connect to a BioStack or similar robotic device. But you cannot use both ports
simultaneously, i.e. make sure only one cable is plugged in at a time.
Connect to Power
Warning! Power Rating. The 405 LS must be connected to a power receptacle that
provides voltage and current within the specified rating for the system. Use of an
incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a two-prong plug adapter to connect
primary power to the 405 LS. Use of a two-prong adapter disconnects the utility ground,
creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the system power cord directly to a
three-prong receptacle with a functional ground.
The 405 LS supports voltage in the range of 100-240 V~ at 50-60 Hz.
1. Plug the power cable into the power cable socket in the rear panel of the 405
LS.
2. Insert the three-prong plug into an appropriate receptacle.
Define Instrument Settings
LHC Users Only
When using the LHC to control the 405 LS, an important first step is
defining your instrument’s settings. After installing the LHC, you can use the
desktop icon or the Windows Start button to launch the LHC:
> All Programs> BioTek> Liquid Handling Control
1. Click the Name link on the main page and, if required, select the 405 LS.
2. Specify the COM Port used to connect the 405 LS to the computer (use the
drop-down list to select the port) and click Test Communication.
o
Pass: proceed to the next step.
o
Fail: check the Com Port setting. See “About Com Ports” in the LHC Help.
3. In the Target Instrument Settings dialog that opens, click Get actual settings now,
and click OK.
