Uninstalling LED Modules
To uninstall LED banks:
1. Open the lower front door of the FLIPR
®
Tetra System.
2. Loosen the two silver Latching Clamps securing the excitation
optics module to the left light pipe.
3. Pull the excitation optics module down and away from light pipe
to disengage the Power Connectors on the LED banks from
the light pipe. Be careful not to scratch the bandpass filters
when pulling LED banks out of the instrument.
Remove the
Foam Insert found on the rear side of the
excitation optics module.
WARNING! During the exchange procedure, you will have
access to precision optical components. Use appropriate care
not to damage them. Specifically, do not touch the surfaces of
the LED filters with your bare fingers or other objects.
Note: Once the lower door is open, power to the LEDs is
disabled.
