Installation
1. Place the unit on a suitable flat bench, ensuring that the air inlet vents on the front and rear are
free from obstruction. Two Satellite units may be stacked one on top of the other.
2. Plug the mains cable into the socket on the back of the instrument.
3. Connect to the mains electricity supply with the plug provided or one wired correctly for the
supply. Switch the power ON using the switch located on the front of the unit.
4. Open the drawer by pushing on the front drawer panel then pull the drawer forwards to access the
block.
5. Place the samples in the block. If individual tubes or strip tubes are being used, space these out
evenly across the block to equalise the pressure from the heated lid.
