Note: Before first operation remove protection
material from inside the system!
1. Setting up the Computer
Connect printer, screen, keyboard and mouse to
the computer with the appropriate connection
cables.
Connect computer, screen and printer to AC
power line.
2. Connecting the CyFlow
®
space to power line
The CyFlow
®
space must be operated with AC
100/240 V 50/60 Hz.
3. Connecting the CyFlow
®
space to a
Computer
The CyFlow
®
space runs with a standard
Windows
®
PC or notebook (optional). This makes
the latest computer technology available at any
time. The integrated FloMax
®
software controls all
functions of the CyFlow
®
space, e.g. instrument
settings, sample supply, sheath pressure and
sample flow rate.
The Computer connections of the CyFlow
®
space
are located at the rear side of the instrument.
Connect the CyFlow
®
space to the computer
with the interface cable.
The laser connection is
only required for the
200 mW
488 nm laser.
There is a CCD camera inside the CyFlow
®
space
optical bench to monitor the focus of the objective
and the sample flow inside the cuvette.
Connect
the camera signal outlet (CCD) to the Video In
connection of the computer with the video
connection cable
.
Network support of the CyFlow
®
space is provided
through a standard ethernet connection by the
Windows
®
computer.
Please refer
to the
Windows
®
manuals for details on how to set up a
network connection.
4. Connecting the CyFlow
®
space to sheath
and waste containers
Connect the sheath tube and the air tube of
the sheath fluid container
to the corresponding
connectors at the right side of the CyFlow
®
space.
Connect the waste fluid container
to the waste
outlet at the right side of the CyFlow
®
space.
All tubes are labeled accordingly.
Note
Make sure that the sheath and waste fluid bottles
stand on the same level as the instrument to
prevent that hydrostatic pressure is influencing the
sheath fluid pressure.
