3.2 Connecting the reagents
The ‘ELite 5’ is capable to aspirate reagents from 1.2m (~4’). (Measured from the bottom of
the reagent container to the table level where the ‘ELite 5’ is installed.)
You will use 3 input reagents and the 2 waste-output. Select a location close to a suitable
drain. The waste container should be periodically emptied.
You can place the reagent below or on the same level where the ‘ELite 5’ is installed. Do not
place the reagents to a higher location than the bottom of the ‘ELite 5’, because in case of
any tubing problem, valve error etc. the reagent can spill out.
3.3 Power connection
The analyzer should only be operated from a wall out
let meeting general
specifications of power input requirements: 100-127VAC/200-240VAC; 47Hz
to 63Hz
Power Consumption: maximum 400 VA
If the power network is not reliable, contact your representative for options
(e.g. installation of an external UPS module).
Only the power cord supplied with the instrument should be used. Avoid
using extension cords.
Please check the power consumption of the additional devices (printer) as well.
3.4 Connections to the peripherals
If you plan to connect any external devices (printer, host-computer etc.) to ‘ELite 5’ then prior
the installation please check the possible cable paths. If it is necessary then make all the
preparations (cable-channels, cable-binders, drilling trough tables, walls etc.) before the
installation starts.
Although the Windows
®
XP
®
Embedded operating system can recognize several peripheral
devices please prepare the installation material provided by the vendor of the device.
3.5 Environmental conditions
The ‘
ELite
5’ is designed for laboratory operation.
Mobile operation is not
supported. Operate ‘ELite 5’ at the ambient temperature within the range of
15-30
°
C (59-98
°
F) and maximum relative humidity of 80%. The optimum
operating temperature is 25
°
C. Reagents should be stored at a temperature
range of 15-30
°
C. The ‘ELite 5’ operates properly up to 3000 meters above
sea-level.
Do not place the reagent containers to a higher position than ‘ELite 5’. This
is to avoid unintentional spilling of reagents. The vertical distance between
the reagent container and ‘ELite 5’ must not be more than 120 centimeter.
The instrument should be placed in a well-ventilated location. The instrument should not be
placed near potentially interfering devices capable of emitting radio frequencies (e.g. radio or
television transmitters/receivers, radars, centrifuge, X-ray devices, fans, etc.).
