Electromagnetic Compatibility
·
To confirm proper operation: The electromagnetic environment should
be evaluated prior to operation of the system.
·
Do not use this system in close proximity to sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. unshielded intentional RF sources), as
these may interfere with proper operation.
·
If you notice any interference, discontinue using the system until all
issues are resolved. Resolution may include moving cords from other
equipment away from the system, plugging the system into an outlet on
a different circuit from other equipment, or moving the system away from
other equipment. If you still have difficulties, contact COYOTE.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the block and housing as needed, following these directions.
Caution: If hazardous or biohazardous materials are spilled onto or into
the equipment, clean it immediately.
1. Turn the system off and allow the block to cool completely.
2. Using a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with clean water, gently wipe
the surfaces of the equipment. If a stronger cleaning agent is needed,
use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with 95% isopropyl alcohol.
Follow these practices for regular maintenance of your Mini8 Plus system.
1. Every time before using the system, visually check it to confirm there
is no obvious physical damage such as dents, frayed cords, or damaged
levers. If you see any damage, discontinue using and contact COYOTE
Technical Support.
2. Once a year, run a known test sample to confirm accurate analysis.
