Labcyte Echo 520 User Manual page 47

Rear clearance: 30.5 (12 in) minimum behind the instrument to
allow for cables, hoses, tubing, and maintenance access
Note: The coupling fluid bottle and caddy fit within the rear
clearance. If you position the bottle and caddy on the side of the
instrument, add at least 17.8 cm (7 in) to the side clearance.
The caddy must be placed within 16" of tubing run to the Echo.
Additional space for the client PC, coupling fluid chiller (if it is on the
bench), and microplates. Additional space would also be needed if
you use robotics.
 AC power: The user must provide AC power matching one of the
two following power configurations:
115 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 A

230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 5 A

Note: The power configuration is factory set and cannot be changed
onsite.
 Compressed air source: Clean, dry air at 552 kPa (80 PSI) minimum,
1034 kPa (150 PSI) maximum. Consumption not to exceed 1cf/m @
150 PSI.
Labcyte provides the compressed air line and fitting with the Echo
liquid handler, but the customer must provide a source compatible
with 170 in ID/.250 in OD tubing.
 Vacuum source: Vacuum returns the coupling fluid to the supply
bottle and dries source plates before they are unloaded. Customer
must provide a fitting that connects 3/8"ID, 5/8"OD tubing to either
house vacuum or vacuum pump. Vacuum source should have the
following specifications:
House vacuum:
Minimum vacuum at Echo connection: 200 Torr (266 mbar, 22 in Hg Vac)
Vacuum system capacity steady state: 15 L/min (0.9 m
Drying surge: 80 L/min for 10 sec, (4.8 m
33% max duty cycle.
Vacuum pump:
Minimum vacuum at Echo connection: 100 Torr (133 mbar, 26 in Hg Vac)
Pump flow rate: with 10 L surge tank: 40 L/min (2.4 m
without surge tank (not recommended): 80 L/min (4.8 m
Note: The 10 L surge tank comes standard with the Echo liquid
handler to ensure consistent vacuum.
