4.3 Operation

1. Turn the instrument on using the on/off switch on the right front side of the instrument.
2. Start the software. A connection is established between the instrument and the PC.
3. Create a method or load an existing method. This procedure is described in detail in the
operating manual for the Liquid Handling Station operating software.
4. Open the front hood and fill the Work Table with the labware needed for the method
and selected in the software.
Caution!
Load the Work Table correctly
5. Close the front door and start the program.
As delivered from the factory, the program can only be started with the front
door closed. If the front door is opened while a program is running, the ongoing
procedure is stopped after the current work step has completed. After the front
door is closed again, the program restarts from the point of interruption.
Caution!
Danger of crushing
Only reach into the working area when the machinery is at a standstill!

Be sure that the labware is placed onto the Work Table as specified in the
software or the method.
To compensate for height differences, it is absolutely essential to use the adap-
ters recommended by the software.
Otherwise the Liquid End could strike the labware and incur damage.
Use the height adapter only in the orientation provided. Do not use excessive
force.
