Power On Sequence
Normally, the VersaDoc system should be switched on for 30 seconds before
The host computer is powered up. This protocol is required for the computer to
recognize the VersaDoc as a peripheral device.
1. Power up the VersaDoc system first.
2. Also power up the power supply block in case of the VersaDoc 3000 or CEU in case
of the VersaDoc 5000 system.
3. Power up the PC/Mac second.
4. In case of a PC, the VersaDoc system is detected via USB connection. A new
window will indicate that a new USB device has been found.
5. Proceed to the next step to complete the installation
3.2.8 Installing Filters
The VersaDoc is supplied with three emission filters and one clear filter. These
must be installed in the 8-position filter wheel before use. These filters are:
#1 520LP (Long Pass) Used for most single color fluorescent stains and
labels.
#2 530BP (Band Pass) Used for detection of green signal (FITC etc.) in
multi-color fluorescence experiments
#3 610LP (Long Pass) Used for detection of red signals (Texas Red
etc.) in multi- color fluorescence experiments
#4 Clear Used for system focus and some colorimetric
applications.
To install the filters follow the procedure below (Figure 3.19):
1. Ensure that all power and communication cables are connected and that the
VersaDoc system is turned on.
NOTE: Do not power up the PC or MAC yet.
2. Open the main door. This will expose the camera, filter assembly, filter advance
button and the lens mount assembly.
3. Loosen the left side screw of the filter wheel cover and remove the right side
thumbscrew completely by fully unscrewing it. The cover can now be rotated
downward to expose the filter wheel.
4. Push the filter advance button until filter position #1 is in the center front position.
The #1 label should be clearly visible on both sides of the filter slot.
