Setting up
Before starting the installation, it is recommended to read through this chapter to get
an overview of the installation process.
First, place the analyzer on a secure table top that provides plenty of working space
and is close to a power connection.
WARNING
Risk of instrument damage or wrong results due to ESD discharge
Considerable electrostatic discharge can be emitted from contacting the metallic
components of the analyzer.
r Do not remove any cover of the analyzer except those covers specified in the
instructions.
r If it is probable that you will come into contact with metallic components of the
analyzer, touch the discharge point of the analyzer (see Analyzer components (p. 69))
before performing any action on the analyzer.
WARNING
Use of non-approved consumables
Use of consumables that were not produced by Roche, including but not limited to
electrodes, calibration and cleaning solutions, QC-material and related accessories, may
result in incorrect results.
r Only use approved consumables when working with the analyzer. For the full list of
approved consumables, see Available accessories and consumables (p. 176).
Open the analyzer main door. Find and carefully remove the five red relief clamps.
Save these clamps for reuse to prevent damaging the tubes in the event the analyzer is
later shut down for any reason (see Shutdown (p. 92).
