INSTALLATION & SETUP
General Information
This section provides detailed installation and setup
instructions for the Tissue-Tek
®
Glas
TM
g2 Automated Glass
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 Glas g2 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 pro-
vided around the instrument. A clearance of at least 10 cm
is required for the top and left side of the instrument. To
the right of the instrument, at least 30 cm should be
provided.
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 range for
operating the instrument is 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
The ambient operating humidity range is 30-85% relative
humidity.
Locate the instrument in a well-ventilated area,
avoiding exposure to corrosive vapors and extreme
variations in temperature or humidity. The area should be
clean and dust-free and have a firm, level surface capable
of holding at least 110 kg (242.5 lbs.) of weight. Be sure it
is near a power source that meets the electrical
requirements specified on the rating label located on the
rear of this instrument. The power receptacle must be
grounded and should be a dedicated line. Avoid proximity
to direct sunlight, open windows, sinks, ovens, hot plates,
open burners, or radiators.
Unpacking
Before unpacking the Glas g2 coverslipper, please
refer to the detailed instructions in the separate document
titled: “Tissue-Tek
®
Glas™ g2 Unpacking Procedures” or
call the local Sakura sales representative for assistance.
CAUTION: The instrument is very heavy and large;
therefore, it is strongly recommended that it always
be lifted and transported by at least two people, one
positioned on each side.
