Operational Precautions and Limitations
Overview
Section 7
• Do not place reagent containers above the Analyzer.
• The following space should be available to ensure proper ventilation:
– Bench top space: approximately 6 linear feet to accommodate the
instrument, display station, and printer
– Below the instrument: sufficient space for reagents and waste container
(if one is used)
– Behind the instrument: 6 inches of space for proper ventilation
– Above the instrument: 6 inches of space for proper ventilation
– Left side of instrument: 12 inches of space in front of the fan for proper
ventilation
• Allow adequate space around the instrument to perform necessary
maintenance procedures, to provide service access, and to allow the
instrument to be easily disconnected from its power source.
• Care should be taken to prevent blocking of the air vents or fans on the sides
and the back of the instrument.
• Before operating the instrument for the first time, verify that each reagent line
is connected to the appropriate inlet and reagent container. Refer to
Section 2: Installation Procedures and Special Requirements.
• Make sure the waste line is connected to the appropriate outlet and routed to
a suitable waste container or drain. If the waste is routed to a waste container,
make sure the waste sensor is properly connected. If the waste is routed to a
drain, make sure a Dummy Plug is inserted in the Waste Sensor Connector.
• The printer and Display Station can be placed on top of the instrument.
