Instrument installation procedure
The following procedures detail the necessary steps to be followed when
installing the Instrument.
1. Place the instrument into the required position
Note: Make sure the distance between the back panel of the instrument and the wall, is
at least 5 cm.
Remove all packing material and transport lock tapes.
2. Remove all packing material from the manifold. Look for the two
manifold connecting tubes, packed together with the manifold.
Connect the aspiration tube with the red quick fit connector to the
corresponding connector at the top plate of the washer and slide the
other end of the tubing on the red connector of the manifold. Now
connect the thin dispense tubing with the blue quick fit connector to
the corresponding connector. Press down now the black pinch valve
actuator and slide the dispense tube into the side slot of the pinch
valve. Make sure that the tubing is fully inside the valve. Afterwards
slide the dispense tube on the blue connector of the manifold.
Place the manifold now on the horizontal manifold holder bar so that the
two holding pins are resting in the slots of the manifold holder.
3. Connect the long aspiration tube with the red fitting to the connector at
the backside of the washer and to the waste bottle.
4. Connect the wash fluid tube with blue fitting to the connector at the
backside of the washer and to the wash bottle.
5. Connect the rinse fluid tube with the white fitting to the connector at
the backside of the washer and to the rinse bottle.
6. Ensure that the mains power switch at the back panel of the instrument
is in the OFF position.
7. Insert the power cable into the mains power socket in the back panel of
the instrument.
8.
Switch the washer on.
If the instrument is turned on using the power switch on the rear side of
the device the green power indicator on the left front side of the device has
to be illuminated.
When connecting the instrument with an external computer make sure the
instrument is switched off (the power indicator is dark). If the instrument
is turned on turn it off using the power switch on the rear side of the
device.
