7.3.4.1 Immediate Shut-Down
The immediate shut-down can be initiated by pressing the standby button near the top of the back panel of the
‘Abacus 5’ analyzer. This is the same button which is used to start up the ‘Abacus 5’ user interface computer. This
shuts down the user interface computer without properly shutting down the pneumatic system components.
Possible side-effects:
 The pneumatic components may be left in an undefined state. The next startup and pneumatic initialization
may take longer with increased reagent consumption.
 The last settings changes and measurement results are not saved.
Immediate shut down should be avoided as a routine procedure. It should only be used if loss of electrical power is
imminent such as thunderstorms or if loss of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) backup power is imminent.
7.3.4.2 Immediate Switch Off
In case of immediate danger you can power off the ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer by turning off laboratory power, or by turning
off the main power switch (small switch) on the rear panel of the ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer located near the power
connection to the ‘down’ position labeled ‘0’or unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet.
7.3.5 Repackaging the ‘Abacus 5’ Analyzer
Before repackaging your ‘Abacus 5’ analyzer for transportation or storage,
always do the following:
 Perform a ‘Prepare for shipment’ procedure.
 Fully power down the analyzer.
 Disconnect all reagent tubes, power cords and peripheral
connections.
 Always use the original packaging materials to repackage the
‘Abacus 5’ analyzer.
Prepare the following packaging materials were included in your original
shipment:
 Mini-pallet
 Upper and lower packaging foams
 Upper and lower carton box
 Plastic bag
Place the pallet on the ground. Place the lower part of the carton box on the
pallet, and place the lower packaging foam on the carton bottom.
Put the ‘Abacus 5’ into the plastic bag, and place it into the bottom foam
part. Place the top packaging foam on the analyzer, and put the top carton
cover box over the package. Align the lower carton box flaps so that they fit
beneath the upper box edges.
Use shipping straps to gently but firmly hold the entire package together.
