Chapter 2: Installation
•
Excessive humidity:
Condensation directly on the sensitive electronic circuits
can cause the reader to fail internal self-checks. The specified relative humidity
range for this reader is from 10% to 85% (non-condensing).
•
Excessive ambient light:
Bright sunlight or strong incandescent light may affect
the reader’s optics and readings, reducing its linear performance range.
•
Dust:
Readings may be affected by extraneous particles (such as dust) in the
microplate wells. A clean work area is necessary to ensure accurate readings.

If you will be installing BioTek’s BioStack Microplate Stacker for
operation with the Synergy HTX, you may wish to seat the BioStack
and the reader in their aligning plates at this time. Refer to the
BioStack Operator’s Manual for more information.
6: Connect the Power Supply
Warning! Power Rating.
The power supply must be
connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and
current within the specified rating for the system. Use of an
incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical shock
and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding.
Never use a plug adapter to
connect primary power to the external power supply. Use of an
adapter disconnects the utility ground, creating a severe shock
hazard. Always connect the power cord directly to an
appropriate receptacle with a functional ground.
1. Plug the rounded end of the power supply’s cord into the power inlet on the rear of
the reader.
2. Connect the power cord to the external power supply.
3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate power receptacle.
