This topic describes how to mount the pipette head when you first set up the
Bravo Platform. The procedure is for the current Bravo pipette heads,
including the fixed- tip pipette heads, disposable- tip pipette heads (Series III),
pin tools, and the like.
Note: If you want to install a Series II pipette head on a Bravo Platform that
has a gripper, you must ensure that the gripper is lowered from the docked
position before attempting to install the pipette head.
Each Bravo pipette head contains a dovetail interface that attaches to the
dovetail connector on the Bravo head mount. Two head- retainer pins and a
head lock secure the pipette head to the Bravo Platform.
Before mounting a pipette head, familiarize yourself with the features of the
dovetail interface on the pipette head top and the connector underneath the
head mount. See the following figures.
