Hardware Mode
The hardware mode chosen for each run depends on the purification protocol being used. Please refer to the Technical
Bulletin for the DNA IQ™ Reference Kit for Maxwell
®
16 or DNA IQ™ Casework Pro Kit for Maxwell
®
16 for further
information on the hardware mode setting required.
The existing hardware mode (SEV or LEV) setting is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the
Home
screen. The
instrument displays the hardware mode entered and does not sense the hardware installed. Always verify that the
hardware installed matches what is displayed on the
Home
screen. Make sure that the hardware and hardware mode
are appropriate for the purification kit being used. If the installed hardware is not correct for the kit being used, remove
the installed Magnetic Rod Assembly and replace it with the appropriate Magnetic Rod Assembly (see Section 7.A).
If the installed hardware does not match the hardware mode displayed, turn the machine off, and install the
appropriate hardware with the machine turned off. When the machine is powered up after the installation, the installed
hardware will match the hardware mode displayed on the
Home
screen.
