Operator Maintenance

General
Should you experience any problems with your Hybrigene which cannot be
easily remedied, you should contact your supplier and return the unit if necessary.
Fill in the Decontamination Certificate provided with the unit and return it to
Techne Service department giving as much information as possible to help diagnose
the fault. Please remember to return the unit in its original packing, Techne accept no
responsibility for damage to units which are not properly packed: if in doubt, contact
your supplier.
Overtemperature Cutout
In the event of no heater power, check the mains plug and lead, then reset the
cutout control by switching the unit off and then on again. The cutout should reset
itself, if it does not then the unit needs repair.
Repeated operation of the cutout indicates a serious fault: you may need to
return your unit to your supplier for repair.
Fuses
If the controller fails to light when power is supplied to the unit the fuses may
have blown. Check that there is no external cause such as a faulty plug; check both
fuses and replace any faulty fuse with one of the correct value. Fuse values are given
on the label next to the mains input socket.
O ring seals on the Hybridisation Tubes
The O ring seals on the 80mm dia Hybridisation Tubes must be checked
regularly and replaced before a leak occurs. Each tube is provided with 6 spare O
rings and further O rings can be obtained from Techne or your dealer.
Hybridisation Tubes
The Hybridisation Tubes must be checked regularly and replaced if any damage
occurs. Any damage to the ends of the tubes can cause them to break when the end
caps are inserted. Further Tubes can be obtained from Techne or your dealer.
