data.
Wireless
antenna
Note: The wireless antenna may not be present on all MCS+ devices. Refer to the
Postscript to the MCS+ Operation Manual (P/N 85270-30), for further information
on the wireless feature and other communication options such as the data card
reader or communication box.
The antenna, located on the rear panel and protected by a hard plastic cover,
allows the transmission of procedure data to a wireless access point connected
to a handheld device, internal PC or network, the eLynx communication system,
or to an external computer network over the Internet.

Manual vacuum
release button
Any MCS+ device with a vacuum centrifuge contains this mechanism which can
interrupt the vacuum effect on the bowl. An MCS+ protocol functioning with the
vacuum centrifuge is designed to automatically release the vacuum force at a
specific point in the procedure. However, it may be necessary for the operator to
do this manually, as in the case of a power failure. In this type of situation, the
operator can depress the button to interrupt the vacuum force and release the
bowl, once the centrifuge and bowl have come to a complete stop.
