2. Attach the Oxygen Source to the Vaporizer (Figure 2):
a. To connect the oxygen regulator (B) to the
vaporizer (C), use the green oxygen hose.
b. Attach the green oxygen hose from the regulator
output to the vaporizer stand input at the back of
the vaporizer stand.
3. Connect the Induction Chamber:
a. Connect the induction chamber hose from the
chamber input (F) to the valve on the vaporizer
stand marked ‘To Chamber’.
b. Connect the large diameter hose from the chamber
exhaust to the charcoal filter canister.
c. Rest the charcoal filter canister on the filter stand.
4. Connect the iBox panel (Figure 3) to the back of the
darkroom. On the iBox Explorer, the panel should
attach to the left side of the darkroom. The black side of
the panel should face the inside of the darkroom.
5. Connect the Breathing Device/Manifold:
a. Connect the inflow tube to the valve on the
vaporizer stand marked ‘To Breather’ then attach
the tube to the back of the iBox ‘Inlet’ port.
b. Attach the exhaust tube with the white cap from the
back of the iBox ‘Exhaust’ port to the charcoal filter
canister.
c. Rest the charcoal filter canister on the filter stand.
6. Assemble the warming plate and breathing
device/manifold:
a. The breathing device/manifold has two adjustable
positions for imaging mice and rats. If imaging
mice, loosen the knobs and allow the breather to
drop to the lowest position in the holder. If imaging
rats, use the breather in its highest position. After
positioning the breather, tighten the knobs.
b. For the iBox Scientia and Spectra, attach the five
nosecones to the breathing device/manifold and
insert the black plugs into the unused nosecones to
prevent gas from escaping into the darkroom. Large
nosecones are designed for rats while small
nosecones are designed for mice (Figure 4).
c. In the iBox Explorer, attach the breathing
device/manifold bracket to the built-in warming
plate using the two all-thread screws protruding
