Exit Tank (7)
Platform (8)
Waste Water Drain Hose (9)
Rinsing water supply (10)
Main Switch and (11) Connection to Power Supply (12)
The stainer is connected to the power supply (
12
) by the power supply
cord, and activated with the main switch (
11
).
The instrument can be operated with alternating current at 100 to
230 Volt with a power frequency of 50/60 Hz.
A connection port for the rinsing water supply is located on the rear
of the stainer. The necessary connecting hose with clamp is included
in the equipment supplied.
The waste water drain hose must always be inclined downwards so
that the rinsing water drains into a collecting receptacle or drainage
basin, and cannot collect in the stainer.
The platform holds the reagent containers, rinse containers and
the exit tank in fixed locations to ensure the proper operation of the
stainer. All 14 containers and the exit tank must be placed on the
platform to ensure proper operation of the stainer.
