3 Function
Incubators series CB are suited for cultivation of mammal cells under typical conditions of about 37°C.
The incubator allows the set defined pH conditions by justifying NaHCO3 buffer systems of commercial
cell media by keeping exact CO2-atmosphere inside. CB incubators care for high humidity inside to
avoid increasing of the osmolarity caused by evaporation of the cell media. To reach this, the different
functions heating, sterilization and CO2 injection have to work as a perfect team. This know-how is as
Firmware inside the controller type MB1.
3.1 The CO2-measuring principle
The CO2-measuring procedure of the incubator series CB is characterized by fast reaction times, as
well as the highest accuracy and selectivity. The accuracy of the CO2 measuring system bases on a
single-beam infrared measuring cell, which measures in di fferential mode, with permanently
alternating transmission characteristic of its semi-conductor filter. Due to this highly developed single beam principle with Fabry -Perot interferometer (FPI), disturbance variables and aging phenomena in
the measuring system are almost completely eliminated, so that this measuring system, in contrast to
other measuring procedures, remains practically drift -free between calibrations and is absolutely
selective for CO2.
The CO2–measuring cell contains a measuring section ins ide in which the absorption of infrared light
depends on the number of CO2-molecules in the beam path. This number of CO2 –molecules changes
with the ambient pressure in relation to a constant volume. The distances between the molecules are
consequently pr essure-dependent. The collision frequency of the IR-beam with CO2-molecules
increases therefore by increasing pressure.
For this reason, the ambient pressure must be compensated in order to correct the display reading of
the CO2-concentration in VOL. -%. This is achieved by entering the altitude of the site above the sea
which is described in this manual.
3.2 Function of the Heating System
The temperature measurement is realized by a PT100 temperature probe which changes his resistance
at different temperatures . For example: 37°C = 114,380 Ω (see following chart).
The CB is equipped with a double PT100, one part is for the measurement inside the chamber, the
other part is connected to the safety device class 3.1.
The measured value is evaluated in the controller MB1. The controller MB1 compares the set -value
and the now measured value and decides to give a signal-current to the solid state relay –4K3 to
activate the heating.

3.3 Flow-Chart of the heating function (basis CB 150 wiring diagram)
The Pt100 temperature probe is equipped with 3 cables, two red and one white cable.
The white cable is connected to pin 1 at E1 – Pt100, the two red cables at pin’s 2 and 3 at E1 – Pt100.
To measure the resistance disconnect all three cables from the controller an measure between the
white cable and one of the red cables, do not measure between both red cables.

3.7 Function of the Permadry® system
Isotonic osmotic pressure ratios, essential for the growth of cells, are basically maintained in CO2
incubators by a maximum humidity content in the inner chamber. During this process care must be
taken to ensure the best possible protection against contamination.
The patented Permadry® system guarantees a humidity performance of up to 98% relative humidity
with completely dry inner walls. The principle hereof is totally easy. The double basin system consists
of a large-surface warm water basin an a cold water basin as defined condensation point. The
temperatures of both basins are in that way controlled that the humidification and the dehumidification
are permanently balanced. The Permadry® system works completely free of disturbances or
maintenance. The handling of the Permadry® system is the easiest thing and as safe as a coffee cup.
The basin is easily removable and can be refilled in or at the unit at any time.
Cold air, produced by the Permadry® -fan, streams through the air -channel and cools the round cold
water basin. The condensation point is fixed by this.
The Permadry® water basin must be placed correctly. There is a description „FRONT“ impressed.

3.9 Description of the Function of the Fan Control
The CB heats up to the engaged set -value (°C), just before the chamber reaches the set -value the
controller MB1 starts to pulse the heating signal. The ON/OFF rate is assigned by the regulation ration
of the controller MB1.
The higher the regulation ratio, the higher is the fan speed. If the chamber doesn’t heat (regulation
ratio = 0) the fan is working with his minimal speed. If the chamber heats continuing (regulation ratio =
100%) the fan is working with his maximum speed. The speed of the fan is reduced to avoid kinetic
influence of heating
The rotation of the Permadry®-Fan is reverse proportional to the rotation of the Mainfan.
The only difference is: The Mainfan is controlled constant with the help of a phase control level, the
Permadry®-Fan is in interval mode which is given by a solid state relay.

3.10 Sterilization Mode
Depending on the resistance level of the germs, attention must be paid to the quality of the sterilizat ion
procedure. The lower the sterilization temperature the higher the risk of remaining germs and the
longer the sterilization time is. With the standard hot air sterilization at 187,5°C it is absolutely
guaranteed that all germs are reliably eliminated an d, furthermore also time is saved.
All unit parts in the inner chamber are auto sterilized at a temperature of 187,5°C. The precision IR
sensor is separately treated in a desinfectant bath. This ensures that the measuring quality does not
suffer from the high temperature, as it may happen with other systems.
3.11 Hot-air sterilization
The hot -air sterilization gets activated in the CB Menu. The sterilization temperature of
187,5° C is adjusted by the manufacturer. It may not be changed.
The CO2 sensor is temperature resistant up to a maximum temperature of 60° C.
By no means it can be sterilized or autoclaved.
The CO2-sensor head is especially adjusted for a specific chamber that it belongs to. It cannot
be operated in another chamber. There is an adhesive label with a number on the sensor head
to avoid any mixing up.
Effect the hot -air sterilization as following:
1. Switch off the unit.
2. Pull out the CO2 sensor (without rotating) from the connection bushing in the upper part of the rear
and remove it from the inner chamber.
3. Only with option Oxygen control: Remove the oxygen sensor from the connection bushing without
rotating and put it on the middle shelf.
4. Before starting the sterilization, please remove the water from the basin.
5. Shut the outer and the inner door of the unit.
6. Ensure that the water basins, the shelf holder and the shelves are in the inner chamber.
7. Switch on the unit.
8. Unlock the keypad of the controller MB1 with the key switch (option)
(unlocked = horizontal position, key is removable).
9. Activate the sterilization procedure in the CB Menu as following:

par example cell-medium is
colored yellow = CO2 too high
• If when the CO2 is connected the max. pressure of 1,5 bar is
exceeded, this can lead to a defect in the pressure switch.
The pressure switch becomes leaky as a result and loses gas.
The controller MB1 shows also a too high concentration of CO2:
• MB1 controller output which controlls the gas inlet valve is defect.
There are continually 5V DC at controller output BA5.
• The solenoid valvet is mechanically defect, it doesn’t close.
• The controller MB1 doesn’t show a too high concentration of
CO2:
The FPIFPI-Sensor board could be checked according the following chart.
Binder offers a calibration kit for this purpose with analyzed test gas
with a CO2-concentration of 5 Vol.-%. Because the atmospheric
pressure influences the measurement result of the CO2 sensor system,
the altitude of the site has to be taken into consideration.
Expected results during exposing the sensor head to 5% test gas:
Sea Level Sensor Current
0 m 8,00 mA
100 m 7,93 mA
200 m 7,86 mA
300 m 7,79 mA

500 m 7,66 mA
600 m 7,60 mA
700 m 7,55 mA
800 m 7,49 mA
900 m 7,44 mA
1000m 7,39 mA
If this values are not reached with a tolerance of +/- 0,24mA
(corresponds to 0,3 Vol % CO2) between the signal output of the FPI
sensor board and the MB1 controller input from the sensor system is
faulty.
• Replace the FPI sensor head and check the sensor current against
the expected value again during exposing the sensor head to test
gas.
If the deviation is now within the tolerance of +/proceed a re-calibration at the MB1 cont
re-calibration to achieve maximum accuracy.
• If this values are reached with a tolerance of +/- 0,24mA at the
signal output of the FPI sensor board and yet the MB1 controller
shows not a reading between 4,8 or 5,2 Vol.-% the MB1 is not
calibrated correctly or it is faulty. Check the correct setting of the
altitude above see level which is essentially for correct CO2 values
displayed on MB1-controller display (see CB operating manual). Try
a re -calibration (see chapter re-calibration) with the correct altitude
setting set before.

• This means the new plugged CO2 sensor head is not initialized
successfully.
• Try a restart of the chamber by switching OFF and after 10 s ON an
the main switch.
• If this worse reading still remains the sensor board has to be
replaced and a re-calibration must be carried out.
• This means no connection between sensor head and the FPI
sensor board.
• The sensor head is not plugged correctly – try to plug it again.
• The red silicone wire between the Lemo socket for the sensor head
and the FPI sensor board is faulty.
• The soldered contacts of the Lemo socket might be unfixed.
• Normal function, no defect.
• Sensor system is faulty. The sensor head and may be the sensor
board must be replaced. The system must be re-calibrated (see
chap. re -calibration)
The controller MB1 shows also a to low CO2 concentration:
• Check the pressure of the CO2 bottle (max.1.5 bar, min. 1.0 bar)
• Sterilization process has to be off
• Check gas inlet valve. When the door is closed the valve has to
open with a clicking noise.
• The door switch has to be in closed position when the door is
closed. If it is not closed no CO2 can flow inside the chamber. Press
the door switch by hand and check on the inlet tube whether CO2 is
flowing in
• Check CO2 connection (rear), and the 1mm drill hole of the gas
mixing head. May be there is something jammed.
The controller MB1 doesn’t show a to low CO2 concentration:
The CO2 Sensor System is defect. The Sensor Outputsignal of the
FPI-Sensor board to the controller MB1 could be checked according
the following chart.

5.5 CO2-Reference Measurement
The CO2-measuring procedure of the incubator series CB is characterised by fast reaction times, as
well as the highest accuracy and selectivity. The accuracy of the CO2 measuring system bases on a
single-beam infrared measuring cell, which measures in differential mode, with permanently
alternating transmission characteristic of its semi-conductor filter. Due to this highly developed single beam principle with Fabry -Perot interferometer (FPI), disturbance variables and aging phenomena in
the measuring system are almost completely eliminated, so that this measuring system, in contrast to
other measuring procedures, remains practically drift -free between calibrations and is absolutely
selective for CO2.
The CO2–measuring cell contains a measuring section inside in which the absorption of infrared light
depends on the number of CO2-molecules in the beam path. This number of CO2 –molecules changes
with the ambient pressure in relation to a constant volume. The distances between the molecules are
consequently pressure -dependent. The collision frequency of the IR-beam with CO2-molecules
increases therefore by increasing pressure.
For this reason, the ambient pressure must be compensated in order to correct the display reading of
the CO2-concentration in VOL. -%. This is achieved by entering the altitude of the site above the sea
which is described in the CB operating manual.
It is a common desire of customers to make test-measurements between the re-calibrations
implemented as a part of the recommended annual maintenance work.
In principal there are 3 possibilities to test CO2-concentration inside a incubator which are described
later on.

5.5.1 Measuring of CO2 indirectly via the pH of the cell medium
By use of the indirect determination of CO2 concentration via the pH-value of the nutrient it is possible
to check the CO2-concentration inside the chamber. This method can not be used for re -calibration of
the sensor system but it is a simple method to test for the correct CO2 concentration without any
special CO2-measuring equipment. Only a accurate pH indicator or a pH measuring electrode is
necessary, but this is standard equipment in cell culture laboratories.
This method bases on the acid base equilibrium of the buffer system in the nutrient.
The most common media are buffered by NaHCO3. With the help of the pH-value in the medium, a
conclusion can thus be drawn about the concentration of CO2.
This conclusion is directly possible using the diagram below, which expresses the interrelationship
between CO2 concentration in vol. % and the pH of different NaHCO3 buffered media.
We recommend the incubation of an empty sample with medium for 1/2 day under the same
conditions as the cells. The incubation can be performed in a cell culture bottle or in a 50 ml Falcon
tube with open lid.
After gassing, remove the empty sample from the incubator and within 5 minutes measure the pH1value with a glass electrode. During the measurement the medium should have the least possible
surface contact with the ambient air, so that the CO2 can only diffuse out slightly. Therefore,
transfusing should be avoided. A significant downward movement will only be observed after 5
minutes, allowing sufficient time for measurement. Naturally, pH -test strips can also be used (pH6-8
range not bleeding).
Following graph shows the pH-value of NaHCO3 buffered media as function of the CO2-concentration:

5.5.2 Measuring of CO2 directly via chemical indicator tubes
This is a common do it yourself test of the users. A chemical color reaction in a glass tube shows the
CO2-concentration. A standardized volume of air from the inside of the incubator has to be sucked
through this glass tube to get a quantitative test result. Therefor a special hand pump must be used
with a standardized suction volume.
Example for such a procedure:
1) Break off both ends of such a glass tube or
remove the plugs.
2) Pin that end with the higher end of the scale
on the adapter of the hand pump which
belongs to that test system.
3) Pin the other end trough the silicon plugged
access port of the inner chamber door (4) of
the CB incubator.
4) Take one sample volume out of the inner
camber volume by pressing the pump entirely
together and releasing it afterwards.
5) The standardized volume is sucked trough the
glass tube and the chemical indicator changes
its color beginning from the side pinned into
the chamber in direction to the hand pump.
6) The more CO2 is inside the chamber the vast
the chemical reaction will cause a change of
the color of the chemical reactor.
7) The CO2 concentration can be read off by the
scale directly printed on the glass tube or a
delivered reference reading rule.
It is necessary to correct the result with the
current ambient pressure. The necessary
formula is printed on the instruction sheet of
such systems.
Notes:
All the necessary equipment must be delivered by
only one manufacturer and one defined test
system.
This test systems are nor very accurate.
A typical accuracy is around 10% of the full scale
value!
Therefor this system should not be used for re calibrating the BINDER FPI-sensor system.

5.5.3 Measuring of CO2 directly via a electronic measuring device
The easiest way to measure CO2 concentration are electronic sensor systems. BINDER offers the
portable measuring device model CTM 01 which were specially designed to measure CO2
concentration and temperature inside of CO2 incubators. The CTM 01 can be used both for reference
measurements in certified laboratories, as well as for service purposes.
Description of CTM01:
• The measuring system consists of 2 parts: The measuring station, which remains outside the CO
incubator, and the sensor housing, which is put in the center of the usable volume of the
incubator. Both parts are connected by a ribbon cable, which can be laid across the door gasket of
the incubator without causing leakage.
• The measuring cell is placed directly in the atmosphere to be measured. This means that there is
no requirement for gas pumps, whose inconstant flow rates can cause inaccuracies. When
converting the measured variable, partial pressure CO2, to the display value, VOL. -% CO2, the
respective altitude above sea level is entered and taken into account, so that the display value
always corresponds immediately to the real concentration in VOL. -% CO2 , irrespective of the
place of use.
• The temperature is determined via a PT100 temperature sensor and is displayed on the large LED
display in 10 seconds alternation with the CO2 - concentration.
• The measured data of temperature and CO2 -concentration are output to an RS 422 interface.
Thus the measured data can be simple recorded, stored and graphically represented via PC using
the APT-COM communication software developed by BINDER.
• For monitoring, the nominal values set in the incubator can be entered into the mobile measuring
system. If these nominal values are exceeded or fallen below by permanent ly set tolerances, this
is reported by the unit optically and acoustically, as well as via a potential-free alarm contact. The
alarm function only becomes active if both measured values were previously within the tolerance
limits.

6 Calibration
6.1 Definition of calibration
In this service manual the word “calibration” means to adjust the actual value readings of the MB1
controller for the two controlled values of the CB incubator which are CO2 concentration and
temperature to accurate references of known value. Other words e.g. “alignment” are also customary
for the same procedure.
6.2 References for calibration
Reference for temperature:
A electronic measuring- and display device for temperature which
is traceable to a acknowledged standards/calibration institution
(DKD , PTB for Germany) with valid calibration certificate.
The cable to the sensor probe must be thin to cause no leakage
when it is laid between via the door sealing.
Reference for CO2 concentration
Two test gases with analyzed concentration are used to which the
FPI sensor head is exposed directly.
BINDER offers a calibration kit with all necessary gases and
accessories. The third bottle is only needed for option O2-control..
6.3 Tolerance of the adjustment
Binder calibrates each chamber before it is dispatched to the
customer. High-quality measuring systems are used for this, whose
accuracy is tested annually. To guarantee best possible quality of results which are worked out by use
of the CB incubator the controlled values should be checked annually and re -calibrated if necessary.
When is it worth to correct a deviation between the value measured and the value displayed on the
MB1 controller?
The following table gives you the conditions for an ideal adjustment of a temperature deviation,
Measured value Measured range 2 points adjustment Adjustment if deviation
is higher than:

Deviations which are smaller than this deviations do not require an adjustment.
Important:
The values on the above chart can only be used if the value of measurement uncertainty on the
calibration certificate of the measuring instrument is smaller than the values of the chart.
When this is not the case, then you must take as limit value for an adjustment the measurement
uncertainty va lue of the calibration certificate.

Temperature calibration
The temperature calibration is effected in one single procedure at the most common working
temperature (mostly used 37°C) in thermal stationary condition. The unit is checked in empty
condition with one central shelf.
The reference sensor for temperature is led into the empty inner chamber through the door
sealing and is positioned in the middle of the usable volume on one central shelf. Both unit
doors remain closed during the calibration. The incubator has to be pre-heated at the
calibration temperature for at least one hour.
The adjustment of the temperature controller is only necessary in case there is a deviation between
the temperature, measured in centre of the useful vol ume and the reading of the actual temperature
displayed on the controller MB1 or its safety controller of more than +/-0.2 K. In case the reference
instrument has a measuring uncertainty larger than +/-0.2 K (see its calibration certificate), this is the
confidence criteria.

Overview :
First of all the former calibration is reset (see chap. reset of the calibration). The input value
correction is deactivated afterwards (set the state of the input val. correction to Off). Then
return to the normal operation mode and let adjust the incubator for 1 hour to the calibration
temperature.
The display reading values of the inner chamber temperature (Analogue input 1), of the preheating
chamber temperature (Analogue input 2) and of the safety controller are set to the display reading
value of the reference instrument. This is done by entering the display value of the reference
instrument to the menu “Input value correction” of analogue input 1, analogue input 2, and of the
safety controller.
Finally the input value correction is activated (set the state of the input val. correction to On).
