Preliminary Cleaning
Your new environmental chamber was thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving the factory.
It is recommended, however, to clean all interior surfaces with a general purpose
laboratory cleaning agent to remove any shipping dust or dirt prior to using the product.
Contact Caron if there is any doubt of the compatibility of the cleaning agent being
used with the chamber. After cleaning, dry all interior components with a sterile cloth
as necessary.

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 and for installation of other equipment
inside the chamber.

R290 REFRIGERANT UNITS

DANGER – Flammable Refrigerant Used. Risk of fire or


explosion.
 No equipment that uses an open flame should be placed
inside the unit.
 Do not use instrumentation or equipment that
incorporates potential ignition sources, e.g. open contact
switching, brushed DC and AC motors, etc.
 Do not use electrical appliances within the unit, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 13 of 95
These ports should be sealed with the provided rubber stoppers to allow the chamber to
function properly. Install the stoppers provided in the port on each side of the unit.

Installing the Shelves


Each new 7000-25 Series environmental chamber includes 4 perforated stainless steel
shelves. Each new 7000-33 Series environmental chamber includes five perforated
stainless steel shelves. Each shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. The left
and right shelf tracks are the same. Prior to installation, take time to consider what the
size of the product being placed in the chamber will be and set the shelf spacing
accordingly. Additional shelving can be purchased through CARON customer service if
necessary. The chamber should be empty when being moved.
To install the shelf channels insert the rear tab on the shelf channel into the rear wall on
the side wall of the chamber. Then insert the front tab into the front pilaster. Push the
entire shelf channel towards the rear of the unit and snap it down into place.

Shelf capacity: each perforated shelf is capable of supporting


a uniformly distributed load of 50 lbs, maximum chamber
capacity is 500 pounds (stationary).
Standard shelving not suitable for shakers over the weight of
30lbs, and have a .75” orbit.
Optional reinforced shelving is available for supporting heavy
loads such as shakers or cell rollers up to 150lbs.
Max shaker speed with reinforced shelves is 250 RPM.

Chamber should be empty when being moved.

Do not have multiple loaded shelves out simultaneously or the


chamber may tip.
7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 14 of 95
Leveling the Unit

Place a level on the middle shelf of the incubator. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit
sits level left to right and front to back. 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.

Connecting the Drain Line

When using a pressurized water source, failure to connect


the unit to a drain could result in facility flooding.

The chamber drain connection is located in the bottom middle of the back of the
chamber. A 3/8” tube fitting, tubing and wire ties are supplied in the unit parts kit.

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 15 of 95


Insert the tube fitting into the tubing, secure tubing to fitting with provided wire tie.
Insert fitting into drain connection.
Pull on the tubing after installation to make sure it is secure. Route the drain tubing to
a local floor drain. Duplicate fitting installation on other end of tubing if necessary.

The drain line relies on gravity to remove water from the


chamber. The drain line must remain below the chamber
to drain properly. Kinks or elevations in the drain line
above the cabinet drain will not allow the chamber to drain.

If a local floor drain is not available, a variety of accessories are available through
CARON customer service. These accessories can also be viewed at
[Link].

For non-humidified chambers operated above 15°C, a drain is not needed. Install the
3/8” plug into the drain connection.

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 16 of 95

the chamber temperature is above 4.5ºC (except during a defrost cycle), the defrost
system is disabled automatically.

When the defrost system is enabled (below 4.5ºC), a defrost cycle will occur once every
12 hours (DEFR306) or every 96 hours (7900/7901) and lasts for about 20 minutes.
During the defrost cycle, the chamber temperature will increase several degrees above
setpoint to melt any ice that has formed on the evaporator. This temperature ‘spike’ is
normal and assures long-term operation.

Operation of the Data Logger (DLOG301)

The DLOG301 option provides the customer with a means of logging data electronically
for viewing at a later date. Logged variables are Temperature, Humidity, CO 2 and Light
Intensity (but only if the chamber is equipped with those features.) All data is time-
stamped with year, month, day of the month, hour, minute, 24 hour time (ISO 8601
format). This data is stored internally in the chamber in non-volatile memory.

Note: The date and time are logged within the actual file name. The file’s “Date
modified” field is not maintained and therefore may not reflect the actual date and
time the file was created.

Data is logged every 5 minutes (provided the chamber is on); more than 10 years of data
can be stored in memory. If the internal memory fills up, new data overwrites the oldest
data.

Continuous writing to the flash drive necessitates a high quality


industrial grade device. Use only the flash drive provided by
Caron (or equivalent: single level cell memory, wear leveling
algorithms, error correcting code).

File name format is “DATE START YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM_.csv” (hours in 24 hour time)


When the chamber is on, the chamber’s history data is being stored even when a flash
drive is not inserted in the USB port. This data may be retrieved anytime using the
provided USB flash drive.

Here are the methods for retrieving data:

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 28 of 95


Continuous logging of data

Insert the flash drive into the chamber’s USB port. When first inserted, it creates a
.csv file called ‘DATA START’ with the current date and time in the file name. At 5
min intervals, the chamber’s process values are appended to the file. (The file will
get as large as the flash drive, permitting several years of uninterrupted data
storage.)

USB icon

USB icon appears in in Status bar indicating that data is being written to flash drive.
To retrieve the data, press the ‘Eject’ button, then insert the flash drive into a
computer to upload the data.
Upon re-insertion of the flash drive, a new .csv file is created, even if the old file is
still present. File name nomenclature is “DATE START YYYY-MM-DDTHH-
MM_.csv”.

History Retrieval
Auto Export

Select the ‘Auto Export’ feature on the USB menu screen. Insert the flash drive
into the chamber’s USB port. A new .csv file is automatically created on the flash
drive with all the stored history data. The file name nomenclature is “DATE END
YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM_.csv”.

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 29 of 95


All Data

There is also an ‘All Data’ feature to indicate if the upload should include all data
(since the unit has been used) or just the history data since a flash drive was last
inserted. An ‘Info’ button will appear in the status bar warning the user not to
remove the flash drive while the data is being uploaded. The length of time to
upload the file will depend on the file size. When the ‘Info’ button disappears from
the status bar, press the ‘Eject’ button to safely remove the flash drive. Now the
data can be uploaded to a computer for viewing.

When using the Continuous Logging of Data method, nothing on the touchscreen
has to be setup. However, using the History Retrieval method will require going
into the USB screen to select either the ‘Auto Export’ or ‘All Data’ buttons before
inserting flash drive into USB port.

Operation of Front Mounted 6” Recorders (RCDR316, RCDR317)

Built in 6” ink pen temperature recorders can be purchased with CARON chambers. The
recorders are shipped installed on the outer door of the chamber from the factory and
require no installation.

Changing the chart paper:


Pen
cartridge
Chart paper
Recorder
control
buttons

Hub knob Pen arm

Backup
battery

Press and hold the “change chart” button on the recorder (#3) for approximately one
second until the pen begins to move to the left of the chart and then release the button.
Wait until the pen has completely moved off of the chart. To remove the chart paper,
unscrew (counter-clockwise) the chart “hub” knob at the center of the chart. Remove
the old chart paper and position the new one so that the correct line coincides with the
time line groove on the chart plate.

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 42 of 95


Re-attach the chart “hub” knob and fasten securely against the chart. Press and hold
the “change chart” button (#3) again for approximately one second until the pen begins
to move back onto the chart and then release the button. Check to make sure that the
pen is marking on the chart paper. If it is not, then carefully adjust the pen arm to
establish contact with the paper.

Chart recorder marking system:

This type of pen consists of a self-contained ink reservoir with a porous plastic stylus
which is snapped around the outer edge of the metal pen arm. A pen cap is provided to
extend the life of the ink pen during shipping or when the recording unit is not in
service.
To remove the pen cap, gently lift the pen arm away from the chart paper. Remove the
black plastic pen cap to expose the fiber tip of the ink pen and gently place the pen back
onto the chart paper. Do not let the pen arm "snap" back onto the chart paper. This will
flatten the fiber tip of the pen and will no longer give you a fine line marking on the chart
paper. Place the pen cap in a safe place for future use. If the stylus does not touch the
chart, adjustment can be made by slightly bending the metal pen arm in the center
towards the chart paper. Do not use more pressure than is necessary to create a fine
line marking on the chart paper. As the pen ink supply runs out, the pen color will
become lighter. This indicates that the pen should be replaced.

Replacement of the Pen:

Recorders that are equipped with fiber tipped cartridge pens will have a cartridge that is
color coded "red" to designate pen number one and an optional cartridge that is color
coded "blue" to designate pen number two. The pen cartridge is securely fastened
to the metal pen arm using a special "U" clip tab. For ease of replacement, it is suggested
that the two screws that hold the pen arm be loosened and the pen cartridge and metal
pen arm be removed as an assembly. Unsnap the plastic "U" clip tab of the pen cartridge
from the metal pen arm, remove and discard the old pen cartridge. Replace the new
cartridge by opening the hinge and snapping it securely around the metal pen arm. Refer
to the image below:

Pen Arm Calibration:

7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 43 of 95


To check and/or adjust the recording pen(s) calibration to the outer most temperature
graduation of the chart, press and hold the "change chart" button (#3) until the pen
begins to move off of the chart. Once the pen(s) has moved off of the chart, again press
and hold the "change chart" button (#3) until the pen begins to move back onto the chart.
The pen should briefly stop at the outer most temperature graduation of the chart before
continuing onto the chart to begin recording. If the pen does not stop exactly at this
location on the chart, it can be adjusted or "calibrated" by using the left (#1) or right (#2)
arrow buttons.

When the pen moves back onto the chart and briefly stops, you will have approximately
five seconds in which to adjust the pen’s position using the left and right arrow buttons
of Figure 3.

On multiple pen recorders, each pen will move (one at-a-time) onto the chart briefly
stopping at the outer most temperature graduation of the chart at which time the pen’s
position can be adjusted by using the left (#1) or right (#2) arrow buttons. When the time
to adjust the position of the first pen has expired, the second pen will move onto the chart
briefly stopping at the outer most temperature graduation of the chart at which time the
second pen’s position may be adjusted.

Each time the chart paper or fiber tip pen cartridge is changed, you should make sure
that each pen stops at the outer most temperature graduation of the chart paper.
Otherwise, this pen offset will cause the unit to record an incorrect temperature on the
chart.

Recorder Calibration:

If a calibration adjustment is required for a single pen recorder, use the left (#1) and
right (#2) arrow push buttons on the recorder to calibrate (or move) the pen’s position
on the chart to correspond to the temperature of the solution. The arrow buttons must
be held for approximately five seconds before the pen will begin to move.

For two pen recorders, you must first select the pen that you wish to calibrate. This is
done by pressing the left (#1) arrow button to select the red pen or the right (#2) arrow
button to select the blue pen. The arrow button must be held down until the green LED
light goes out. After the green LED light goes out, follow the instructions in step #3
above.

Battery Backup:

The green LED light remains a constant green color indicating that both the battery and
the main power to the unit are good. Refer to Figure 5 for the location of the green LED
indicating light. If the AC power were to fail or the battery becomes weak, then the green
LED light will begin "flashing" indicating that either you have lost the main power to the
7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 44 of 95
unit or it is time to replace the battery. Having a 9 volt DC battery back-up in place, will
allow the recorder to continue to function normally for approximately 24 hours in the
event of a power failure.

Operation of Front Mounted 10” Recorders (RCDR318, RCDR319)

Built in 10” thermal pen recorders can be purchased with CARON chambers. The
recorders are shipped installed on the outer door of the chamber from the factory and
require no further installation. Unlike ink pen recorders, the thermal recorders draw their
own chart and control lines.

The 10” recorders have been setup at the factory in the following configuration: 7 Day /
24 Hour / Temperature 0-100°C. If this is not the ideal configuration for an application,
the recorder may be reconfigured using the following process:

Configuring the recorder:

In order to configure the recorder, you will need to enter the set-up mode of the recorder.
To enter the set-up mode of the recorder, press and hold the Change Chart button (#3)
until the thermal pen arm begins to move off scale and then release the button. Similar
to the 6” recorder.

Note: The green LED light will flash fast while the thermal pen arm is moving off scale.

Wait until the thermal pen arm has moved completely off scale and stops (the green LED
light will stop flashing and will be steady On). Unscrew (counter clockwise) the chart
"hub" knob at the center of the chart and remove the recording chart paper. Gently lift
the thermal pen arm just enough to be able to slide the paper out from beneath it.
Remove the recording chart paper and place the Setup Chart onto the recorder.
This chart contains the configuration categories of the recorder (Probe Input, Inner Chart
Temperature, Outer Chart Temperature, Temperature Scale, Chart Rotation Speed,
Input Filtering, Optional Relay Contacts and Date/Time for internal clock).
Next, press and hold either button #1 or #2 until the green LED light goes out and release
the button. If this step is successfully completed, the pen arm will move to the outermost
graduation ring of the Setup Chart. Use the Left (#1) or Right (#2) arrow buttons to adjust
the center of the thermal pen to be on this outermost graduation ring.

Position the Setup Chart so that the tip of the thermal pen is in the center of the Start
circle. Tighten the chart hub knob to secure the chart in place. Next, press and release
the Change Chart button to begin. The chart will rotate to the first category (Input #1).
Use the Left and Right arrow buttons to move the thermal pen arm to the desired option
of each category. Press and release the Change Chart button to accept the selection
and advance to the next category. You must press and release the Change Chart button
when you have finished configuring the last category in order to save all of the changes
7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 45 of 95
that have been made to the recorder's configuration. The thermal pen arm will move off
of the chart allowing you to place the recording chart paper onto the recorder. Press and
release the Change Chart button to begin recording.

Changing the Chart Paper:

Press and hold the Change Chart button (#3) for approximately one (1) second until the
pen begins to move off scale and then release the button.

Note: The green LED light will flash fast while the thermal pen arm is moving off scale.

Wait until the thermal pen arm has moved completely off scale and stops (the green LED
light will stop flashing and will be steady ”On”). To remove the chart paper, unscrew
(counter clockwise) the chart "hub" knob at the center of the chart. Gently lift the thermal
pen arm just enough to be able to slide the paper out from beneath it. Remove the old
recording chart paper and position a new one.

Re-attach the chart "hub" knob and screw securely (by hand) against the chart. Press
and hold the Change Chart button (#3) again for approximately one (1) second and the
thermal pen arm will move back onto the chart and begin recording.

Green Light LED Status:

The green LED light (located just below the three button membrane switch) is used to
show the recorder's status:

1.) LED on steady (not flashing) and input(s) recording within chart range, indicates unit
is recording normally.
2.) LED on steady (not flashing) and pen arm above outermost graduation and not
moving, indicates recorder is in Change Chart mode. Press and release Change Chart
button to return to normal recording mode.

3.) LED flashing rapidly and one or both inputs recording at outermost or innermost
graduation indicates a sensor break. Check or replace sensor(s). If sensor(s) are ok,
make sure process temperature is within configured range of recorder.

4.) LED flashing slowly (.8 seconds ON / .8 seconds OFF) indicates recorder is in
Set-Up mode. Refer to section CONFIGURING THE RECORDER.

5.) LED is Off indicates that there is no power to the recorder. Check A/C power to the
recorder.

Recorder Calibration:
7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 46 of 95
If calibration is required for single input recorders, use the Left (#1) and Right (#2)
arrow buttons on the recorder to calibrate the temperature being recorded on the chart
to correspond to the temperature of the solution. The arrow buttons must be held for
approximately eight (8) seconds before the pen begins to move.

If calibration is required for dual input recorders, you must first select the input that you
wish to calibrate. This is done by pressing and holding the Left (#1) arrow button to
select Input #1 or the Right (#2) arrow button to select Input #2. The arrow button must
be held down until the green LED light turns off, after which follow the instructions in
single input instructions above.

Maximizing Pen Life:

In order to maximize the amount of life expected out of the thermal pen tip, follow these
simple rules:

1) Never let the thermal pen tip ride on the chart plate when the chart paper is not
present. This will damage the protective coating of the heating element.

2) Never use chart paper that is creased or that has been folded.

3) Periodically clean the thermal pen tip with a cotton swap dipped in alcohol. Clean
more often when operating the recorder in a dusty environment.

4) Always keep the door closed while the unit is recording.

5) Never lift the pen arm more than is necessary to remove and replace the chart
paper. Excessive lifting may cause a decrease in the pen tip pressure and cause light
printing.

Operation of 10” Side Mounted Recorders (RCDR320, RCDR321)

Side mounted Honeywell DR 4300 General Purpose Circular Chart Recorders are also
available with CARON chambers. This chart recorder uses reliable microprocessor

CALIBRATION

The temperature system can be calibrated as necessary. CARON recommends an


annual calibration check of each system. Before making a calibration adjustment, allow
the cabinet to stabilize a minimum of 12 hours from a power off condition. If the unit has
been in operation, allow a minimum of 3 hours of stable operation at all setpoints.

If you do not have the appropriate reference instruments to perform calibration, contact
CARON’s service department for on-site calibration at [Link] Caron
also provides validation services which ensure that the unit is functioning properly
according to IQ, OQ and PQ protocols which satisfy FDA guidelines for qualification
verification of equipment.

Be sure that all reference instruments are

Temperature calibration (example)

If the chamber temperature display reads 40.0C and the calibrated independent
sensor shows 40.3C, set the temperature offset value to 0.3C. If the calibrated
independent sensor shows 39.6C, then the entered offset should be negative. In this
example the required offset to temperature would be -0.4C.

ALARMS

Alarm System Overview

The chamber control system is equipped with an alarm system that constantly monitors
temperature to ensure the user is notified if the cabinet goes into an alarm condition.
Notification occurs via an alarm pop-up window and a buzzer. Each alarm condition has
been factory programmed to minimize nuisance alarms while maximizing warning time.
There is a 2 hour time delay after start-up and setpoint changes. To avoid nuisance
alarms after a routine door opening, an alarm condition must be present for 15 minutes*
before the operator is alerted. If the optional remote alarm contacts are present, in an
alarm condition, the dry contacts will change state.

*Alarm delays are adjustable, see “Changing Alarm Setpoints and Delay” for details.

The following alarm messages may be displayed:


 Chamber temperature is higher than setpoint temperature
 Chamber temperature is lower than setpoint temperature
 Temperature sensor error

In the event an alarm occurs, the alarm indicator will appear on the status bar and an
audible alarm pop-up window will automatically appear.

Audible Alarm Snooze Function:

When in an alarm condition, the Audible Alarm can be temporarily silenced to avoid
being a nuisance to those nearby. The Audible Alarm will repeat after 1 hour has
passed, if the condition has not been corrected. (The audible alarm will not sound if the
alarm is muted, see Audible Alarm Mute)

Press the (Snooze) button, the audible alarm is silenced for a period of 60
minutes.

When the alarm condition is corrected the alarm indicator and the audible alarm will
automatically turn off (unless there is another alarm condition).

To check what the alarm condition is, press the (Alarm) button on the status bar.

and the alarm window will be displayed. If the (Snooze) button has already
been pushed and 60 minutes have not passed the Snooze button will be “greyed” out.

If you press the (Close Window) button, the Alarm Window will close, but the
alarm will still be present as a flashing alarm icon on the status bar for the remainder of
the 60 minutes time. It will not reset the 60 minutes alarm countdown time if the alarm
condition is viewed on the pop up window.

After the 60 minutes time has passed for an alarm condition, the counter will reset itself
to 60 minutes and repeat the countdown process again until the alarm has been
resolved.

Audible Alarm Mute:


7000-25-33 Series Operations Manual Rev Z 07-13-22 Page 55 of 95
By factory default, when an alarm condition is present, the speaker will sound. This
speaker can be muted in an ‘on/off’ fashion eliminating all audible sounds. (Muting the
speaker will silence it until manually ‘un-muted’. This is different than ‘snooze’ in the
fact that snooze can only be enabled when an alarm condition is present and only lasts
for 1 hour.) When the speaker is muted, the alarm icon continues to flash and the
remote alarm contacts (optional) remain in the ‘alarm’ state.

To mute the speaker:
