the user in opening and closing the cover of the unit. It will
secure the lid and maintain it open, allowing the user to
operate the unit with both hands.

Chamber Cover
. The cover must be closed before
beginning a run. If you press
Manual Run
or
Auto Run
and
the cover is open, the display shows “lid” to remind you to
close the cover. The run will start immediately after closing the
cover.
If a user tries to open the lid at the start of the run, when the
lid has already been locked, the unit will automatically abort
the run and signal the user with the “Lid” message on the
display and an error tone. Otherwise, during a run the user
cannot open the cover due to vacuum in the concentration
chamber. The cover is locked down at all times during a run
and whenever power to the unit is interrupted.
The cover lock is an additional safety feature that reduces the
risk of injury or damage from the spinning rotor.
Do NOT
bypass the cover lock to conduct a run with the cover open.
If removal of samples from the concentrator chamber during
a power failure is required, remove the screw holding the
cover lock release cord and lightly pull it while lifting the cover.
The cover can then be opened.
