Switching on

Check that all the cables are properly fitted according to the installation instructions. Switch the
instrument ON.

Caution!

1) Do not

switch the power off during “Performing self diagnostics”. 2) Do not

plug/unplug the printer cable during Importing/Exporting data from/to the USB memory device.
3) Do not plug/unplug the USB memory

device during “Printing” or “Performing self diagnostics”.

Performing the operational check

Before you take the instrument into use, make time to perform the following operational check:

1. Switch the instrument ON.

Check that the plate carrier comes out from the instrument and the “

Self diagnostics

passed

” text is shown for a while on the display.

3. Press the

START

button twice.

4. Check that the plate carrier moves in and the measurement chamber door closes

properly.

The instrument starts the measurement. After the measurement the plate carrier comes
out. No error messages should appear on the display.

5. Press the

key to close the result table.

6. Press the

Left

arrow key twice to return to the

Main

menu.

Settings after installation

If you want to change the language or add additional filters to the filter wheel, modify the required
settings in the

Settings

menu. Refer to the instructions in “Settings menu”.

Installation of SkanIt Software for Microplate Readers

For installing SkanIt Software for Multiskan FC, refer to the
