Biotek 405 LS - Change the Washer Manifold Setting (Keypad); Change the Plate Carrier Setting (Keypad)

Washer Settings | 107
BioTek recommends keeping the detection systems activated. Exceptions:
l Deactivate the Waste sensor when using BioTek's Direct Drain Waste System.
l When vacuum filtration assays need to be performed at very low vacuum levels, e.g. no
plug, but the washer displays an error, deactivate the sensor: LHC - "Filter Vacuum" or
Keypad - "Vac Fil".
l When running the system using air instead of fluid to dry out the components before
shipping or long-term storage, if error messages interrupt the procedure, deactivate the
fluid and flow sensors.
CW+ Control
This setting is applicable only to cell wash assays that use dispense flow rates 1
CW and 2 CW. Generally, the optimal instrument configuration for cell wash assays
includes installation of the CW+ Dispense Manifold and enabling this control with the
default 100 msec setting. If the CW+ Dispense manifold is not installed, better
performance may be achieved by disabling this setting. Additionally, a minor
adjustment to the duration setting may improve the performance of certain
instruments.
Service Functions
Position the wash manifold to install the shipping bracket: prior to packing up the
instrument, click the link and install the manifold shipping bracket.
Change the Washer Manifold Setting (Keypad)
The instrument's onboard settings must match the installed hardware.
If you have multiple wash manifolds, in addition to physically changing the
manifold (Remove/Change Wash Manifold on page 145), you must also change the
instrument manifold setting:
1. Press Setup Menu (button in center of keypad).
2.
Select g and then MANIF.
3. Select the currently installed wash manifold by pressing its Soft-key: Single or
Dual 96-tubeor 192-tube manifold.
Change the Plate Carrier Setting (Keypad)
The instrument's onboard settings must match the installed hardware.
When you physically change the plate carrier to perform special assays, you must
also change the instrument carrier setting to direct the devices to higher or lower
positions to accurately address the wells:
