System Login
The Titan MPS has three login authority levels allowing controlled access to
various capabilities of the built-in controller. These login levels are identified as
User, Administrator (abbreviated as Admin) and Service. The Service login is
restricted to authorized PerkinElmer Service Engineers. The default passcode for
both the User and Admin login is
0000 , allowing easy first-time instrument setup.
These passcodes can be changed in the Setup menu by the customer to enable User/
Admin access protocols.
As a general overview, the User login is restricted to selecting methods and
datafiles, entering sample data, performing a digestion and reviewing digestion
data. The Admin login adds the ability to enter the setup menu, edit and create
methods, export and delete datafiles, and perform method development.
A list of the access restrictions for each login is listed below.
Note
All digestion vessels are subject to a long term aging process which is
dependent on the type and frequency of digestions. It is recommended to
replace the digestion vessels after approximately 10,000 digestion cycles
to maintain reliable operating performance.
Caution
The minimum liquid amount ( reagent) for each digestion vessel
is approximately 5ml.
The microwave oven requires a minimum load of approximately 20ml of
liquid distributed among the digestion vessels. If lower volumes of liquid
must be used, at least four vessels must be used for each digestion run in
order to achieve the required minimum load.
If the total liquid amount employed is too low, the oven may be
damaged during longer digestion cycles!
An inadequate liquid load can
also result in overheating of the turntable or oven cavity and the potential
to damage to the turntable or the magnetrons.
