“
I

longer).
Note:
Do not position the system so that it is difficult to access the power cable and operate
the main power switch at the back of the unit.

Installing Emission Filters
To install the 50mm ethidium bromide (EtBr) filter and any
other emission filters:
1.
Carefully remove the filter from the protective plastic
case, holding the filter at the edges to prevent placing
fingerprints on the glass surface.
2.
The filter wheel is located on the user’s right side of
the darkroom. Reach up from inside the darkroom and
remove the foam block holding the filter wheel in place.
3.
Press in on the slide-out filter wheel door and the door will pop out slightly. Pull the filter
wheel assembly out until it stops.
4.
Manually rotate the filter wheel to the desired position. Place the ethidium bromide filter in
Position #1.
NOTE:
Before placing the filter in the filter wheel, ensure that the text on the edge of the
filter is positioned so it is right side up when facing the installer.
5.
Note the position of all installed filters for entry into the
Filters
menu in VisionWorks
touch
.
6.
Once all filters have been loaded, slide the filter wheel assembly back into the system
until it locks into place.
NOTE:
In order for the system to accurately determine the position of the emission filter
wheel, press the
Reset Wheel
button
in the
Filters
menu, in the software, after the wheel
has been moved by hand to load, change or remove filters. This will recalibrate the
emission filter wheel alignment. Refer to section
7.1.2
Filters
in this manual for more
information.
Additional and replacement emission filters are available through UVP. Refer to the
Replacement Parts and Accessories
section of this manual for ordering information.
