2 Ensure your ambient conditions support the desired target temperature
(12-20 °C above ambient). (See the temperature chart shown in Figure 10 on
page 28.)
3 Other Temperature Widget functions are:
• Turn the heater ON/OFF.
• Set the tolerance range for temperature fluctuation. If the temperature is
above or below the acceptable tolerance range from the temperature set
point, the Temperature Widget will change color, and the Status Indicator
light (top of the XFe Analyzer) will change from blue to amber. For
networked XFe Controllers, Wave Controller software automatically sends
an email notification to specified recipients.

Set alarm (temperature tolerance range)
To set the alarm:
1 Check the Alarm On check box in the Tray Temperature window.
(See Figure 11 on page 29.)
2 Click Save.
To disable the alarm, uncheck the Alarm On box, then click Save.
If the Tray Temperature exceeds the Tolerance Range and the alarm is activated,
click Reset Alarm to acknowledge and reset the Tray Temperature alarm.
To ensure the Tray Temperature starts within the Tolerance Range, check the
current temperature of the XFe Analyzer before beginning an assay. For any
suspected temperature issues or unexpected temperature fluctuations, contact
Technical Support. (See “Contact Information” on page 36.)
Changing the Target Temperature requires OVERNIGHT equilibration to the
new set point.
