Finetech Module Interface
All current and future Finetech® modules will communicate via a common interface
bus.
For this connect all Finetech® boxes in a chain as shown in the picture above. Begin
with the Placer Control Box and connect all further module boxes with the delivered
interface cables (Western Plug) in any order. Please note that the last box in the
chain must be terminated by the terminal resistor plug.

Operating Instructions For The Placer Control Box
3.4.1
Switching on
Press the
POWER
switch to activate the Placer Control Box, together with all
connected modules. After each push, the
POWER
switch is disabled for three
seconds to avoid unintentional actuation.
Please be aware that the Placer Control Box cannot be switched off as long
as a component is in either the pivot arm or the pipette. This "component
recognized" status may also exist if any object inhibits free air flow to the
arm vacuum tube or to the pipette.
