Pins/Locks and Power Supply
Now that you have unpacked the unit and accessories and verified all parts are
present, it is time to set up the EVOS
®
FL Imaging System. Follow all steps prior to
powering on for the first time.
Stage Lock Pin
Note: Before using the mechanical stage for the first time, you must
remove the stage lock pin from the back right-hand corner of the stage
plate.
Pull firmly to remove this pin, making sure to store the stage pin for future use.
Always re-secure the mechanical stage with the stage pin before
moving/transporting the instrument.
Light Cubes
Note: Before using the mechanical stage for the first time, you must
remove the stage lock pin from the back right-hand corner of the stage
plate. For information about adding optional LED light cubes, see
“Changing LED Light Cubes” (page 37).
1. Move the stage back to allow access to the light cube lock, which is centered
under the back of the stage.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew to remove the light cube lock, making sure to store
the light cube lock for future use. Always re-secure the light cube lock before
moving/transporting the instrument.
3. Place the light cube access cover into the opening and tighten thumbscrew.
IMPORTANT! Before changing light channels, ALWAYS verify the light
cube lock has been removed. Applying force to the light cube selection
lever while the lock is in place may seriously damage the mechanism. This
type of damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Power Supply
IMPORTANT! Always use the correct power supply. The power adapter
specifications appear on the serial number label (front of LCD hinge) and
in “Specifications” (page 10). Damage due to an incompatible power
adapter is not covered by warranty.
1. Verify the power switch is in the “O” (OFF) position before connecting the
power adapter.
2.
Connect the power adapter to the power jack on the right side of the
instrument base, attach the cord to the adapter, and plug the cord into an
outlet.
