10.1 Transport
NOTICE
Use suitable packaging material and transport locks!
Unsuitable packaging material may cause damage to the device! Only transport the
qTOWER
3
84 in its original packaging and with the transport lock in place! Information on
proper packaging is included with the device.
Observe the safety instructions in the section "Safety instructions, transport and installa-
tion" p. 10. Transport the qTOWER
3
84 and its components very carefully to prevent
damage from impact or vibration. The device should be transported in such a way that
major temperature fluctuations are avoided and the formation of condensate is thus
prevented.
10.2 Placing the transport lock
Before packing the qTOWER
3
84, the transport lock for the upper part that contains the
fluorescence photometer must be installed. If the transport lock is no longer available,
you can place an empty PCR plate in the sample block. The qTOWER
3
84
must be
connected with the PC and the qPCRsoft384 program must be started for the installa-
tion process. The installation is software-controlled:
