Cleaning and Replacing the Protective Pocket
WARNING
: Always turn off the luminometer before removing
the protective pocket.
The luminometer is designed with a special protective pocket, which
can be removed for cleaning or replacement if required. To remove
the protective pocket, open the luminometer’s lid, tightly grasp the
finger grip of the pocket, gently pull the pocket upwards, and
remove it from the luminometer.
(1) Grasp finger
grip
(2) Pull pocket upwards (3) Remove pocket
CAUTION
: Great care should be taken when removing the
pocket not to damage it or the surrounding casework. Do not use
excessive force. Never use a tool to pry out the pocket.
Carefully clean the interior of the pocket using water or a very mild
detergent solution, ensuring that the pocket is completely dry and
clean before putting it back into the luminometer.
WARNING
: Do not use solvents or other strong chemicals as
these will degrade the clear optical section of the pocket and affect
the performance of the luminometer.
To replace the pocket, carefully insert it into the luminometer,
ensuring that it is correctly orientated, and then push it fully down
until it clicks into position.
(1) Insert pocket in
the orientation
shown
(2) Push fully down
until it clicks into
place
(3) Push RS232
cover back under lip
WARNING
: Do not use excessive force when replacing the
pocket. If the pocket jams during insertion, remove it fully, check
for obstructions or damage, and then try again.
Finally ensure that the black rubber RS232 cover is tucked in under
the lip and that the lid can be fully closed. (see section
5.6
).
