Chapter 1: Setting Up the Instrument

2. Use the provided 3.0 mm Holex HEXAGON ballhead bolt driver to loosen the screw
located inside the Transport Lock opening until you feel the spring release.
Note: The screw remains inside the instrument. The screw is spring mounted and
cannot get lost within the instrument. It could take ten full turns to loosen the
screw until you feel the spring release. This unlocks the transport slide. If the
instrument makes a grinding noise when you start a plate read, you have not
released the transport slide.
3. Replace the black cover in travel lock opening. This cover prevents high dark counts for
Luminescence reads.
4. On the front of the instrument, gently pull the yellow tab protruding from the plate
chamber door to open the door. You must hold the plate drawer door open while you
remove the transport lock.
Note: Be careful not to tear the yellow tab. It must remain attached to the
transport lock to make it easier to open the plate chamber door.
5. Use the provided 2.0mm hex key to loosen screw #1 in the upper-left corner of the
transport lock until the lock disconnects from the instrument frame. The screw has a
retaining washer that prevents it from being removed from the lock.
Tip: After you loosen screw #1, pull the plate drawer slightly out of the instrument
to hold the chamber door open.
