General Information
This section provides detailed installation and setup
instructions for the Tissue-Tek
®
Film
®
Automated
Coverslipper. The installation steps must be followed
correctly to ensure proper operation and service. Read
this operating manual carefully before attempting to
operate the instrument. Follow all instructions carefully.
The Tissue-Tek Film Coverslipper is a precision
instrument and must be handled accordingly. Rough
handling or dropping the instrument will disturb or damage
internal components. Always handle the instrument with
care.
Select a place where sufficient clearance can be
provided around the instrument. Ample working space is
necessary in front and on top of the instrument.
Environmental Factors
As with all sensitive electronic instruments, prolonged
exposure to excessive humidity and temperature should
be avoided. Temperature and humidity should be held
relatively constant. The ambient temperature for operating
the instrument is 10º C to 40º C (50º F to 104º F). The
ambient operating humidity range is 30-85% relative
humidity.
