Do not reach into slot when power is turned on
To prevent electric shock, do not reach into a slot and/or touch the power
contacts at the rear of the slot when the power is turned on to the instrument.
If you need to access the slot (for example, for cleaning), turn the power off to
the instrument and unplug the power cable.
High temperatures
The thermal microplate holders are designed to stop heating if temperatures
reach 85°C ± 5°C in the unlikely event that temperature control to a microplate
holder is lost or enters a runaway condition. Microplate holders at this
temperature will be hot when touched. To help prevent loss of temperature
control, ensure the power contacts on the back of the microplate holder are
clean and free from dirt or corrosion and that the holder is correctly inserted
into the slot before you start the processing protocol.
8.2.3 Temperature
Changing programmed temperature setting
When you change the programmed temperature setting, ensure the slot
temperature is at the new target setting before you start the processing
protocol. The instrument does not prevent the processing protocol from
starting if the slot is not at the target temperature. You can view the actual slot
temperatures on the instrument display. Refer to Section 6.5.
Slot warmup time
Allow the slots to reach the programmed target temperature before you start
any processing protocol. The slot has reached the target temperature when the
orange LED has stopped flashing and stays continuously orange. Refer to
Section 6.3.
Slot temperature
Before you start the processing protocol, ensure the temperature of the slot is
within the acceptable range appropriate for the application to be carried out.
You can view the actual slot temperature on the instrument display. Refer to
Section 6.5.
8.2.4 Shaking
Module shake speed set by the most recently started processing protocol
The slots within a module shake at the speed that is programmed into the most
recently started processing protocol. Incorrect shaking speed may result if you
start a protocol within the same module that has a shaking speed different from
the other slots already in use. To minimize the likelihood of this occurring, it is
recommended you program all processing protocols within a module with the
same shaking speed. Refer to Sections 6.2 and 6.4.3.3.
During shaking
Do not place the microplate holder in or remove it from the instrument while
the instrument is shaking. This may damage the shaking mechanism.
