Power Loss During Operation - Caliper Life Sciences Twister II User Manual

Power Loss During Operation

If you routinely operate the system overnight or with valuable
samples, Caliper recommends using a 900-watt (or greater)
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to provide a back-up power
source for the robot, the external instrument(s), and the computer.
If the Twister II robot is turned off or loses power during operation,
the robot grip loses tension and the arm may drop. Make sure to
hold the arm before disconnecting the power.
The Twister II arm may drop and the grips may open when the
Twister II loses power, which may result in spilled liquids if the robot
is holding a filled plate. You should remove any materials from the
grip and hold the Twister II arm if you turn off the power while the
Twister II is holding a plate.
