NOTICE—Flow Cell Opening
The optical ports and the contact pad for the identification chip in
the flow cell opening are sensitive to electrostatic discharge,
contamination and scratches. Do not touch any surfaces or optical
ports in the flow cell opening.
3. Unpack the cell.
Follow these steps
1. Remove the shipping locks carefully on the left and right rear side of
the diagnostic cell.
TIP Store the shipping locks in the cell packaging to have them easily
available when storing or shipping the cell.
2. Check the position of the rotating locks on the front of the
diagnostic cell.
If the rotating locks are not in a horizontal position, turn them
counterclockwise to a horizontal position. To insert the cell, the
rotating locks must always be in a horizontal position and thus
opened.
3. Carefully insert the diagnostic cell into the flow cell opening of the
detector. The diagnostic cell must sit completely in the detector.
4. Turn the rotating locks simultaneously clockwise until they are in a
vertical position. The diagnostic cell is locked in place, when the
rotating locks arrest.
5. Close the detector doors to allow detection of the diagnostic cell.
During this, the detector reads the information on the ID chip of the
diagnostic cell.
6. If the lamp is turned on, you can open the shutter in the light path
before the diagnostic cell.
