Setting Up
• Unpack contents and save packaging for future shipping.
• Position Sealer on a level surface with adequate space for trays to be inserted and ejected. Sealer can be used in any orientation
(left to right or right to left).
• Attach input shelf to Sealer by inserting shelf tabs into the two slots on front of Sealer and clipping firmly in place.
• Ensure that power switch is turned off.
• Plug power cord into Sealer and then into a grounded outlet of proper voltage (see product label).
Operating Directions
WARNING: Personal injury, Sealer damage, property damage and/or inaccurate test results may occur unless Sealer is used
according to these instructions.
• Turn power switch on. The amber power light should illuminate.
• Allow the Sealer to warm up and the green ready light to illuminate (up to 20 minutes). Sealer will not operate until both the amber power
light and the green ready light are illuminated, indicating that the unit has reached operating temperature.
• Place an empty Quanti-Tray or Quanti-Tray/2000 rubber insert on the input shelf with the large cutout facing away from the Sealer.
• Place a Quanti-Tray or Quanti-Tray/2000 filled with sample and Defined Substrate Technology (DST*) reagent onto the rubber insert, making
sure that the tray is properly seated in the rubber insert, with each well of the tray in its corresponding rubber insert hole.
CAUTION: Do
not apply labels of any kind to trays prior to sealing. This could cause damage to the Sealer. Use a felt tip marker, or apply
label after the tray has been sealed.
• Slide the rubber insert with tray into the Sealer until the motor grabs the rubber insert and begins to draw it into the Sealer.
• In approximately 15 seconds, the tray will be sealed and partially ejected from the rear of the Sealer. Remove the rubber insert and tray
from the rear of the Sealer
immediately
.
• If at any time you wish to reverse the motor drawing the rubber insert into the Sealer (for example, if a misaligned tray is accidentally fed
into the Sealer), press and hold the reverse button. However, do not reverse the motor once the rubber insert has been drawn fully into the
input slot.
• Multiple rubber inserts can be run consecutively without pausing.
• Turn off Sealer when not in use.

Cleaning
The rubber inserts may be autoclaved or cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or household bleach, taking the usual precautions when handling
such liquids. Be sure to clean the rubber insert if it shows any signs of built-up grime.
Clean the outside of the Sealer with a soft, dry cloth. A soft cloth moistened with water, household bleach, or isopropyl alcohol may also
be used, taking the usual precautions when handling such liquids.
The access panel should only be opened by personnel qualified to clean the inside of the Sealer. Refer to the preventive maintenance
instructions for directions on how to clean the inside of the Sealer.
Cleaning should only be performed by trained personnel at your
facility.
Do not open the access panel or tilt the Sealer if sample is dripping from the unit.
Changing Fuses
Fuses are located in the fuse holder just above the power switch. If it is necessary to change a fuse, turn off the Sealer and unplug the
power cord from the Sealer before opening fuse holder. Use 6-amp Bussman MDL-6 fuses or equivalent in the 115-V unit and 4-amp
Bussman GDC-4 fuses or equivalent in the 230-V unit.
