5.1.3 What to Do Following a Power Outage
If a power outage occurs when the instrument is not in the “Paused” mode,
the temperature control stops and therefore the parafn will start to solidify,
while the cooling plate temperature of the Cryo Module will start to rise.
Nothing can be done when the temperature control stops.
The following explains what to do when the power is restored.
Turning off the power switch or removing the power plug is essentially the
same as a power outage.
1. When the power is restored, a message window saying, “Power outage
occurred” appears.
Touch the "
" button to close the message window.
2. Check if the parafn inside the parafn chamber and tissue tray is molten.
• Parafn is molten: You can perform work.
• Parafn is not molten: Wait for parafn to be molten.
NOTE:
To start work quickly, touch the Quick Heating button. For details,
refer to 3.2.2 Melting Paraffin Quickly.
5.1.4 What to Do When the Low Battery Alarm Icon is Indicated
The low battery alarm icon comes on when the voltage of the battery inside
the display becomes low.
The battery must be replaced within one month. Contact the Sakura
instrument distributor or representative.
The nominal service life of the battery that its manufacturer announces is 5
years.
NOTE:
If the battery runs out, the time data is lost when the power
switch is set to OFF. This will cause the day and time setting to
go wrong and the Auto operation not to work properly.
