11.5.3 Always leave clearance for air flow between the X-Cite
®
and walls or other
equipment. Do not remove the rubber feet on the X-Cite
®
unit or otherwise
reduce/block the space between the bottom of the unit and bench top. This may
compromise airflow through the unit.
11.5.4 Ensure that the air being used to ventilate the X-Cite
® unit is approximately “room
temperature” (e.g. do not place the X-Cite ®
unit on top of another heat-producing
instrument).
11.5.5 If a heated environmental chamber is being used for live cell imaging, make sure
that the X-Cite
®
unit and the light guide are located outside of the chamber.
11.5.6 Periodically check the air filter at the air intake vent for debris. Replace or clean
as necessary
What happens if filters are not clean?
11.5.7 A complete filter blockage or airflow obstruction generally results in an automatic
lamp shutoff within 10-15 minutes of the unit being powered on due to lack of
adequate cooling.
11.5.8 A partially clogged filter may allow enough airflow for continued operation, but not
for optimal cooling. In this case, the result is usually dramatically reduced lamp
life, e.g. 400 hours instead of 2500+ hours.
