3.3.7 Finetech Module Interface

All current and future Finetech® modules will communicate via a common interface

bus.

For this connect all Finetech® boxes in a chain as shown in the picture above. Begin

with the Placer Control Box and connect all further module boxes with the delivered

interface cables (Western Plug) in any order. Please note that the last box in the

chain must be terminated by the terminal resistor plug.

3.4 Operating Instructions For The Placer Control Box

3.4.1 Switching on

Press the POWER switch to activate the Placer Control Box, together with all

connected modules. After each push, the POWER switch is disabled for three

seconds to avoid unintentional actuation.

Please be aware that the Placer Control Box cannot be switched off as long

as a component is in either the pivot arm or the pipette. This "component

recognized" status may also exist if any object inhibits free air flow to the

arm vacuum tube or to the pipette.
