1) Open the lid of the reagent box of the FLUOstar/POLARstar Omega. Take the body of the TRF-optic head
in the left hand, the light guides in your right hand and feed them through underneath the already installed
excitation light guides. The light guides should be carefully placed outside of the instrument to prevent them
from scratching the inside of the reagent box. (Figure 20).

2) Hold the Advanced TRF-optic head vertically inside the instrument. Turn it 45 degrees and position it so
that the lens is perpendicular towards the open hole of the measurement position. Carefully lower the TRF
optic head and feed the head through the two rising bars pointing upwards from the bottom. Now the head
should rest smoothly on the bottom of the reagent box.

head 45 degrees
3) Turn the lower right Quick-fix clockwise until it touches the base of the TRF optic head. Hold the optic
head with your left hand while lifting up the Quick-fix with your right hand approx. 7 mm and turn further
clockwise until the lever touches the wall. Release the Quick-fix and it will snap-on and hold the optic head in
position. Repeat this procedure for the upper left Quick-fix (Fig. 22).
