Before connecting the instrument's USB communication cable the software must be
installed! Please follow the instructions in the software manual
3.3 Power and Communication Connections
• Power Connection
First check that the power switch on the back of the instrument is in the ‘Off’ position. Inspect the voltage
information on the label next to the power switch to ensure that it corresponds to the local main power
specifications. Also make sure the power cable is grounded. Hereafter, the power cable can be connected to
the instrument.
• USB Communication Connection
Connect the USB cable to the FLUOstar Omega (or POLARstar Omega or SPECTROstar or LUMIstar
Omega) and to the USB port on the PC. Please connect the reader directly to your PC and do not use a
USB-hub.
Only connect a computer that corresponds to EN 60950 and UL 1950 for data processing
instruments.
You can perform a connection check within the setup menu of the Omega software (go to ‘Settings |
Connection’ and click ‘Connection check’).
If the instrument and PC are communicating, a ‘Connection OK’ message will appear.
