Open the door
Note: An emergency maintenance access method can be used to open the door should this be
required e.g. in the case of power loss – (See "Open the door without power"
When the unlock button is pressed, the safety circuit is disabled to prevent the pump or centrifuge from
operating and triggers the following:
• Pinch valves retract
• Pump clamp is released
• Door is unlocked and partially opens
Note: If there is a Single-Use Kit installed on the instrument, unlocking the door will release the valves
that are clamping the tubes of the kit closed. Any fluids in bags or vessels attached to the kit will be free
to flow. Close all manual tube clamps before opening the door.
