WARNING
Electrical hazard
Any interruption of the protective conductor (earth/ground lead)
inside or outside the instrument or disconnection of the protective
conductor terminal is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Lethal voltages inside the instrument
When the instrument is connected to line power, terminals may be
live and opening covers or removing parts is likely to expose live
parts.

Powering ON the QIAcuity
Check that the QIAcuity operates properly:
1. Ensure that the drawer of the QIAcuity is closed.
2. Power ON the QIAcuity using the blue front power switch.
3. The startup screen appears. The instrument automatically performs initialization tests.
Note : The main power switch in the back must be switched on as well.
Note : If ambient temperature is below 17°C (63°F), an equilibration phase of 30–60 min
might be required. After the equilibration phase, the error can be cleared and the instrument
is operational after restart.
4. Note : For QIAcuity One, if a plate is still in the drawer while restarting the instrument, an error
will be displayed (Error 33), as the instrument cannot perform initialization tests. Unload the
plate and clear the error as stated on the UI, and restart the instrument again.
5. If there is an initialization error, retry the initialization process by turning the instrument off
and on again. If the problem persists, see Troubleshooting the instrument and software or
contact QIAGEN Technical Services.
Note : The instrument must be turned off at least once a week.
