3.8 Configure a Pro Series Platelet Agitator for Use in a Pro Series Incubator (Optional)
When a Pro Series platelet agitator is installed, motion data is transmitted between the platelet agitator and platelet incubator
through the data cable. The platelet incubator interprets the motion data and provides information regarding the status and state of
the agitator. The incubator generates its own motion alarm, based on its own alarm delay period. If enabled, the motion alarm on
the platelet agitator will sound only if motion has stopped and communication to the incubator has been lost.
Note
• Only Helmer Pro series platelet agitator may be used with Pro series platelet incubator.
• Refer to the platelet agitator service manual for more information regarding the installation of a platelet agitator in a
platelet incubator.
•
Agitation speed is set through the AgiTrak system when an agitator is configured inside an incubator. This setting
overrides the setting on the agitator speed control.
•
Helmer recommends the agitator alarm remain enabled when configured inside an incubator.
•
With the alarm enabled, the agitator alarm will time out and sound if power to the incubator is turned off for a duration
greater than the motion delay.
• In the event of a communication failure with the incubator, the agitator alarm will only sound if the agitator alarm switch
is turned ON.
