Connecting the Tubes and Bottles
Important! If you are using the Bio-Stack Microplate Stacker
with the ELx405, do not plug the external 24-VDC power supply
that came with the Bio-Stack into the waste sensor port! See
Figure 12 for the location of this port.
For optimal operation of the ELx405 washer, all tubing, cables, and fittings for the
waste and supply systems must be properly connected.
Figure 12 on the following page illustrates the rear panel of instrument and the
locations of the ports and connections for the waste and supply systems.
Before Connecting the Tubes and Bottles
Rinse all waste and supply bottles with deionized or distilled water before
connecting them to the waste and supply tubing. This rinsing eliminates
particles that may have collected during packing or unpacking.
