The BioCel does not require a lot of routine maintenance.
In general, practice good housekeeping by cleaning up spills and
following the clean-up procedures.
Once a month, check that the:
❑
Robot gripper pads are not torn, cracked or otherwise worn
❑
Overhead doors remain at the correct height
❑
Liquid handling tubing is not torn, cracked or discolored
❑
Air filter is clean
❑
Main air pressure reads 100–110 psi (0.62–0.69 MPa)
❑
Table top is free of debris, such as pieces of chipped plates and
microtubes
If the house air supplied to the BioCel is clean, the air filter should rarely
need to be changed.
To check the air filter for replacement:
1. Open the side door behind the air panel.
2. Look at the front of the air filter container.
If there are any oil droplets or general dirt visible on the filter, the
filter should be changed. Contact the Velocity11 Technical Support
for instructions.
For information about routine maintenance of the individual devices,
see the relevant device documentation.
The interior of the BioCel has standard type fluorescent tube lights that
occasionally need to be replaced. We recommend that two people work
together to replace a light.
To replace a fluorescent tube light:
1. If your BioCel has a light switch, turn off the lights.
2. At the light itself, unplug the power cord that goes to the light.
3. Remove the screws securing the light cover.
4. With one person working at each end of the light, remove the light
cover by sliding the cover up and pulling out at the bottom.
5. Remove the lamp.
6. Install a new, identical lamp.
7. Replace the cover.
