Installation and commissioning
Commissioning and installation of the Sprinter XL may only be performed
by an authorised service technician of EUROIMMUN AG.
o
Place the instrument on the work surface in such a way that the main
switch and the emergency stop are easily accessible. The instrument
should be as free-standing as possible to ensure the installation and
other handling of the system for system liquids and the wash buffer
container. Also enough space is required to flip the instrument cover up.
o
Remove all packaging materials and clean the instrument.
o
Align the instrument horizontally using a spirit level. The instrument can
be adjusted with the bottom adjustable feet.
o
Connect the system liquid tube to the pipetting needles and attach them
with the headless screw. Ensure the correct orientation of the pin on the
needle!
o
Insert the shaker module and connect it to the instrument connections
using the black connecting cables. Pass the cables under the needle
washing station.
o
The waste tubes of the needle washing station and the washing module
exit the instrument on the right. Lead both tubes to the waste container.
The tubes should not be too long or droop!
o
Place the station for system liquid to the right next to the instrument.
Use the inserts and the end of the system tube with the filter, fill the
container with system liquid and place it on the station. Connect the
station with the mains adapter to the power supply and turn it on.
Connect the system tubes to the station.
o
The containers for the wash buffers are placed to the side and the wash
buffer tubes are inserted.
o
Only connect the instrument with the USB dongle to the PC once the
required software and the driver have been installed.
