2.3 General Operation
Once initialized, the QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument enters standby mode and maintains the CCD camera at its set temperature. The
instrument is ready to read plates at any time. The QuickPlex SQ 120 is designed to run indefinitely in standby mode.
WARNING: The instrument must be operated with all covers in place. If the unit is operated in any manner not specified in
this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: Additional USB devices should not be connected to the QuickPlex SQ 120’s computer system or used while plates
are being read.
CAUTION: Changes to the computer clock can cause a system error if the changes are made during a plate read. A system
error may also occur if a plate is being read when the time is automatically changed from standard to daylight savings time or vice
versa.
NOTE: The QuickPlex SQ 120 should be operated in a dust-free environment with an ambient temperature between 20 °C and
26 °C, and humidity levels between 10 % and 80 % (non-condensing). Environments or locations with high levels of vibration
should be avoided. See
6.2 Specifications for complete environmental specifications.
CAUTION: Keep the QuickPlex SQ 120 away from direct sources of heat or cold and direct sunlight. Ensure that the rear
cooling vents and the CCD camera tower cooling vents on the QuickPlex SQ 120 are not blocked.
CAUTION: Do not place any objects, materials, or liquid containers on top of the QuickPlex SQ 120.
CAUTION: Falling objects or splashing liquids, including chemically reactive or infectious reagents, can cause damage to
the instrumentation or cause injuries. Avoid handling or storing infectious or radioactive materials near the QuickPlex SQ 120.
