Selecting a
Location The MagNA Pure Compact Instrument requires
very little setup. Choose for the MagNA

stable surface within 3 m of a compatible
electrical outlet. To ensure proper ventilation,
leave 10 cm of space behind the instrument and
15 cm at each side of the instrument. No space is
needed at the back of the instrument.
To carry the instrument, place your hands under
the base of the instrument. For this purpose, the
instrument base plate provides four recessed
carrier grips. The weight of the MagNA Pure
Compact Instrument is approx. 60 kg, ensure that
enough manpower is available for transportation.

UV Light
Protection The door permits a good view of the interior of
the instrument. During the decontamination
cycle, the door prevents escape of UV light from
the interior. The Front Door is impervious to UV light from
inside the Instrument, in case the decontamina-
tion function is activated, but permits good view
to the inside of the Instrument. However do not
look at the UV source directly.
Locking of the door is controlled by the software.
Movement of the Robotic Arm is only possible
after the Instrument Door is closed and locked.
