Setting Up the 405 LS
Important: Avoid excessive humidity. Condensation directly on the sensitive
electronic circuits can cause the instrument to fail internal self checks.
Install the instrument on a level, stable surface in an area where ambient
temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F) can be maintained.
The instrument should be operated in a non-condensing humid environment
having a maximum relative humidity of 80% at temperatures up to 31°C
decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
Install the Microplate Carrier
n Make sure the serial number on the underside of the plate carrier matches the
washer's serial number. If the numbers do not match, call BioTek
TACimmediately.
1. Line up the tab on the underside of the carrier with the slot on the carrier
transport block.
2. Put the two carrier rail guides onto the transport rail. The tab should sit in the
slot.
Connect the Vacuum Pump, Tubes, and Bottles
For optimal operation of the 405 LS, all tubing, cables, and fittings for the fluid
supply and waste systems must be properly connected. This image illustrates
