3.3.1 LED Status Indicators
The status indicator LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) on the front side of the
Charger provide general information about the device status. For details,
refer to
section 6.3.1 Status Indicators, page 45 .
3.3.2 Shelf
Sample racks and well plates are placed in a shelf that is mounted on the
base plate. The shelf is equipped with several guide rails (levels) to
accommodate the sample racks and well plates. Each level is labeled
with a number.
Shelves are available for sample racks and well plates of different
heights. The vertical distance between two guide rails, the so-called
pitch, indicates the clear distance of the sample racks or well plate
bottoms in millimeters. When selecting shelves, bear in mind that the
selected pitch must exceed the height of the sample container (including
cover) by at least 5 mm.
The shelf is not included in shipment and must be ordered separately.
For a list of available shelves, refer to
section 10 Accessories,
Consumables and Replacement Parts , page 77 .
