Chapter 4 Instrument Setup
1. Preparation Before Use
An experienced laboratory technician, with the requisite knowledge and background,
should be the one to unpack and install the instrument. The technician should
thoroughly examine all items that arrive with the instrument and compare them to the
Packing List. Should there be any doubts or questions about the instrument or its
accompanying accessories, such should be recorded and Accuris Instruments or the
relevant distributor should be contacted.
Before beginning any pipetting process, the following checklist should be completed:
• Confirm that the tablet controller is connected to the instrument.
• Ensure that there are no obstructions to the moving platform and that it moves
freely to both the right and left.
• Verify that the power supply connected to the instrument is steady and meets
the power supply requirements: Voltage: 100~240V (±10%); Frequency:
50Hz/60Hz.
• Turn on the main power switch, as depicted in Figure 5, to the "I" position.
Confirm that the instrument is powered on and that the Operational Indicator
Light is lit.
