Checking delivery for completeness or damage
Check the enclosed packing list against order. Visually inspect the transport package, the instrument,
and the accessories for any possible transport damage. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact
your local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative or Thermo Fisher Scientific Oy.
Caution!
If the instrument has been mechanically damaged, ship it for service.
Environmental requirements
When you set up your Multiskan FC, avoid sites of operation with excess dust, vibrations, strong
magnetic fields, direct sunlight, draft, excessive moisture, or large temperature fluctuations. Make
sure:
the working area is flat, dry, clean, and vibration-proof, and leave additional room for cables,
covers, and so on
there is sufficiently room behind the instrument to enable disconnecting the device
there is enough clearance in front of the instrument for the plate carrier to come out freely
the ambient air is clean and free of corrosive vapors, smoke, and dust
the ambient temperature range is b10°C (50°F) and +40°C (104°F)
the humidity is low so that condensing does not occur (relative humidity is between 10% and
80%, non-condensing).
Caution!
Do not operate the instrument in an environment where potentially damaging liquids
or gases are present.
Setups
Releasing the transport lock
Caution!
Make sure the transport lock has been released before you put the instrument into
operation.
