DSX™ System Service Manual 2-1
Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Overview
The DYNEX Technologies DSX™ Automated ELISA System is normally installed and set up
by a DYNEX Technologies representative or a representative of the organization that is
supplying the reagent kits. Typically, the manufacturer of the reagent kits provides the
required assays for the desired kits, so that they are loaded with the application software.
2.2 Receipt of the System
The DSX™ Automated ELISA System is normally shipped in a single crate and the PC that is
to be used with the system is shipped in cartons (normally 3). Upon arrival of the system, the
customer should inspect the shipment and ensure that all components have arrived in good
shape. If damage is observed, either upon arrival of the system or upon unpacking, the
customer should immediately make a written claim to the transport company and the
organization that shipped the unit.
A packing list of all components shipped with the system is provided. If any items are missing
upon unpacking, the customer should immediately make a written claim to the transport
company and the organization that shipped the unit.
2.3 Power Requirement
The system requires 800 VA and should be installed on a common power line along with the
personal computer and printer. It is recommended that a dedicated power line be used for the
system. We recommend that the DSX and computer system be plugged into an
Uninterruptible Power Supply of 1000VA/800W output power capacity and 120V nominal
output voltage and 10-30 minutes backup time.
2.4 Locating the System in the Laboratory
The system should be installed on a lab bench that is capable of supporting 135 kg (300lb.).
When the system is installed on the bench, at least 4 people should be used to position it.
Make sure that the system is away from air conditioning vents, heat vents, windows and any
other device that can lead to significant temperature change. If organic solvents are used,
make sure that there are no open flames or devices that can create sparks in the laboratory.
Connect the RS232 Cable to the bottom communication port on the DSX™ Automated ELISA
System (lower rear of the right panel) and to a Communications port on the personal
computer. Connect the personal computer and the system to the mains.
