15.1 Overview
The Ambient Drawer is used to store microplates when room temperature incubation in the
dark is desired. The drawer extends into the work area for pipetting and when a microplate is
to be transported from one device to another (e.g. to an incubator module). The drawer
includes four identical microplate positions.
If the ambient drawer is defective, the normal service mode is to remove the module and
replace it with a new module. The module is removed by rotating the two Allen screws
counter clockwise ¼ turn and pulling the module from the system.
Note: If you work on the ambient drawer, be certain to check the alignment of the
ambient drawer as described on page 15-7.
The ambient drawer is considered as a replaceable module. The following information will be
of assistance if it is necessary to repair the unit on site.
