dramatically increase because the unit will not have any nitrogen injection. The base and
door control offsets require setting up (see section 8.3). This data is stored if required. The
unit can be setup on site by the end user if the data isn’t available.

5. Sterilise control system. T190S models only

5.1 Overview:

The Touch 190S model has a boost heater circuit. This allows the chamber to reach 200°C.

The boost element consists of two separate elements on each side of the chamber.

When the units sterilise cycle starts, these elements are connected in parallel with the
chamber, base and door/fascia elements. At the same time two magnetic locks are activated
preventing the outer door from being accidentally opened. Cooling fans within the outer door
are used to prevent the PLC overheating.

The incubator takes approximately 60 minutes to reach 200°C. It then holds the chamber at
this temperature for 2 hours after which the cool down cycle starts.

All heating circuits are disconnected and the chamber is allowed to cool down naturally until
the temperature reaches 38°C. The magnetic locks and door cooling fans stay on until the
incubator is cool.

The cool down time is not controllable. It takes around 4 hours but a high ambient
temperature and the location of the incubator can extend this time.

7. Calibration
7.1 Offsets.

The engineering menu allows the user to calibrate the incubator by adjusting the chamber
temperature and CO2 offsets.

The incubator is factory calibrated by LEEC using test equipment certified to National
Standards. LEEC recommend that any field calibration is carried out to similar standards.

Chamber temperature offset value.

CO2 chamber offset value.

7.2 Temperature calibration.

The incubator should be switched on and allowed to stabilise for 24 hours.

If there is any offsets for Chamber and CO2 then record these values in the back of this
manual and set these to 0.0.

Single point calibration - Place a calibrated temperature probe in the centre of the second
shelve. Or:

4 point calibration - Place a calibrated probe in the middle of each of the 4 shelves. Use
the 2nd shelf as your calibration probe.

Close the door and allow the temperature to stabilise for 2 hours.

When the controller reading has stabilised at set point e.g. 37.0°C take a reading from the
calibration probe. The difference in these readings is the offset required.

Example 1: Example 2:

Incubator controller is reading 37.0°C Incubator controller is reading 37.0°C

Calibration probe is reading 37.3°C Calibration probe is reading 36.6°C

Calibration probe - incubator reading = Calibration probe - incubator reading = offset.

offset.
36.6 – 37.0 = -0.4°C
37.3 – 37.0 = +0.3°C

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 24 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

4 point calibration is to set the incubator up in its environment. Each probe gives you a
temperature reading at each level of the incubator. Between all 4 temperature points there
should be no more than ±0.25°c. ie the top shelve being 37.2°c and the bottom shelve being
36.7°c. so this is a 0.5°c span.

Adjustments for temperature (this also effects humidity and condensation)

If the span is greater than the 0.5°c then small adjustments can be made to the door and
the base offsets.

For example

Span 0.7°c. Top shelve is ok but the bottom shelve low. No condensation in the incubator.

Action – Increase the base off1 and off2 (see section 6.3.4) by 0.2°c and leave for another
1 hour to retake the temperature. Only increase in small amounts as this does increase the
humidity in the incubator.

Or span 0.6°c top shelve warm and the bottom shelve ok. No condensation in the
incubator.

Action – Decrease the door off1 and off2 (see section 6.3.5) by 0.2°c and leave for another
1 hour to retake the temperature. Only decrease in small amounts as condensation can form
on the glass door.

Changing the base and door offsets effects humidity, condensation and temperature. In
changing the settings a balance for all three parameters need to be considered. This is all
affected by the environment the incubator is located (see section 8.1).

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 25 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

7.3 CO2 calibration:

CO2 readings are always carried out after the temperature has been calibrated.

When the controller CO2 reading has settled at the set point e.g. 5.0%, connect a calibrated

7.4 O2 Calibration

The O2 system needs to be calibrated separate to the CO2 setup. Also if you want to use
your machine as a CO2 only unit then the humidity will dramatically increase. The factory
stores both setup conditions but changes can be made on site.

 Set the CO2 set point to 0.0%.

 Go into the utility menu and select O2.

 Make sure that the oxygen control is disabled. Set the oxygen set point to
21.0%

 Open door for 2 minutes to make sure that system is purged with air. Then
close the doors
 Leave incubator to stabilise for 5 hours minimum.
 Connect gases to the incubator.

 Go into the utility menu again and select O2, press CAL.

 Change true O2 reference to 20.9%. Press and hold calibrate. The true reading
is now stored.

 Enable oxygen control in utility menu. Change O2 set point to 5.0%.

 Leave to stabilise for 2 hours

 Check the O2 level with an external analyser through the sampling port on the
rear of the incubator.
 Set the CO2 set point and begin to use the incubator.

7.5 Humidity calibration.

The humidity is calibrated closer to the front of shelve 2, at least 100mm from the glass
door. This is the same shelve the temperature datum probe is taken from.

The incubator needs to be turned on with the humidity probe inserted for 12 hours to get
the base RH of the incubator. Leave at least 3 hours between each setting change before
another change can be made.

Once a base RH has been recorded, setting changes can be made to the base off1 & off2
offsets if required.
Please take into account the incubators location (see section 8.1) and condensation points
(see section 8.3).

If the RH is low i.e. 84% If the RH is high i.e 91%

Then increase both off1 & off2 by 0.5°c Then decrease the off1 & off2 by -0.5°c

We recommend an RH level of around 87% for a condensation free incubator in most

external environmental conditions.
Usually a 0.2°c change of off1 and off2 relates to a 1% change in RH.

7.6 Safety tests.

To carry out safety tests, a competent staff member who can operate the equipment and
understands what the safety tests are used for and the implications of not carrying out these
tests correctly. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

The tests have 5 different stages. Record all results with the date and retest date

 Earth bond test – This is to test whether there is a circuit through the machine
back to earth.

 Insulation test – A high voltage low current supply is passed through the
machine to test any insulation breakdowns. A high resistance above 2 mega
ohms should be given or even an open circuit.

 Earth leakage test – This is a test for unwanted current flow to earth.

 Load test – A current test showing the amperes of the unit during normal
conditions.

 Sterilise load test – This is the same as a load test but the unit is put into the
sterilse cycle to show the full amperes of the unit.

These tests are carried out as part of the factory test procedure before despatch.

b) Insulation test MΩ

c) Earth leakage test mA

d) Load test mA

e) Touch current test mA

7.7 Setting up the incubator after calibration.

The unit is setup up by the manufacturer. If the environmental conditions (see section 8)
are not ideal for the incubator then small adjustments may need to be made.

7.7.1 Temperature span setup

The temperature span should not be more than 0.5°c between all four probe readings.

Issue 4 Nov 2012 Page 30 of 71

 Culture Safe Touch 190 Range Service Manual Rev 2

The settings that will need to be adjusted are in the engineering menu. (see section 6.2)

In the base and door PID menus changing the off1 & off2 settings will adjust temperature,
humidity and condensation.
Example
The temperature span is greater than 0.5°c. The top shelf is 37.5°c and the bottom shelf
is 36.7°c. Decrease the door off1 & off2 by 0.2°c (see section 6.1.2)

See section 7.2 for temperature calibration.

7.7.2 Humidity

To calibrate the humidity, off1 & off2 in the base PID menu (see section 6.2.) will control how
much RH is added to the chamber. Increasing this setting value will increase the RH.
Decreasing it will decrease the RH.

See example in section 7.5.

7.7.3 Condensation

For condensation issues, setting changes depend on where the condensation is

collecting. See section 8.3 for fault finding and see section 7.2 and 7.5 for calibration.

See the table below to see what each offset change affects the incubator conditions.

8. Fault finding
8.1 Pre checks to diagnose fault – Carry out pre checks before flows are
used.

 The incubator needs to be 50mm away from walls and 100mm from the rear.

 The incubator needs to be located away from any heat or cold sources i.e.
equipment, direct flow from any air conditioning, radiators or sunlight.

 The incubator needs to be located in a no draft location – airflow can cause

incorrect readings from the probes causing many different faults.

8.3 Condensation issues

 Has the door been closed for 48 hours or more, if so, the condensation you have
is normal. So check this before making any changes.

Pre checks are the same as section 8.1.1. Carry these out before any
changes.

 The incubator needs to be 50mm away from walls and 100mm from the rear.

 The incubator needs to be located away from any heat or cold sources i.e.
equipment, direct flow from any air conditioning, radiators or sunlight.

 The incubator needs to be located in a no draft location – airflow can cause

incorrect readings from the probes causing many different faults.

Criteria to follow below.

 To carry out these adjustments, the base boost function (section 6.3.1) needs to
be changed to 0°c for 0 mins. This will prevent the base from producing too
much humidity during adjustments. Once the adjustments have been made this
can be reverted back to its original settings.

 If the condensation is only a mist then the glass door can remain closed during
the adjustment changes for a maximum period of 48 hours.

 The glass door needs to be wiped clear after each adjustment if the
condensation is severe.

Adjustments for each flow box

 Adjustment 1- Increase door off1 and off2 by +0.5°c until droplets have
changed to small misting. Do not increase above +5°c (see section 6.3.5)

 Adjustment 2- Increase door off1 and off2 by +0.2°c until small misting is clear.
do not increase above +5°c. (see section 6.3.5)

 Adjustment 3- Decrease base off1 and off2 by -0.5°c until humidity drops or
condensation decreases to a mist. Do not decrease below -5°c (see section
6.3.4)

 Adjustment 4- Decrease base off1 and off2 by -0.2°c until humidity drops or
condensation clears. Do not decrease below -5°c. (see section 6.3.4)

 Adjustment 5- Decrease door off1 and off2 by -0.5°c until droplets on the back
and sides have changed to small misting. Do not decrease below +1°c.

 Adjustment 6- Decrease door off1 and off2 by -0.2 until small misting has
cleared from the back and side walls. Do not decrease below +1°c.
