Allow the reader to settle at room temperature before you turn it on.
(Gen5 control only) Start Gen5 and Test Communication
1. Start Gen5. If prompted to add a reader, click Yes. Otherwise, select System >
Instrument Configuration > Add Reader.
2. Select Epoch 2 and click OK. The reader name and serial number appear. Click on the
reader name and then click Test Communications. The message, “The reader is
communicating!” should appear.
If the communication attempt is not successful: Make sure the reader is turned on and
the USB cable is secure on both ends. Consult the Gen5 Getting Started Guide
(supplied as a PDF on the Gen5 software USB flash drive) for additional
troubleshooting information.
Repackage the Instrument (if needed)
If the reader has been exposed to potentially hazardous material,
decontaminate it to minimize the risk to all who come in contact with the
reader during shipping, handling, and servicing. Decontamination prior to
shipping is required by the U.S Department of Transportation regulations.
See the Maintenance section for instructions.
Remove any labware from the carrier and, if used cuvette, before shipment.
Spilled fluids can contaminate the optics and damage the instrument.
