Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
WARNING
Risk of operator injury. In zonal and continuous flow operation, the operator is
unavoidably exposed to rotating machinery. For safety, the operator must be
properly instructed and qualified. Guard against accidentally dropping objects,
such as pens, pencils, or hemostats into the chamber. Loose lab coats, neckties,
scarves, and long necklaces should not be worn while operating in the zonal or
continuous flow mode.
Use only zonal/continuous flow rotors in the Zonal mode.
Zonal and Continuous Flow operations require special rotors and have some additional hazards in
that samples are loaded and unloaded while the rotor is spinning. To prevent unauthorized users
from attempting these operations, the instrument requires an authorization code (which is
1793 ).
When Zonal operations are authorized, the system displays the
Zonal Operation
Page. While in Zonal
operation, the
Home
Page button displays the Zonal Operation page. The mode does not end until
the run is complete or the user selects the
Cancel
Button to end the mode.
