Introduction
Introduction
Overview
The Transport Incubator is for transport of high risk, premature, low birth-
weight or critically ill newborns. It provides a means to control air temperature
and oxygen concentrations, and adds relative humidity. A double-walled hood
provides full visibility and an effective thermal and sound barrier from the
environment. Arm ports and door panels provide front and head access, and the
mattress tray slides out of the head end for additional access. Tubing access
grommets are on both sides of the front access panel and at the left-hand, head
end panel. An observation lamp is also included.
The Transport Incubator operates from either a sine- or square-wave AC power

source. In addition, it can operate from an external 12V DC or 28V DC source
or integral 12V batteries. The batteries automatically charge whenever the unit
is connected to an AC voltage source and the main Power switch is set to the
ON-1 position. A comprehensive visual and audible alarm system is included
with a test function to verify proper alarm operation. A Battery indicator is
also provided.
Operating Precautions
For additional operating precautions for the Transport Incubator and its
accessories, refer to the Transport Incubator (Model TI500) User Manual
(usr038).
Features
Temperature Control
A temperature sensor, located in the recirculation air path, and a proportional

control circuit, which determines the heater output to maintain the desired
incubator temperature, regulate the incubator temperature. The relative amount
of heat provided is indicated by the number of Heater indicators lit on the
control panel. The incubator temperature can be maintained at 38.0°C
(100.4°F) as selected by the temperature controls on the control panel. The
temperature, as sensed by a sensor located within the housing, is compared
with the setpoint. Control circuitry uses the information from this sensor to
proportion the heater output to maintain the setpoint. The temperature appears
on the front panel’s Temperature display.

Introduction
The initial setpoint is 36.0°C (96.8°F) ± 0.1°C. The incubator heats to this
1
temperature unless the setting is changed. To change the setpoint to a
prescribed temperature, use the Set Temp controls on the control panel. An
additional sensor within the housing serves as a backup to limit the incubator’s
maximum air temperature to 38.9°C (102.0°F) ± 0.5°C. At this limit, the High
Temp alarm activates, and the heater shuts off.
Alarms
Each time the unit turns on, it automatically activates a test sequence to verify
that the visual display and the audible alarm function. Each of the following six
alarms has an indicator on the display and an audible alarm.
High Temperature Alarm
When the incubator temperature is ≥38.9°C (102.0°F), a sensor located below

the deck sounds this alarm. A flashing High Temp indicator and an audible
tone indicate a High Temp alarm. Internally, the heater turns off. To silence
this alarm for 5 minutes, press the Silence/Reset key.
Sensor Alarm
Circuitry monitors the air temperature sensor and the air display sensor for
short- or open-circuits or skin temperature probe shorts. A flashing Sensor
indicator and an intermittent audible tone indicate a Sensor alarm. This alarm
resets itself.
High Heater Temperature Alarm
A flashing Heater Temp indicator and an intermittent audible tone indicate

that the heater temperature exceeds 77.0°C (170.6°F). When this occurs, the
heater and Heater indicators turn off. To silence this alarm for 5 minutes, press
the Silence/Reset key.
Airflow Alarm
A flashing Air Flow indicator and an intermittent audible alarm indicate that
the fan impeller is not rotating or is missing. When this occurs, the heater and
Heater indicators turn off. To silence this alarm for 5 minutes, press the
Silence/Reset key.
Low DC Alarm
A flashing Low DC indicator and an intermittent audible alarm indicate that

the incubator’s DC power source is below the minimum specification value.

Introduction
Power Failure Alarm
A separate internal battery powers the Power Failure alarm. If AC power is

lost and no external DC power source or internal battery is present, the Power
Fail indicator lights, and a continuous tone sounds. If the power source
switches from an AC power source or a DC power source to an internal
battery, the Power Fail indicator lights, and an intermittent tone sounds. To
reset this alarm, press the Silence/Reset key.
Adjustable Stand Assembly (Accessory)
The adjustable stand assembly provides a convenient means of moving the

Transport Incubator. Each adjustable stand assembly adjusts to different height
1
positions and locks into the litter bar of an ambulance, such as a FERNO®
Model 175 Series Cot Fastener System.

Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
A forced air circulating system controls temperature, humidity, and oxygen
concentration. A motor-driven impeller draws a controlled amount of room air
through the air/oxygen intake filter. To maintain the total gas intake, including
oxygen, at the same level, supplemental oxygen, introduced through the
oxygen inlet connector on the left-hand side of the unit, displaces a portion of
room air. Since the impeller/filter characteristics control the amount of room
air and the flow meter setting controls the amount of oxygen, predictable
oxygen concentration is attainable. However, use of an FiO2 monitor is
recommended.
In addition to drawing fresh, filtered air into the incubator, the impeller
provides an internal recirculation at a much greater flow than that of the fresh
gas inflow. The air is directed over the humidity sponge for humidification.
When the access panel of the hood is closed, the air enters the infant
compartment up through the slots at the right-hand end of the housing. After
circulating within the infant compartment, the air then circulates down the left-
hand end of the housing, past the temperature sensing probe, and back to the
impeller.
The Transport Incubator operates from one of three power sources. Power is
selected in the following priority sequence:
• External AC power
• External 12V DC or 28V DC power
• Internal batteries
The batteries can charge only when the unit operates from an external AC
power source.
Detailed Circuit Description

The power chassis assembly contains all of the power collection and
distribution circuitry necessary for the proper operation of the Transport
Incubator.
Input Power Circuit Sources
Electronic circuits on the power P.C. board monitor the voltage level of each of
the possible power sources and determine priority.

Theory of Operation
External AC Power Source
Power from the AC mains goes through the AC receptacle on the power
chassis front panel. From there, the power is distributed through the power
chassis. First, it connects to the circuit breakers; on the 220V model, there are
two 4 A breakers; on the 110V model, there are two 6 A breakers. (The power
supply has an auto-ranging input that accepts any voltage from 90V to 264V.
However, due to regulatory requirements, two sets of breakers are required,
and hence two models.) From there, the AC mains voltage connects to the
input of a 225 W switching power supply. The power supply converts the AC
mains to 15V DC, and the 15V DC connects to the power P.C. board through
connector J2.
From J2, the 15V DC goes through diode D19 to the input of the 5V regulator,
U4. This regulator provides power for all of the input-level, detector circuits on
the power P.C. board. These circuits choose which power source is used. For 3
the AC mains input, a Schmitt trigger circuit consisting of comparator U3A
and its surrounding circuitry monitors the 15V output of the power supply. If
the 15V is above the cutout threshold of approximately 13V, the relay K2
energizes, and power from the AC mains, through the 15V power supply,
powers the Transport Incubator. 12V is applied to the wiper contact of K2,
signal V1228, which supplies power to the on-board switching power supply
and the heater.
If a fault occurs, and the voltage falls below 13V, the relay K2 de-energizes,
and power reverts to the external DC power source or internal battery,
depending on which is present.
External 12V/28V DC Power Source
An external DC power source can power the unit. The power enters the
Transport Incubator through the round connector on the power chassis front
plate, and from there it connects to the power P.C. board through the connector
J3. There are two acceptable voltage levels, 12V DC and 28V DC.

Theory of Operation
Main 12V/28V Circuit
The internal main 12V/28V circuit adjusts automatically to accommodate

either 12V or 28V DC. The DC voltage enters the P.C. board through
connector J3, passes through circuit breaker CB1, and then directly connects to
the open contact of relay K1. Like the J2 input, a level detector circuit with
hysteresis exists. If the voltage is below 9V, relay K1 does not energize. If the
voltage is above 9V, relay K1 energizes, and Q14 drives the coil of K1,
energizing it, and connecting V1228 to the normally closed contact of K2. This
then applies power to V1228, and then to K3 and V1228.
DC 12V/28V Discriminator
The 12V/28V discriminator determines if the external DC power is in the 12V

range or the 28V range for the following two purposes:
• To prevent over-driving the K1 relay coil
• To determine which heater driver power field-effect transistors to use
The circuit consisting of U3C is a Schmitt trigger that generates a signal,

NOVR16, if the 12V/28V voltage, V1228, is over 16V.
Internal Batteries
The internal batteries are contained in a separate chassis, and connect to the
power P.C. board through connector J9. From there, the circuit passes through
circuit breaker CB2, and then goes on to the normally closed contact of relay
K2. The circuit also connects to the output of the battery charging circuit at the
cathode of D12.
Power Source Priority
Since there are three possible power input sources, circuitry controls or
automatically selects which source powers the unit.
Power from one of the three input sources is directed to the following two
separate circuits:
• The heater circuit
• The input from the 6V switcher that powers the controller P.C. board

Theory of Operation
AC power has priority over all other sources. If AC power is present, and the
main switch is turned on, 15V DC is available at pins 1 and 2 of J2. The
schematic name for this signal is VACDC. If VACDC is above 13V, the level
detecting circuit included around U3A turns on transistor Q13, and thus
activates K2. This connects the arm of K2 to VACDC only. As long as K2 is
activated, all other power sources, even if present and activated, are locked out.
The arm of K2, pin 30, which is signal V1228, represents the entry point for
power to the rest of the unit. This point is the source to the heater and 6V
switcher.
If AC power is not present, K2 is deactivated, and pin 30, signal V1228,

connects to pin 88, signal ITOE. ITOE connects to the arm of K2. If there is no
external DC power, this point connects directly to the battery. If there is an
external DC power present, K1 activates, and ITOE connects to the external
DC power source through connector J3. Because relay K1 has a 12V coil, the
coil drive circuit is selected based on the external voltage. If it is 12V, the U3B
3
level detector activates Q14 and drives the coil directly. If the voltage is 28V,
the level detector U3C drives the coil through Q17 and R11 while, at the same
time, disabling transistor Q14 through D15.
If both AC power and external DC power are not present, both relays K1 and
K2 deactivate, and V1228 connects to the battery.
Battery Charger
Batteries charge through the battery charging circuit comprised of U2 in

conjunction with R22, Q11, and D12. The source for this charging circuit is
VACDC, which means that the AC power must be present for charging to take
place. The battery cannot charge by external DC power.
The battery charging integrated circuit U2, a UC2906, is configured as a dual-

level, float charger. Basically, the charger operates as follows:
• The battery charges with a 3 A current until an over-voltage condition is
reached—in this case, approximately 15V.
• When this voltage is reached, the charge current drops back to a trickle
charge, and the battery voltage is allowed to float.
• When the battery voltage falls below a threshold voltage of about 13.6V,
the charging cycle repeats with a 3 A charging current.
The circuitry of the controller P.C. board’s Battery Status light uses transistor
Q22 to disable the charger, so that the presence or absence of a battery can be
detected.

Theory of Operation
Heater Drivers
The heater used in the Transport Incubator is a dual-element, resistive heater

with a common connection. Essentially, one element is for 12V/15V operation,
and one is used for 28V operation, although the exact use of the elements
depends on the power source.
Power Hexfets
Transistors Q6 and Q7 are used to apply power to the heaters. Q6 drives the
higher resistance element, while Q7 drives the lower. The pulse-width
modulated heater control signal, HCTRL, applies to the gates of Q6 and Q7
indirectly through C8 and C19. When HCTRL goes high, C8 turns on, C19
turns off, D7 and D8 are reverse-biased, and the gates of Q6 and Q7 rise to 6V
through R9 and R10, respectively.
Q6 and Q7 may not be used at the same time, depending on which power
source is used. For AC mains source, signal SHDNM is high, Q21 is high, and
Q6 disables, thereby enabling the lower heater resistance to be used. If external
12V DC or the battery is the source, both Q6 and Q7 are used. If external 28V
DC is used, the over-16 signal, NOVR16, activates, and only Q6 is used.
Switching Power Supplies
Regardless of the input voltage source, all input voltages are presented to the
input of the 6V switcher and the heater at pin 30 of relay K2. This voltage
powers the fan, lights, and, in conjunction with VR1, the controller P.C. board.
VR1 is a step-up switching power supply used to generate 12V for operational
amplifier operation.
6V
The 6V switching power supply consists of U1, Q2, Q3, and the associated
circuitry. This is a DC-to-DC buck converter that takes any voltage from 6V to
30V and converts it to 6V DC at a maximum of 5 A.
12V
VR1 is a self-contained switching regulator that takes its input from the output
of the 6V supply and generates 12V at 250 mA.

Theory of Operation
Fault Protection
Circuit Breakers
Both the external DC power source and the battery have 15 A circuit breakers,
CB1 and CB2 respectively. These breakers protect against downstream faults.
D13 protects against reverse battery connection.
Since the DC power supply associated with the AC mains supply has internal
fault protection, the VACDC signal has no circuit breaker.
Reverse Voltage
If the external DC power is accidentally connected in reverse, the circuit

diodes are reversed-biased, and therefore allow no current drain.
If the battery accidentally connects in reverse, D13 is forward-biased, and CB2

3
opens to protect the power P.C. board circuitry.
Safety Relay
After a power source is selected by the front end of the power P.C. board,
power passes on to the heaters through safety relay K3. Q18 and the control
signal HDSBL controls the activation of K3’s coil. Under normal operation,
K3 activates, and thus the V1228 power connects to pin 1 of the heater
connector J4. Under fault conditions, HDSBL goes low, and the cutoff drive to
the safety relay K3 and power to the heater are interrupted.
Fan Sense
A series current sense resistor, R7, is used to determine motor current. The
voltage on this resistor is proportional to fan motor current and is sent to the
controller P.C. board for the fan motor alarm circuit.
Exam Lights
The 6V switching power supply on the power P.C. board powers the exam
lights. Connector J8 makes this power available.
Feed-Through Connections
For some signals, the power P.C. board is used as a conduit for the following
sensor signals going to the controller P.C. board:
• For the skin probe, signals J5, SPR8, and SPRET
• For the air probe, signals J6, AMONPB, PRBRET, and ACTRPB

Theory of Operation
Controller P.C. Board
The controller P.C. board performs the following functions for the incubator:
• Measures the skin temperature
• Measures and controls the incubator’s air temperature
• Monitors, indicates, and displays alarms
• Charges the battery
• Indicates the battery level
• Indicates the battery status
Power On/Off Circuitry
On/Off Switch
The controller P.C. board turns on through the push-button switch, S6, and
turns off through S7. The operation of the power on/off circuit is as follows:
• The on/off function centers around the latching relay K1.
• Signal NPWRON controls power to the controller P.C. board and controls
the 6V switching power supply on the power P.C. board. A resistor pulls
this signal up to 5V. When the unit is off, NPWRON pulls up because it is
connected to the open contact pin 4 of K1.
• The charge built-up on capacitor C22 powers K1. Whenever any of the
four possible power sources are active, this has 5V on it. Regardless of the
voltage at V1228, current through R46 generates 5.1V at Zener CR5, and
hence capacitor 22µF.
• When the On switch, S6, is pressed, the 5.1V at CPVRR appears on the
gate of Q12, turning it on and supplying power to K1’s “latch-on” coil.
This connects pin 4 to the ground through pin 3, grounding NPVMON, and
turns on the switching power supply, and powers up the controller P.C.
board, applying 6V and 12V.

Theory of Operation
Regulators
The 6V and 12V supplies apply to three linear regulators that supply voltages
for circuit functions. Regulator VR1 takes the 6V supply and drops it 5.0V to
power the digital logic and the digital displays. VR3 drops the 12V supply
down to 8V to run the control pulse width circuit. Voltage V1 powers the audio
alarm circuit centering on U4. This voltage is derived from the 12V input and
drops to about 10.8V through diodes D14 and D13. VR2 generates another 5V
source, V2, from 12V to power the setpoint retention circuit. This voltage is
available even when the unit is turned off because it is the diode with the 7.2V
battery connected to J1.
Skin Temperature
Probe
The skin probe is a single-thermistor type.

3
Skin Bridge
The skin sensor probe measures the temperature of whatever its probe end is
attached to. The thermistor forms parts of a triangular circuit consisting of
R69, R128, and RT6.
Signal Amplifier
The operational amplifier U46A amplifies the bridge output voltage. This
amplifier provides gain and linearization for the thermistor probe’s output.
Nominal range of the output voltage is 2V to 4V for a 20°C (68°F) to 40°C
(104°F) temperature range. This corresponds to a sensitivity of 100 millivolts
(mV)/°C.
Analog/Digital (A/D) Converter and Display
Input voltage to the analog/digital (A/D) converter is attenuated by a factor of

approximately 10 by the R70/R119 resistor divider to keep the signal in the
A/D converter’s operating range of 0mV to 999mV. C29 filters the A/D input
voltage for stable display readings. The A/D converter, U24, accepts the
analog input and outputs the corresponding digital code as multiplexed BCD
digital signals used to drive a three-digit numeric LED display. The A/D
converter presents BCD information to the seven-segment decoder/driver,
U25, which drives the cathodes of the Skin Temperature display, DS16
through DS18. The digital-strobe outputs, U24-3 through -5, of the A/D
converter drive the anodes of the display through the drive transistors, Q15
through Q17. The analog switch, U36, provides the display lamp test function

Theory of Operation
during the Auto-Test cycle at power-up. RT4 and RT5 allow zero and gain
adjustment for A/D converter calibration.
Pin 6 of the A/D converter is the “hold” input which, if biased properly, holds
the display reading to the last converted number. Diodes D1 and D2 provide
this 1.2V bias voltage. NOR gate U5A pin 3 provides control over the “hold”
mode. This input eliminates display flickering when the temperature is at a
transition point. Output U5-3, NCONVT, is normally high, keeping the A/D
converter in the “hold” mode. Every few seconds, a pulse provided through
C17 forces U5-3 low and updates the A/D converter temperature information.
The C17 and R20 time-constant determines the duration of this pulse.
When the display indicates the setpoint temperature, this “hold” mode must be
overridden to provide fast response during the temperature setting operation.
Components D17, R18, and C16 control of “hold” input during the setpoint
temperature mode. When the setpoint temperature is displayed, the anode of
D17 goes high, forcing U5-3 low. This puts the A/D converter into the fast-
conversion mode to allow the setting of the temperature. R18 and C16 provide
a delay after the anode of D17 goes low again. This delay keeps U5-3 low,
allows time for the analog switches to change, and allows time for the A/D
converter to convert the hood temperature and display it. This is preferred
rather than holding the control temperature on the display for a few seconds
before the hood temperature is again displayed.
Calibration Check
The calibration of the skin temperature measurement can be checked. When

switch S1 is pressed, relay K2 energizes. This places a 4300Ω 0.1% calibration
resistor in place on the skin probe. If the skin temperature circuit is calibrated,
the Skin Temperature display reads exactly 36.0°C (96.8°F) after a 3½-
second delay for A/D conversion.
Air-Temperature-Monitoring Circuitry
Probe
This probe is a dual-thermistor type. Both thermistors are identical. One is

used for monitoring, and the other is used for controlling.
Bridge
Sensor 2TR1-b of the dual-thermistor probe measures the incubator hood

temperature and forms parts of a bridge circuit consisting of R58, R59, R123,
R126, and RT10.

Theory of Operation
Amplifier
The bridge amplifier U49A amplifies the bridge output voltage. This amplifier
provides gain and linearization for the thermistor probe’s output. Nominal
range of output voltage is 2V to 4V for a 20°C (68°F) to 40°C (104°F)
temperature range. This corresponds to a sensitivity of 100 mV/°C.
A/D Converter and Display
The A/D converter, U26, and displays, DS13 through DS15, have a dual-use.
In the normal mode, the display shows the air temperature in the hood. In the
setpoint mode, the display shows the current setpoint temperature. A two-input
multiplexer to the input of the A/D converter determines which parameter is
displayed. This multiplexer is constructed by combining the outputs of two
gates of analog switch U28 and connecting the combined output to the input of
the A/D converter, U26. 3
The input to on-gate, U28D-8, is the temperature data from the bridge
amplifier, U49-1, whose schematic name is AMONT.
The input to the other gate, U28A-2, is the setpoint voltage from the output of
the digital/analog (D/A) converter, U46B-7, whose schematic name is VSET.
The outputs of the read/set logic contained in the programmable logic chip,
U44, determines the control of these gates.
The A/D converter, U26, is a CA3162 that combines the A/D function with a
multiplexed display driver output. Because the A/D converter only operates for
input voltage from 0 mV to 99 mV, the input voltage to the A/D converter is
attenuated by a factor of 10 through the resistor divider combination of R69
and R70. The capacitor C38 filters the A/D converter voltage for stable display
readings.
The A/D converter presents BCD information to the seven-segment

decoder/driver, U27, which drives the temperature displays, DS13 through
DS15. The digital-strobe output, U26-3 through -5, of the A/D converter
through drive transistors, Q18 through Q20, drive the anodes of the display.
The analog switch, U36, provides the display lamp test function during the
Auto-Test cycle at power-up.
For calibrating the A/D converter, the potentiometer, RT12, controls the zero,
and RT11 controls the gain.

Theory of Operation
Pin 6 of the A/D converter is the “hold” input which, if biased properly, holds
the display reading of the last converted number. Diodes D1 and D2 provide
this 1.2V bias voltage. The NOR gate signal, U5A-3, provides control over the
“hold” mode. This input eliminates display flickering when the temperature is
at a transition point. The output U5A-3 is normally high, keeping the A/D
converter in the “hold” mode. Every few seconds, a pulse goes through C17,
which forces U5A-3 low and updates the A/D converter’s temperature
information. The C17 and R20 time constant determines the duration of this
pulse.
When the display indicates the setpoint temperature, this “hold” mode must be
overridden to provide a fast response during the temperature setting operation.
During the setpoint mode, the components D17, R48, and C16 control the
“hold” input. When the setpoint temperature is displayed, the anode of D17
goes high, forcing U5A-3 low. This puts the A/D converter into Fast-
Conversion Mode to allow the setting of the temperature. R18 and C16 provide
a delay after the anode of D17 goes low again. This delay keeps U5A-3 low
long enough to allow for the analog switches to settle and the A/D converter to
convert the hood temperature and display it. This is preferred rather than
holding the control temperature on the display for a few seconds before the
hood temperature is again displayed.
Offset
To compensate for temperature gradients between the sensor’s location and the
mattress center, the air temperature displayed on the front panel is calibrated
with a 1.5°C offset. The temperature of the mattress center is 1.5°C higher than
the temperature at the tip of the air probe. Therefore, the resistance
corresponding to 34.5°C (94.1°F) is placed in the air monitor probe, and the
display is then calibrated to 36.0°C (96.8°F).
Setpoint Circuitry
Read/Set Control Latch
The read/set logic, U44, selects the temperature shown on the digital display.
In its normal state, the latch selects the hood temperature displayed by keeping
U44-16 high. The control temperature is displayed on demand either during the
Auto-Test cycle or by pressing the Set Temp switch, S4.
The control temperature is displayed until a low level at U44-8, RX2, resets the
latch. This happens at power-up through the RESET signal at U5C-8 and by
the other input, U5B-4, when it goes high approximately 14 seconds after you
press the Set Temp switch, S4, or when the switches S2 or S3 are released.

Theory of Operation
Setpoint Voltage
The output of the temperature setpoint circuit is biased to provide the same
output range as the bridge amplifier.
This voltage establishes the reference temperature for the temperature control
circuitry.
Two functional blocks make up the main part of this circuit:

• The presettable up/down counter, U30, U31, and U37A
• The D/A converter, RN3, U48A, and U48B
The Set Temp switch, S4, and the increase and decrease switches, S2 and S3,
provide control over this circuit. These switches work in conjunction with the
control and limit circuitry, U44, to establish the incubator’s control
temperature.
3
The R/2R ladder network, RN3, converts the binary output of the presettable
up/down counter to an analog voltage. U48A buffers the output of the ladder
network so as not to load the relatively high impedance output of RN3. The
voltage at U48-1 ranges from 0V to 5V for counter outputs of binary 0 to
binary 512. U30 and U31 form an 8-bit binary counter. Flip-flop U37A adds a
ninth bit for better resolution. These nine bits give the following resolution:
TMAX – TmrN
Resolution = -------------------------------------
9
2
40° – 20 ( 40 )°
Resolution = ----------------------------------
512
0.39°C
Resolution = -----------------
BIT
Since the resolution of the temperature display is only 0.1°C, this is an

adequate resolution.
To be compatible with the bridge amplifier output, the 0V to 5V output voltage

of the D/A converter must convert to a 2V to 4V range. This is done using
amplifier U48B as a non-inverting sining amplifier that adds a DC bias voltage
to the D/A converter output to obtain the desired output voltage range. RT3 is
adjusted to provide a nominal 1.25V at the junction of RT3 and R79.

Theory of Operation
The incubator is set to 36.0°C (96.8°F) at power-up by a pulse on U30-1, U31-

1, and U37A-6. This sets the counter outputs to a a predetermined state
equivalent to a 36.0°C (96.8°F) setpoint temperature. R72 and C35 form a “de-
glitching” filter to guard against a spurious “carry-out” signal from the U31
counter. The output NENI, U44-91, provides control over the counter. The 9
Hz nominal clock to the counters is always running. NENI is normally high,
disabling the counters. The following three logic circuits, all contained in PAL
U44, control NENI:
• Read/set latch output
• Increase/decrease switches
• Limit circuit output
All three inputs must be high in order to enable the counters. Thus, pressing
either increase or decrease switch does not change the setpoint temperature
unless the read/set latch is set by pressing the Set Temp switch, S4, first. For
the case where the assume limit circuit output is high, operate the setpoint as
follows:
1. Change the setpoint temperature by pressing the Set Temp switch, S4. A
timer begins, the Setpoint indicator, DS6, lights, and the Air
Temperature display shows the setpoint temperature.
2. The timer times out, and the display automatically reverts to indicating the
hood temperature after about 15 seconds.
3. If, after pressing S4, you want to change the setpoint temperature, press
either S2 or S3, and hold until the desired setpoint temperature is indicated
on the display.
4. If reaching the desired temperature takes longer than the 15-second

automatic time out, the logic in U44 “locks out” the time-out pulse and
maintains the display in the setpoint mode until the increase or decrease
switch is released.
Signal UPND, U44-22, U30-10, and U31-10, determines the up or down

direction of the counters. The endpoint limit circuitry is contained in U44. This
is required to provide high and low temperature setpoint limits and keep the
counter from “rolling over” when the maximum and minimum counts are
reached.

Theory of Operation
The comparators U42-A and U42-B monitor the D/A converter output voltage
at U48-A. RT2 is set to obtain a maximum control temperature limit of 38.0°C
(100.4°F) while the voltage at U48B-8 is chosen to provide a minimum
setpoint of about 22.0°C (71.6°F). When either of these extremes is reached,
logic in U44 goes active, disabling the counter through NTENI. The signals L1
and L2 internal to U44 force the state so that if a limit is reached, the direction
of the count may reverse.
The 38.9°C (102.0°F) ± 0.5°C limit may be overridden to perform an incubator

high temperature ring-out test by pressing the Set Temp switch, releasing it,
and then pressing the increase and decrease switches simultaneously, so a
setpoint temperature of 40°C (104°F) is achieved. The setpoint rolls over at
40°C (104°F).
Air-Temperature-Controlling Circuitry 3
Probe
The probe is a dual-thermistor type. Both thermistors are identical. One is used
for monitoring, and the other for controlling.
For air temperature control, the other sensor in the air temperature probe is
used. Sensor 2TR1-b of the dual-thermistor probe measures the incubator hood
temperature and forms parts of a bridge circuit consisting of R60, R61, R124,
R127, and RT8.
Amplifier
The bridge amplifier, U49B, amplifies the bridge output voltage. This
amplifier provides the gain and linearization for the thermistor probe’s output.
The nominal range of output voltage is 2V AC to 4V AC for a 20°C (68°F) to
40°C (104°F) temperature range. This corresponds to a sensitivity of 100
mV/°C.
Error Amplifier
Temperature information from the probe amplifier, U49B-7, is presented to

one input of differential amplifier, U47A. This amplifier compares the probe
temperature information with the temperature reference voltage from the
setpoint temperature circuitry. The output of the differential amplifier is a
voltage proportioned by the difference between the measured temperature and
the setpoint temperature reference. The gain of 50 provides an output
sensitivity of 5V/°C.

Theory of Operation
The output from this amplifier provides the input to the power control circuit
and the Heater power indicator circuitry.
Power Heater Control Circuit
The 5V/°C output sensitivity, VERR, from the differential amplifier, U47A-1,
provides the input for the power control circuit at U2-5. This circuit consists of
a 555 timer configured as a pulse-width modulator that provides an output duty
cycle proportional to the voltage at its input. Components R114 through R117
and Q22 form a constant current source to charge the capacitor C42 linearly.
This provides an output duty cycle that is linearly proportional to the input
control voltage. The U33 output, pin 3, is set high by the trigger pulse
occurring approximately every 160 milliseconds at U33-2. The output remains
high until the voltage at U33-6 equals the control voltage at U33-5. At that
time, U33-3 goes low, and C42 discharges. The output stays low until the
trigger pulse at U33-2 forces it high again. When the output is high, the heater
energizes.
Resistor R117 provides an offset at U33-6, preventing pin 6 from going to

ground potential when C42 discharges. This allows a lower minimum duty
cycle than if R117 was not used.
TRGP-U6D-11 provides trigger pulses and provides a means to shut down the
heater power if the High Temp alarm activates. When the High Temp alarm
activates, U6D-11 goes high and holds U33-2 and -4 low. This keeps the
output in the low state and disables the heater.
The High Temp and Heater Temp alarms set HDSBL, U15-22, low, shuts off
the relay K3 on the power P.C. board, and removes power from the heater.
Clock and Timing Circuitry
The fundamental clock for all timing is the 150 Hz Complementary Metal-
Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) clock composed of U7C, U7D, RT1, R5, and
C10. This clock supplies the input to the clock divider circuit, U3. All delay
and timing signals derive from either the 150 Hz nominal clock oscillator or
the divider U3.

Theory of Operation
U3 provides the following:

• 9.4 Hz frequency that increments the setpoint temperature up/down
counters, provides trigger pulses to the power control, and modulates the
High Temp and Heater Temp audible alarms
• 2.4 Hz signal used with a 14-second period output that terminates the Auto-
Test, provides the alarm delay, and enables the Sensor and Low DC
audible alarms
• 1.2 Hz signal to enable the alarm flash and tone
• 0.3 Hz signal to update the A/D converter every 3½ seconds
• 28-second period clock for the alarm silence circuit
• U12B and U11B that form a latch acting as a 14 second mono-stable to
reset the setpoint latch in U44
When an alarm condition occurs, the clock divider, U3, resets so the delay for
3
the alarm’s clock signal delay is a low transition at U5D-11. This creates a
reset pulse, RST, at U11A-9 until the RC circuit of C12, R9, and R10 charges.
When U3-15, SECT, goes high after 7 seconds, U8A generates a 0.4-second
low pulse that clocks U9B through U12C, providing a clock pulse to the alarm
latches in U44.
The Setpoint Temperature display cycle also initiates a counter reset.

Pressing the Set Temp switch, S4, sets the U44-16, NSETP, low, causing the
clock divider, U3, to reset through U11A-9, RST. The counter cycles through
until U3-1 goes high after 14 seconds, resetting the read/set latch in U44
through U12B and U11B. During the 14-second cycle, the Setpoint indicator
illuminates, and the display shows the temperature setpoint.

The following alarms are provided:

• The High Temp alarm indicates over-temperature conditions within the
hood.
• The Heater Temp alarm indicates over-temperature conditions within the
heater.
• The Sensor alarm indicates an open- or short-circuited safety sensor, a
shorted skin temperature sensor, or a shorted Air Temperature display
sensor.
• The Low DC alarm indicates a low battery or low external DC voltage.
• The Airflow alarm indicates a blocked or missing impeller.
• The Power Failure alarm indicates the loss of incubator power or of all
power.
High Temp
If the incubator hood temperature exceeds 38.9°C (102.0°F) ± 0.5°C, a High

Temp alarm occurs. The comparator, U34A, detects High Temp alarm
conditions, and RT7 sets them. When the temperature rises above 38.9°C
(102.0°F) ± 0.5°C, the voltage at U34A-5 becomes higher than U34A-4, so
U34A-2 goes to 5V. U17E-1, U17E-10, and U39A-1 go high. If no Temp
Probe alarm is active, U39A-3, HITEMP, goes high. This signal connects to
the alarm PAL, U13, which drives the High Temp indicator DS1 through
U20B. This signal is gated with a 1.2 Hz signal to flash the alarm indicator.
Heater Temp
A Heater Temp alarm occurs under the following two conditions:

• The heater is disconnected, or the heater temperature cutout switch
activates.
• The heater driver circuitry is not working properly.
If the heater becomes disconnected, signal NOHEAT goes low. Through the
inverter circuit, Q14, R66, R55, and R57, the signal OVRH goes high at pin 9
of U15. The logic in U15 then sets pin 20, NHTRT, low. This signal connects
to U13, and a low activates the Heater Temp alarm.
If the heater driver circuitry is not working properly, the logic is more
complicated. The logic in U15 looks at both the heater driver control signal,
DHC7RL, and a feedback signal, HFB, from the power P.C. board driver

Theory of Operation
circuit. If the two signals are inverted and in phase, the heater is assumed to
operate properly, and no alarm is generated. If some problem exists in the
heater drive circuit, the two signals become out of phase, generating an error
signal at U15-14. R200 and C66 filter this signal, and it is fed back into U15-
15. If this signal goes high, signal NHTRT goes low, and the Heater Temp
alarm activates.
DHCTRL is the normal heater control signal, HCTRL, reduced by the R198,
R199 divider to keep it from exceeding the U15 input voltage limit.
The Heater Temp alarm cannot be cleared; however, it may be silenced by

pressing the Silence/Reset key. The Controller switch must be pressed, and
the fault must be corrected.
Sensor
If the air temperature sensor opens or shorts, or if the skin sensor shorts, the
3
Sensor alarm is generated. The steering diodes, CRA1A through CRA1E, and
the window comparator, composed of the comparators U34B and U34C and
their associated circuitry, accomplish this. Information about the state of the
probes is obtained from the output of their respective bridge amplifiers and, in
effect, wire OR’ed through the diodes CRA1A through CRA1E. If a sensor is
shorted, its bridge output goes high. This causes the comparator, U34B, pin 1,
to go low, and, through inversions in U17F, U39B, and U17D, the signal
SENSOR goes high. This signal connects to the alarm logic PAL, U13, where
a high generates a Sensor alarm. A similar situation occurs when a sensor is
open, except that the comparator, U34C, goes low. This alarm may be silenced
for 5 minutes by pressing the Silence/Reset key, but the alarm cannot be
cleared until the fault is corrected. The alarm sounds about 0.5 seconds every
14 seconds.
Low DC
If the unit operates from either an external DC power source or a battery, and
the voltage goes below 10.5V DC or, for the 28V model, 25.5V DC, the Low
DC alarm occurs. A dual set of window comparators, U43A and U43B for 28V
or U34C and U34D for 12V, detects this low DC. The outputs of these
comparators are wire OR’ed, and the combined outputs of each is diode OR’ed
by D4 and D5 to generate the signal NLODC. This signal connects to the alarm
PAL U13. Under normal operation, the outputs of the comparators are high,
and hence NLODC is high. If a voltage goes out of its range, NLODC goes
low, and U13 flashes the sensor alarm LED, DS2, and sounds the alarm. The
alarm sounds about 0.5 seconds every 14 seconds.

Theory of Operation
Airflow
An Airflow alarm occurs in the following two cases:

• The fan motor impeller is missing or free-floating on the motor shaft
• The fan motor impeller is obstructed and cannot rotate.
The airflow circuit cannot detect an obstruction in the airflow path unless it
blocks the spinning of the impeller.
The detection circuit consists of a motor current sense resistor on the power
P.C. board, an integrator amplifier, U47B, and a window comparator, U42C
and U42D. A one Ω resistor is placed on the power P.C. board in series with
the fan motor. The voltage on this resistor is proportional to the current in the
motor. Under normal operating conditions, a small AC signal appears across
the resistor. U47B amplifies this signal, converts it to DC, and then feeds it to
the input of the window comparators, U42C and U42D. Under normal
operating conditions, the voltage is within the range, and the output of the
comparators, signal NAFLOW, is high.
If the motor impeller is missing, the current in the sense resistor decreases as
does the voltage into the comparators. This puts the input to the comparators
out of the window, and U42D pulls NAFLOW low. NAFLOW connects to the
input of the alarm PAL, U13, and, hence, the indicator DS11 flashes, and an
alarm sounds.
If the impeller is blocked, the current through the sense resistor increases. In
this case, U42C-14 goes low, and the alarm circuits activate. To silence this
alarm for 5 minutes, press the Alarm/Silence key; however, it cannot be
cleared until the fault is corrected.
Power Failure
The Power Failure alarm has two distinct modes of operation:

• If the unit is in the operating mode and all power sources fail or are not
present, an alarm activates. This alarm is a continuous indicator light and a
continuous audible alarm. To silence this alarm, press the Standby switch.
• If the power source is changed from AC or an external DC to a battery
while the unit is operating, an alarm activates. This alarm is an intermittent
light and sound. To clear this alarm, press the Silence/Reset key.
In the first failure mode, the alarm circuitry consists of Q1, R2, R29, D9, and
D10. Q3 acts as a comparator, and compares its base voltage to its emitter
voltage. When the incubator power, AC, DC, or battery, is present, the Power

Theory of Operation
Failure alarm battery, connected at J1, charges through the resistor R29 and
the diodes D9 and D10. The relay K1 connects R2 to ground through the pins 7
and 8, and provides a base current for Q1 in the event of a power failure. If the
incubator power fails, D10 becomes reversed-biased, and R2 turns on Q1. Q1’s
collector then provides the supply voltage, V1, to the audible alarm, and lights
the Power Failure indicator, DS5. The audible alarm energizes due to the
disappearance of the +5V logic power supply. To silence the Power Failure
alarm, press the controller’s Standby switch, S7, to reset the power latch and
turn off Q1 through R2.
In the second failure mode, the signals NACON and NVEDC going into U14
monitor the state of the AC mains and the external DC. The logic internal to
U14 monitors these two signals, and when both are inactive, the output U14-15
makes a positive transition from low to high, clocking a high into the flip-flop
U9A, and setting its output, PLOSS, to a high. This signal connects to the input
of alarm PAL, U13, and when high, it activates the Power Loss alarm circuit.
3
The output NPFAO, U13-19, goes low, setting the signal NPFA low through
U2B-5. This signal pulls the R29/D10 junction to the ground, and removes the
reverse-bias from the transistor, Q1. Q1 turns on through R2 and powers the
indicator, DS5. The audible alarm enables through U13-21 and U13-22. To
reset this alarm, press the Silence/Reset key.
Logic Circuits for the Alarms
The following four programmable logic integrated circuits contain most of the
logic of the controller P.C. board:
• U44
• U13
• U14
• U15
Clock
The programmable logic chip, U13, contains most of the alarm logic.
If any alarm condition occurs, the condition latches into an internal register of
U13. However, the alarm condition is not passed to the alarm latches until
U13’s register clock, pin 1, goes high. The circuit containing U9, U12A,
U12C, and U11C derives the clock signal. The U13 clock signal comes from
the Q output, pin 13 of the D flip-flop, U9B. Under normal conditions, the
reset of this register is held active, thus preventing spurious alarm clock
signals. When an alarm condition occurs, the ALARM signal at U12A-1 goes
high, releasing the reset of U9B, allowing the clock signals to generate. This

Theory of Operation
happens about 7 seconds after an alarm occurs because the clock signal
L14SEC, which is a pulse, occurs every 7 seconds. Due to the momentary
alarm level transitions, this guards against false alarms. If the alarm condition
clears before the 7-second time period, U12A-3 goes high again, and no alarm
sounds. This alarm delay is bypassed during the Auto-Test cycle. Alarms may
be cleared in different manners, depending on the alarm.
Logic
If the alarm condition is still present after the delay, the appropriate alarm latch
of U13 activates, and thus enables the corresponding alarm output of U13, the
corresponding indicator driver of either U2, U20, U21, or U22 and its
associated indicators, DS1 through DS4 and DS11. The alarm indicator drive
signal is gated with a square-wave from the clock circuitry to flash the
indicators at a 1.2 Hz frequency. Information concerning the type of alarm
passes on to the appropriate alarm indicator.
Alarm Indicators
There are the following six bar-type LED indicators, one for each of the
alarms:
• High Temp alarm—DS1
• Heater Temp alarm—DS3
• Sensor alarm—DS2
• Low DC alarm—DS4
• Airflow alarm—DS11
• Power Failure alarm—DS5
Audible Output
The audible alarm circuit consists of U4, D15, D16, R54, and DS12. This
circuit comprises the free-running oscillator whose output drives a buzzer,
DS12. Transistor Q3’s collector controls the state of the oscillator. When it is
low, the oscillator is off, and there is no drive to the buzzer. When it is high,
the oscillator runs, the drive to the buzzer enables, and the tone sounds. The
basic drive signal NBUZZ controls the state of the Q3 collector. The NBUZZ
signal is an output from the buzzer control PAL, U15. During the Auto-Test
function, the alarm is disabled.
The audible alarm also enables momentarily when the Set Temp switch, S3, is
pressed, alerting the user that the setpoint temperature is being displayed on the

Theory of Operation
digital display. This is done on the leading edge of the read/set latch transition
to U44. The alarm enables for about 53 milliseconds.
Alarm Silence and Reset
Switch S5 performs both the alarm reset and the alarm silence functions. The
logic for the alarm function is contained in PAL, U44. The alarm latches reset
after the Auto-Test cycle and at power-up. If the alarm condition is cleared, the
latches reset when S5 is pressed. If the alarm condition still exists, the reset
occurs. However, if the alarm condition is either the Sensor, Low DC, or
Airflow alarm, it may be silenced for about 5 minutes through the alarm
silence circuitry in PAL, U14. The timer is non-resettable, and it cannot
reactivate until the 5-minute time period elapses.
The timer is held disabled as long as no alarm is present, and enables when an
alarm occurs. 3
Auto-Test Function
The Auto-Test cycle begins when power is first applied to the control panel.
For the Auto-Test cycle, refer to table 3-1 on page 3-27.
Table 3-1. Auto-Test Cycle

Theory of Operation
C9, R3, U7A, and U7B provide a power-up signal. This power-up pulse
initiates the following functions:
• Through U15, it prevents the High Temp alarm from blanking the Heater
Power indicator.
• It lights all of the Heater Power indicators.
• It disables the audible alarm through R110.
• It activates U13 through U15 and Q24, providing the alarm test functions at
power-up.
When U3-15 goes high after about 7 seconds, the Auto-Test latch resets
through U8A. When this occurs, the Alarm Test switches disable, and the
mono-stable in U44 is triggered. The logic in U44 sets the read/set latch to Set
Mode, enabling DS6, and displaying the 36.0°C (96.8°F) nominal power-up
temperature setpoint on the Temperature display.
The U44-16 output, NSETP, provides a reset signal to the counter, U3, through
U11A. The alarm latches reset through U13.
The read/set latch remains in this state until U11B-6 goes low in about 14
seconds, resetting the latch through U5C-10. When this occurs, the Auto-Test
cycle completes, and the Temperature display reverts to normal operation,
indicating the hood temperature.
During the Auto-Test cycle, the analog switches, U28, the transistors, Q2 and
Q24, and the integrated circuits, U13 through U15 and U44, test the alarm
circuitry. When three circuits enable during the Auto-Test function, they
simulate the alarm conditions and activate all alarm circuits.

HILL-ROM COMPANY, INC.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Hill-Rom Company, Inc. (Hill-Rom) has a long tradition of providing superior products and service to our customer. Our goal
is “Total Customer Satisfaction”. In that spirit, Hill-Rom is proud to offer the following warranty.
GENERAL WARRANTY (APPLICABLE UNLESS A SPECIFIC WARRANTY IS LISTED)
Hill-Rom warrants to the original purchaser that its products and replacement parts shall be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of delivery. Hill-Rom’s obligation under this warranty is expressly
limited to supplying replacement parts and/or service for, or replacing, at its option, any product which is, in the sole
discretion of Hill-Rom, found to be defective. In addition to the foregoing one year warranty, Hill-Rom warrants to the
original purchaser that the frame and welds on its products will be free from structural defects for the life of the product. Any
product upgrade or modification initiated by Hill-Rom does not affect the original product warranty.
SPECIFIC WARRANTIES
MATTRESS WARRANTIES
Hill-Rom warrants to the original purchaser that its mattress product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship
for a period of two (2) years from date of delivery. However, electro mechanical mattress components (compressors, valves,
printed circuit boards, hoses, and couplers) are covered by the general one (1) year warranty.
EXPENDABLES WARRANTIES
A sixty (60) day limited warranty from date of delivery applies to expendable parts such as cushions, coverlets, software
diskettes, locator badge batteries, dome light incandescent bulbs, overhead fluorescent tubes, heating elements, temperature
probes, filter sheets, and microspheres. This warranty is limited to replacement of the parts covered.
TO OBTAIN PARTS AND SERVICE
In the United States, call Hill-Rom Technical Support Department at (800) 445-3720, Monday through Friday. In Canada,
call Hill-Rom Technical Support Department at (800) 267-2337, Monday through Friday. Outside the United States and
Canada, call your authorized Hill-Rom Distributor. In order to expedite service, we request you furnish the following
information: customer identification number, product model number, serial number, and description of problem. A qualified
specialist will provide, via telephone (United States and Canada), or FAX (Outside the United States and Canada),
troubleshooting assistance for facility personnel and provide necessary parts to make repairs. If troubleshooting determines
the need for on-site technical service, a qualified service representative will be dispatched. Replacement of non-technical
items will be the responsibility of the customer. If requested by Hill-Rom, products or parts for which a warranty claim is
made shall be returned prepaid to Hill-Rom’s factory.
OUT OF WARRANTY EXCHANGE POLICY
After the expiration of the original warranty, upon request, Hill-Rom will ship as a replacement, components such as selected:
motors and printed circuit boards, for like units returned to Hill-Rom by the original purchaser at a substantial savings. Please
call Hill-Rom Technical Support Department for current pricing.
PARTS AVAILABILITY POLICY
Hill-Rom will offer parts for new and remanufactured products for ten (10) years from date of sale; for communications

products for five (5) years from date of sale.
Note: Some original component parts and assemblies may not be available; functional equivalents may be substituted.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES
AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS OF PURPOSE. HILL-ROM’S OBLIGATION UNDER THESE
WARRANTIES SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DIRECT, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR DELAYS. Some states, provinces, or countries do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply. Any improper or
negligent use, any alterations or repairs not in accordance with Hill-Rom’s manuals or performed by others in such manner as
in Hill-Rom’s sole judgment affects the product materially and adversely, shall void these warranties. These warranties do not
cover failures due to misuse, abuse, neglect, or lack of routine maintenance. No employee or representative of Hill-Rom is
authorized to change these warranties in any way or grant any other warranty unless in writing and signed by a Hill-Rom
officer. These warranties provide specific legal rights; but, there may be other available rights, which vary from state to state,
province to province, or country to country.

Cleaning
SHOCK HAZARD:
WARNING:
When performing cleaning and maintenance procedures, ensure that
the oxygen supply to the incubator is turned off and that the incubator is
disconnected from the oxygen supply. A fire and explosion hazard
exists when cleaning and maintaining the incubator in an oxygen-
enriched environment.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Unplug the unit from its power source. Failure to do so could result in
SHOCK HAZARD:
To disconnect the batteries from the incubator, loosen the battery
compartment fastening knob, and slide the compartment out
approximately 5 cm (2"). Failure to do so could result in personal injury
SHOCK HAZARD:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture that would allow for liquid
pooling. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleaners/detergents, such as scouring pads and
heavy duty grease removers, or solvents, such as toluene, xylene, and
acetone. Equipment damage could occur.
At a minimum, thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubator upon discharge of 6

an infant. However, depending on individual facility policy, clean and disinfect
as often as daily, if desired. The most effective way to clean is to first
disassemble, and then group the parts and/or assemblies in categories
according to the method of cleaning required (see “Disassembly, Cleaning, and
Assembly” on page 6-5).

Cleaning
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids, we recommend that you
clean the unit with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired,
you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in
“Disinfecting” on page 6-4.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can
damage mechanisms in this unit.
Cleaning Hard to Clean Spots

To remove difficult spots or stains, we recommend that you use standard
household cleansers and a soft-bristled brush. To loosen heavy, dried-on soil,
you may first need to saturate the spot.
Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage and between patients, we recommend that you
1
disinfect the unit with a tuberculocidal disinfectant, such as Kleenaseptic®
Germicidal Cleanser. (For customers in the US, the disinfectant should be
registered with the Environmental Protection Agency.)
Dilute the disinfectant according to the manufacturer's instructions.

See “Cleaning” on page 6-3.
3. Every 3 to 4 months during routine service or maintenance, or when overt

contamination is known or suspected, perform the following to clean the
lower shell:
WARNING:
The heater fins may be hot enough to burn. Do not touch the heater fins
until the unit has cooled for at least 30 minutes.
a. Remove any lint from the heater fins (O), fan motor impeller (P), and
air temperature probe (Q) (see figure 6-2 on page 6-7).
b. Wipe the heater fins (O), air temperature probe (Q), fan motor impeller
(P), and adjacent surfaces with a clean cloth or paper towel moistened
with the detergent/disinfectant solution.
c. Allow the heater fins (O), air temperature probe (Q), fan motor
impeller (P), and adjacent surfaces to air dry.
4. Clean the humidity chamber (R) and upper shell (K):

a. Using a detergent/disinfectant, thoroughly clean all surfaces of the
humidity chamber (R) and upper shell (K).
b. Using a clean cloth or paper towel, dry the humidity chamber (R) and
upper shell (K).

Lubrication Requirements
Lubrication Requirements
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone-based lubricants. Equipment damage could occur.
1
Oilite® bearings and bushings are utilized in several places on the system. By
retaining oil, the pores give a self-lubricating quality to the bearings and
bushings. If any silicone-based lubricant is applied to the bearings and
bushings or anywhere else on the system, this self-lubricating quality is
neutralized.
It is safe to apply the following lubricants to the system (see table 6-1 on page
6-13):
Table 6-1. Lubricants
Part Number Description

8252 (100) 2 oz m-1 oil (apply to Oilite® bearings and bushings)

Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should perform preventive
maintenance on the Transport Incubator. Preventive maintenance
performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The Transport Incubator requires an effective maintenance program. We

recommend that you perform annual preventive maintenance (PM) and testing
for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
PM and testing not only meet JCAHO requirements but will help ensure a
long, operative life for the Transport Incubator. PM will minimize downtime
due to excessive wear.
The following PM schedule guides you through a normal PM procedure on the

Transport Incubator. During this PM process, check each item on the schedule,
and make the necessary adjustments.
Follow the PM schedule with the corresponding PM checklist. This checklist is

designed to keep a running maintenance history and subsequent repair costs for
one Transport Incubator. However, your facility can modify this checklist or
design another to fit your needs. Two effective ways to reduce downtime and
ensure the patient remains comfortable are keeping close records and
maintaining the Transport Incubator.
