Hardware Mode

The hardware mode chosen for each run depends on the purification protocol being used. Please refer to the
Technical Bulletin or Manual for the various Maxwell
setting required.
The existing hardware mode (SEV or LEV) setting is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the Home screen.
The instrument displays the hardware mode entered but does not sense the hardware installed. Always verify that
the hardware installed matches what is displayed on the Home screen. Make sure that the hardware and hard-
ware mode are appropriate for the purification kit being used. If the installed hardware is not correct for the kit
being used, remove the installed magnetic rod assembly and replace it with the appropriate magnetic rod assembly
(see Section 7.A).
If the installed hardware does not match the hardware mode displayed, turn the machine off, and install the
appropriate hardware with the machine turned off. When the machine is powered up after the installation, the
installed hardware will match the hardware mode displayed on the Home screen.
