WARNING
If the Bravo Platform is integrated with other devices in a system, Agilent
Technologies recommends that you install a main emergency stop button to cut power to
all devices simultaneously. In addition, all operators must be instructed in the emergency
stop procedure.
CAUTION
If the red button on the pendant is pressed while the pipette head is aspirating
or dispensing, the pipetting accuracy might be impaired. Do not use the pendant to pause and
continue a run.
To stop in an emergency:
Press the red button on the robot- disable pendant. The power is cut from the
motors, causing all motion to stop.
