11.1.2 Removing and/or Installing a Filter
A filter should be replaced if it is cracked or cloudy. If the application for which the system is
used is changed, it may be necessary to replace one or more filters (depending on the
chemistry of the assay).
To Replace a Filter:
1 Remove the Reader Module from the system by rotating the two Allen screws
counter clockwise ¼ turn and pulling the module from the system.
2 Remove the Filter Access Panel on the rear of the Reader Module to expose the
optical assembly. The filters are mounted on the filter wheel as shown in
Figure 11-2.
