Routine Operation
This section on Do's and Don'ts summarizes all the relevant procedures
on what to do and what not to do.
Do
In case of any emergencies occurring during operation, switch
●
OFF and unplug the instrument immediately. Carry out
corrective measures. If the corrective measures taken do not
help, contact authorized technical service.
Carry out the operational check prior to normal use.
●
Only when the instrument is switched off, can you push the
●
heads or turn the turntable manually.
Always use correct volumes on the plates because the
●
movements of the tip comb are conducted according to the
volumes.

Don't

Use for self-testing is excluded.
●
Do not touch or loosen any screws or parts other than those
●
specifically designated in the instructions. Doing so might cause
misalignment and will invalidate the instrument warranty.
Never open any other cover of the PLEX-ID SP than the see-
●
through lid or the sliding door (Figure 2–3) while the
instrument is plugged into a power source.
Do not use the instrument if it appears that it does not function
●
properly.
Do not under any circumstances use formaldehyde.
●
Do not spill any alkalines onto any instrument surfaces to avoid
●
damage of the instrument. If needed, use suitable protection
covering.
Before you switch on the PLEX-ID SP, ensure that the voltage on the
type label at the bottom left of the back/side panel (Figure 2–4)
corresponds to the local voltage.
Warning Never operate your instrument from a power outlet that has
no ground connection. ▲
