9. Cut the cable tie

10. Pull off the CO2 cable from the insulation. Please support the points of the fiberglass so it will not
tear apart when pulling off the cable from the fiberglass.

11. Once separated from the fiberglass, we can start pulling the cable down to the chamber

Start pulling gently down the cable

until the end of the cable to fully
remove the cable from the unit.

12. Prepare the new CO2 sensor Cable

Prepare the new CO2 sensor
cable and wrap the wires into
one group so we can easily
insert the cable from the
chamber through the top of
incubator

-CONTROLLED DOCUMENT-

13. Insert the cable through the cable gland

14. Insert the cable through the chamber’s hole until it reaches the out to the top of the chamber.

15. Pull the cable until the connector of the cable is able to reach the sensors clip.

Do not clip the sensor yet. Just

assure that the sensor can reach
the holder
