Install Pro Series Platelet Agitator (Optional)
Connect the data cable and DC power cable supplied with the incubator prior to placing the agitator inside the incubator. The
agitator communication switch must be set to position 1 for use in the incubator. For additional information, refer to the Platelet
Agitator Operation Manual.
Note
• Only Helmer Pro series platelet agitator may be used with Pro series platelet incubator.
•
Ensure the AC power and backup battery power are turned off on the incubator prior to connecting an agitator.
• Ensure data cable is carefully positioned to the right of the agitator to prevent damage caused by agitation motion.
• The communication switch is fragile, do not use excessive force when changing the setting.
• To ensure continuous operation of linearly shifting loads, the location surface must adequately accommodate the full
weight of the incubator and agitator when loaded with product.
•
Incubator restraining brackets are recommended when configured with an agitator operating at a setpoint speed greater
than 75 CPM, or when placed on a slick surface.
