Removing the Fluidics Module
6.
Locate and loosen the quarter-turn fasteners in the metal plate
where the bottom of the fluidics module is attached to the
detection chamber.
7.
Lift the fluidics module carefully off the detection chamber and
set it on the bench.
8.
Clean the spill or remove tips. If you are attempting to remove
tips, remove any obvious ones on top or around the sides of the
reading chamber. If you look through the openings in the read
head, you might be able to see tips inside.
If you see tips all the way down in the bottom tray of the
instrument, you can safely leave them there. They will be out of
the way of the operation of the read heads.
9.
Reattach the fluidics module by following the steps above in the
reverse order, or see
Installing the Fluidics Module on page 53
.
10.
Lower the top cover over the instrument.
11.
Reattach the power cord and computer cables.
If you see tips lodged inside the reading chamber, contact Technical
Support. Do not attempt to tilt or remove the read heads on your own.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to tilt or remove the read heads as this can
damage fragile optical components and can void your warranty.
