1. INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION OF
THE BIOSCREEN C SYSTEM
It is very important to read these instructions carefully and to follow them in the presented order
(from 1 to 11). Wrong order might cause problems with the installation or the use of the Bioscreen C
system.
1. Check the parcel for visual damage
If there is damage on the parcel (holes, dents etc.), make a notification to the air waybill BEFORE accepting
the shipment. This will help with the insurance claim in case the content is damaged. Unless this notification
has been made, there is no possibility to claim insurance for a faulty Bioscreen C instrument!
2. Open the parcel, check for visual damage
One indication of possible damage is that the green measurement lid has jumped off from its place. This
indicates that the parcel has had some rough treatment on the way but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the
Bioscreen C is damaged.
3. Check the content of the package
The list of contents (Packing list) is placed on top of the instrument. Save the carton and the foam corners for
possible transportation or service of the Bioscreen C in the future.
4. Check the lamp (A & D in Figure 2)
Check that the lamp is intact and properly in its place.
5. Install the filter wheel
The filter wheel is in its own black container inside the Supplement pack. Avoid touching the filter lenses.
Fingerprints on the lenses diminish the amount of light passing through to the detector.
Install the wheel with the serial number on the wheel pointing towards the front of the Bioscreen C instrument.
The connection is magnetic, it will automatically pull the wheel into the right position (A in Figure 2).
6. Open the sample area cover (B & C in Figure 2)
Take the notification leaflet out from the sample area and make sure that all Bioscreen C users are informed
about the risk of a damaged detector lens with an improperly placed incubator cover.
Check that the incubator cover is placed properly on its hinges and that the cover is locked in its place. White
arrows on the incubator cover point to the hinges (see the notification leaflet for more information).
7. Install the driver for the USB-adapter
The USB-adapter and the CD are found in Accessory pack. Install the driver from the CD BEFORE
connecting the USB-adapter to the PC.
8. Connect the cables to the Bioscreen C and to the PC
Before turning the Bioscreen C on ALWAYS remember to check that the incubator cover is in its
right position. Improper placing of the cover can cause serious damage to the instrument which
is NOT covered by warranty!
Always close the lids before starting an experiment, as placing fingers etc. inside a running
instrument can cause serous physical injury.
