Preface
Use and Function The Lumat LB 9507 is a semi-automatic luminometer for universal
use in bio- and chemiluminescence, and is very easy to operate. It
can work with up to 2 reagent injectors, and its rotating sampling
method enables samples to be measured and loaded at the same
time.
Special Instructions
and Precautions The manufacturer has undertaken everything to ensure the safe
operation of the instrument (regarding electricity, electronics and
mechanics). The user has to make sure that the equipment is
set up and installed properly to guarantee safe operation:
• Use grounded mains.
• Do not open the instrument.
• Disconnect Lumat from the mains before cleaning.
• If the operational safety of the instrument is no longer ensured,
turn it off and disconnect it from the mains.
• If liquid gets into the instrument, disconnect it from the mains.
• Protect yourself from electrostatic charging (e.g. carpets),
since discharging may damage sensitive electronic
components
• Set up the instrument in a dry room only.
• Be careful when handling strong alkaline or acidic reagents.
Make sure you follow the reagent manufacturer’s instructions.
• If there is a leak in the reagent tubing system you must abort
the measurement series and fix the leak. If necessary, call the
manufacturer’s Technical Service. If a leak occurs there is a
risk of reagent entering the inside of the instrument.
• Only technicians authorized by Berthold should carry out
repairs or modifications on the instrument.
The Lumat LB 9507 should only be used to perform the
functions described in this manual.
The proper use and handling of the instrument requires that the
operating personnel be familiar with this manual. Please read it
carefully before taking the instrument into use - even though the
operation of Lumat may appear simple.
