Unpacking the BlotCycler.
When you receive the BlotCycler, carefully inspect the shipping box for any damages, which may have
occurred in shipping. Any damage to the container may indicate damage to its contents.
Open the box and take out the enclosed flat box with tray and tank covers and tray plugs. Remove all solutions
and accessories parts from the box.
Using the upper part of the green Styrofoam as a handle, pull BlotCycler out of the box and put it on a flat
surface. Gently remove front and back of the protective Styrofoam; it is a good idea that you have a lab
colleague help with the system removal from the box. Remove the bag. Put the instrument on a solid and
leveled surface, and inspect for any damage.
Examine the unit carefully for any damage incurred during transit. If you suspect damage to the contents may
have occurred, immediately file a claim with the carrier in accordance with their instruction before contacting
Precision Biosystems. The warranty does not cover in-transit damage. Notify Precision Biosystems
(
) of any claim filed.
Remove the protection styrofoam insert between the black pumps inside tank. Put all parts back into the box
and save them in case you need to send instrument back for service.
Packing List:
BlotCycler with six trays
Waste tubing attached to unit
Power cord
Tray lids, 2
Tank lid, 1
Tray plugs, 4
Transformer 220-240 V /110V (optional)
Installation.
Take the power cord from the box, connect it to the back of instrument and plug into 110 V output of the
transformer. Choose the correct input voltage for transformer (use transformer instruction) and plug the
transformer into the correct outlet. Use plug adapter if required.
Place the waste tubing on the back of the instrument into a waste container (not provided) or directly into the
sink.
Make sure the longer tubing under the trays (see picture) is inserted into the
small holes in the waste collectors on the left and right sides of the
instrument.
Remove protective paper from the covers of the trays and tank.
Warning:
For personal safety the BlotCycler must be properly grounded. The user should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to be assured that the receptacle is properly grounded. Where a two-prong receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility of the user to
replace it with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter plug.
Warning:
Do not operate around flammable liquids or gases.
