ScanDrop Installation and commissioning Installation and commissioning Site requirements The following requirements are placed on the climatic conditions in the operating room Installation conditions of the ScanDrop Temperature range: +5 °C to +35 °C Max. humidity: 80 % at 30 °C The operating room should have the characteristics of a biological-chemical laboratory.
Page 20
Installation and commissioning ScanDrop Installing ScanDrop ATTENTION Before connecting the ScanDrop and the PC to the mains verify that the operating volt- age specified on the type plates of the devices matches the mains voltage. Operation with a voltage other than the specified operating voltage can destroy the devices. 1.

ScanDrop Installation and commissioning Switching off the ScanDrop CAUTION There is a slight risk of crushing when manually or automatically closing either of the two cell compartments! The sensor system of the ScanDrop notices if fingers or other objects are in the infeed area of the large cell compartment on the front.

ScanDrop Installation and commissioning remains open during the measurement. After the measurement, manually close the cover. The cover of the measuring compartment for standard cells cannot be opened until after the ScanDrop has been initialized. The cover is locked, if a different cell or a different cell adapter was selected in the measuring parameters.

Installation and commissioning ScanDrop When the magnet carriage is moved into the interior of the device, the wings of the But- terfly Cuvette are folded upwards by the two ramps in the cell compartment (see the ar- rows). Owing to the high surface tension of the solvent (water) there is no risk of the drop-shaped samples running into one another.
