Figure 3.1 Installing the Block Module

Thermistor Positioning

The control thermistor probe (when required) should be inserted into socket A2 to the left of the

block towards the rear of the instrument (see fig 3.2).

Ensure that the tube contains the same volume of mineral oil as the sample reaction volume, and that

the probe is immersed in the oil and not touching the wall of the reaction vessel.

Figure 3.2 Well Numbering Showing Tube Thermistor Positioning in A2

Use in Cold Rooms

The Px2 may be used in a cold room (down to 4

C). However, when removed to room temperature

the instrument should be allowed to equilibrate for at least two hours before being switched on. If

equilibration is not done, condensation may form within the unit and cause a short circuit.
