Hybrimune Hybridoma Production System

Setting Up the Hybrimune™ System
All of the cables necessary to install the equipment are included in
the Hybrimune System. They are:
1. Serial Interface Cable, contained within the cable set
2. Line/Mains Power Cord, contained within the cable set
3. Chamber Connection Cable, Item Number 47-0302
BEFORE PROCEEDING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LINE/MAINS
SWITCH AT THE LOWER LEFT OF THE FRONT PANEL IS IN THE
OFF (O) POSITION AND THAT THE POWER CORD IS NOT PLUGGED
INTO THE LINE/MAINS INPUT.
Serial Cable:
Connect the serial cable between the
D-Subminiature 9-position (DB9) connector labeled “Computer
Control” on the back of the unit and a serial port on the computer.
This is the communication link between the microprocessor within
the waveform generator and the computer. It is a standard RS-
232 serial communication. If only USB ports are available on the
computer, then a USB-to-Serial converter will be necessary. These
converters are widely available; however they are not available
from BTX. See next page for more information.
BTX HARVARD APPARATUS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A
USB-TO-SERIAL CONVERTER IS 100% APPLICABLE. THE USE OF
AN RS-232 SERIAL INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED.
Line/Mains Power Cord
: Plug this cord into the power input
receptacle labeled “Line/Mains In”. Plug the other end into an
outlet supplying suitable electric power.
Chamber Connection Cable
: There are two connections made with
this cable assembly. Using the figures shown in the “Chamber Cable
Connections” area of the back panel, connect the SHV-type coaxial
plug to the jack labeled “Waveform Out”. Then connect the RCA-
type phono-plug to the jack labeled “Chamber Enable”. Generally,
this cable only needs to be connected at the time that a chamber is
to be used.

Waveform Generator Front Panel
Display
There are eight status indicators on the front panel, divided into
two groups. Before powering-up the system, the user should
become familiar with them.
System Status Group
The function of this group is to inform the user of
the overall state of the waveform generator when it is powered-
up. This group consists of four LED
(light emitting diode) indicators.
• “Power”, green LED: Indicates that the internal
power supplies and the system microprocessor
are receiving adequate power. It should be
illuminated at all times when the waveform
generator is turned on.
• “Ready”, green LED: Indicates that the
waveform generator is ready to deliver a
electrofusion waveform to an attached Chamber.
It will only be illuminated when the internal
microprocessor detects no problems and when
the Chamber Cable is properly connected.
• “Internal Fault”, red LED: Indicates that a
problem occurred inside of the unit during a
protocol run. If illuminated, the system requires
a Reset. If the problem persists, BTX Customer
Service should be contacted before proceeding.
Under normal operating conditions, this LED
will not be illuminated.
