4.7 PHERAstar FS - Stacker Connection
On the back of the PHERAstar FS there are 2 connectors, one for the PC and one for the Stacker.
The respective cables are provided with the instruments. The USB cable will connect only the PC to the
PHERAstar FS ('Connection to PC') whereas the male-to-female RS232 cable (included with the Stacker)
will connect only the PHERAstar FS to the Stacker.
If a Stacker is connected with a cable, it will automatically be detected by the PHERAstar FS and this
independently of the Stacker being turned on or off.
The PHERAstar FS can be operated as a stand-alone plate reader also when connected to a Stacker,
because the plate carrier can be reached through the opening of the Stacker.
Whenever the reader is connected to a Stacker (figure 30) both instruments must be turned on. If you want
to use the reader with single plates, simply remove the magazines and the plate carrier of the reader can be
accessed and used by pressing Plate in/ Plate out button or by using the control software.
