FlowCam® 8000 Series Dynamic Imaging Particle Analyzer
Welcome
This guide explains how to set up, operate and maintain your FlowCam® 8000 Series Dynamic Imaging
Particle Analyzer. It also covers basic features of the VisualSpreadsheet® software application that will
assist you with the initial setup and operation of the analyzer.
Package Contents
Your shipping container includes the following items:
• FlowCam analyzer with power cord
• Monitor with power cord and connectors
• Wireless desktop (keyboard and mouse)
• Accessory case with flow cells, syringe assembly and objectives
• Autofocus beads
• Pipette tips
• Nitex mesh
• Cleaning kit
• Tubing
• Connectors (dependent upon system configuration)
• Funnel (dependent upon system configuration)
Ensure that there is no damage to the packing materials or equipment inside. If anything has been
damaged or is missing, contact Fluid Imaging Technologies or your local distribution representative
immediately. Be sure to save the white shipping container that your FlowCam analyzer came in.
Note: Use two people when lifting the analyzer. Depending upon its configuration, it could weigh in
excess of 50 pounds.
Choosing a Location
• Locate your FlowCam analyzer in a well-ventilated area that is free of vibration and dramatic
shifts in temperature.
• Place the analyzer on a clean, level, sturdy base capable of holding up to 100 pounds. Be sure to
allow space for the monitor, keyboard and mouse.
• For power, you will need two outlets, one for the analyzer and one for the monitor. We
recommend using a stable power supply with surge protection and battery backup.
Computer Peripherals
Unpack the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and their accompanying cables and power cord. These
peripheral components connect to the back of the FlowCam analyzer, which contains the
VisualSpreadsheet software program. Place the monitor, keyboard and mouse next to the FlowCam
analyzer close enough to connect them.
