5.2 Moving and Positioning the iCELLis 500+ Control System
WARNING!
Risk of injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment!
Manipulation and repositioning of iCELLis 500+ control system must be completed when the
iCELLis 500+ bioreactor is completely empty and must be done by two or more persons due to the
weight of the bioreactor.
DANGER!
Risk of injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment!
Before installing the iCELLis 500+ control system, verify that the floor can support the weight of the
system, the ancillary equipment and their content (such as cell culture media).
WARNING!
Risk of injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment!
Before each
moving operation
, turn the iCELLis 500+ control system OFF, unplug the system from
the AC power, shut down gas supply, disconnect gas lines, remove the bioreactor, remove the
manifolds and all liquids.
WARNING!
Risk of injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment!
The iCELLis 500+ control system must stand on its feet. Feet must be locked and leveled prior to
powering the unit.
The iCELLis 500+ control system can be moved on its castors. Only the bottom assembly must be
used to push or pull the unit. Do not push or pull from the docking station. Please do not move the
equipment in any other way than instructed.
Unlocking Load Cells
ALERT!
Risk of damage to equipment!
The iCELLis 500+ control system is equipped with load cells under the docking station for bioreactor
weight measurement. Load cells must be secured using the supplied locking plates during control
system transport and handling to avoid damage.
Locking plates must be removed prior to use of the system.
ALERT!
Risk of damage to equipment!
Do not tilt the iCELLis 500+ bioreactor on the docking station during draining of the double jacket. Load
cells can be damaged.
Please do not discard locking plates and store them in a safe place to be able to lock the load cells
during future transport and handling of the iCELLis 500+ control system.
The iCELLis 500+ control system is equipped with 3 load cells which are locked during transport
(Figure 7a).
Remove the locking plate for each load cell after the control system has been installed at its final
location. Unscrew the Anti-Lift bolt with a 13 mm spanner and remove the Checking Sleeve (Figure 7b).
Remove the Centering Spacer and the Locking Plate (Figure 7c). Place back the Checking Sleeve and
the Anti-Lift Bolt (Figure 7d).
