Start-up
1-Place the auto-reader on a firm surface, free from
vibrations, away from sunlight, currents of hot or cold air,
chemicals and corrosive or flammable substances. Do not
place the equipment in a way that disconnection of the
plug from the power supply could be difficult. Leave a
gap of at least 10 cm from the wall. Do not move the auto-
reader periodically or during its use. Connect the auto-
reader to a secure and stable electrical power source.
Do not wet or heat the auto-reader. If liquid is
spilled on the auto-reader, disconnect it and dry
it immediately. Before turning on, verify that all
reading positions are empty.
To verify the proper functioning of the equipment,
readout of unexposed BIs should be performed in every
incubation position. The result from this readout should
be positive. Follow the instructions of this guide in order
to carry out readout.
2- Turn on the incubator by connecting the end of the
AC of the power supply to the power source and then
connect the other end of the source (plug) on the rear of
the unit. The equipment will start by running the last time
and temperature set-up.
3-Synchronize the incubator with local time. See
configuration methods in the
Time setting mode
section
All devices are manufactured with the following
settings:
- Time zone: UTC +0:00
- Printing language: English
If you want to change the time zone, refer to
Modification
of time zone
section. If you want to change the print
language, refer to
Modification of print language
section.
4- Check that required incubation temperature is correct.
To change it, press button
for 3 seconds. Lights
corresponding to 37 ºC and 60 ºC will start blinking,
indicating that the temperature program must be
selected. Press the button
to select the incubation
temperature program, 37 ºC or 60 ºC. After 3 seconds,
temperature modification will be accepted.
For 37 ºC, the auto-reader will automatically select 4 hs.
final readout for all positions.
For 60 ºC the incubator allows choosing between 20
minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours final
readout. It is possible to select an incubation program
for each of the positions depending on the final reading
characteristics of the indicators to be used.
