6 Liquidus Tracker
The Type-A USB connector on the Controller is only to be used for connecting to a USB flash drive
or similar media.
The 9-way D-Type plug on the Controller is only to be used for connecting to the RS232 serial port
of the peristaltic pumps of the liquidus tracking system.
The 6 Way DIN socket is to be used for connection to the liquidus tracker external power supply
if required.
The Sample PRT socket on the chamber's rear panel is only to be used with a Planer Sample
PRT.
User servicing is limited to cleaning and decontamination. All other servicing must only be
undertaken by suitably qualified engineers.
To avoid risk of fire, fuses must always be replaced with the same type and rating.
The Series 500 chambers weigh 23 Kg and require at least two people for safe handling. Do not
attempt to lift using the edges of the case but use the bottom chassis plate.
When switched on but not running a profile, the Series 500 chambers and contents may
eventually become hot enough to cause burns.
When heating under manual control, check the chamber temperature at intervals of 30 seconds or
less to avoid overheating.
Do not move the chamber whilst still wet after a freezing run.
The liquidus tracker requires significant volumes of cryoprotectants, such as Dimethyl Sulfoxide
(DMSO), to be used. These solutions and their vapours are potentially hazardous to health and it
is essential that the material safety data sheets (MSDS) for these materials are examined and
appropriate provisions put in place before use.
The volume of solution used will vary according to the requirements of the profiles to be run.
However, runs will typically use several litres of cryoprotectant.
1.3 EMC precautions
The system fulfils the requirements of EN 61326 Class A equipment.
Note
The following precautions must be taken to ensure that the equipment is not damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD), and that its immunity to radio frequency interference is not
compromised.
Ensure that the controller is not running a program and that the mains power is disconnected
before connecting or disconnecting any cable.
Fit the plastic covers and plugs provided to all unused connectors.
Immediately before touching the sample PRT, touch an earthed part, such as the metal surface at
the rear of the controller.
Do not touch any uncovered connectors with your hands or tools, even when the equipment is
switched off.
