main Echo Liquid Handler power on/ off switch, AC power outlet, and fuse compartment. For more information, see AC
Power And Fuse Compartment.
l Coupling fluid bottle and caddy: The 1000 mL coupling fluid bottle provides the coupling fluid (Type 1 Ultrapure Water) that
is pumped through the acoustic transducer to maintain constant temperature and transfer acoustic energy to the well. The
coupling fluid bottle caddy contains a sensor that monitors the fluid level and issues a warning when the fluid level is less
than 250 mL. For more information, see Coupling Fluid Bottle.
l Status light indicators, LCD screen, and Emergency Motion Off (EMO): Same as the components on the front panel.
Remote EMO cable enables the customer to set up a remote EMO button more accessible to the operator.
