CAUTION: It is recommended that two people lift the FL600, which weighs about 23
kg (50.6 lb.). Care must be taken when moving the device or removing it from the
packaging. Hold the device firmly from the bottom of the case when lifting it.
Setting up the Bio-Tek FL600 Fluorescence Plate Reader is simply a matter of
connecting the system to the computer via the computer’s serial port, installing
the software, and setting up communications parameters. One of the serial ports
most likely already has a mouse connected to it (the FL600 software, since it
operates under Windows, requires a mouse).
Step 1: Set the incubator power switch to the appropriate voltage as
follows:
110V for 100-120V˜ operation,
220V for 200-240V˜ operation
Step 2: Turn off the PC.
Step 3: To connect the FL600, first attach the 9-pin D-type cable into the
computer’s serial port (COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4).
Step 4:
Plug the other end of the cable into the Serial Data Port located at
the rear of the FL600 Fluorescence Plate Reader.
Step 5: Connect the power cable to the back of the Plate Reader.
Step 6: Plug all power cords into grounded, electrical outlets (use of a surge
protector is strongly recommended).
