3.4.12. Reminders (only in Picus® NxT)
Picus® NxT has built in reminders for Maintenance, Calibration, and Pipette
checking. The reminders help the user to remember important service dates.
Having the pipettes maintained and calibrated at regular intervals is an
important factor in ensuring the quality and accuracy of results.
Reminders can be set to time and/or cycle intervals. For example, a calibration
reminder can be set for six months or 5 000 pipetting cycles, whichever comes
first. When the criteria is reached, the pipette notifies the user with a message
and sound.
With time-based reminders for maintenance and calibration, the pipette also
alerts the user 14 days before the set date.
To set a reminder:
1. If password protection is enabled, log in using the administrator profile.
2. Select MENU by pressing the left Softkey.
3. Use the adjustment wheel to select Setup and confirm by pressing the
operating button or the Softkey for OK.
4. Use the adjustment wheel to select Reminders and confirm by pressing the
operating button or the Softkey for OK.
5. Use the adjustment wheel to select the reminder type. Confirm the
selection by pressing the operating button or the Softkey for OK.
6. Use the Softkeys for NEXT and PREV to move forward and backward in the
menu.
a. Last: shows the last time that the pipette was maintained, calibrated,
and/or checked. This date needs to be reset manually, by pressing the
Softkey for RESET.
b. Months/Weeks: shows the interval between maintenance and between
calibration in months and between checks in weeks. This interval can
be modified with the adjustment wheel. The options available are OFF
and from 1 to 12. Confirm the change and move to the next setting by
pressing the Softkey for NEXT.
c. Cycles: shows the number of pipetting cycles between maintenance,
calibration, and/or checks. The number options are OFF and from 100
to 20000. Use the adjustment wheel to change the number of cycles.
Confirm the change and move to the next setting by pressing the
Softkey for NEXT.

enabled, users can snooze reminders for the set number of days. The
options available are OFF and from 1 to 30.

NOTE! If both time intervals and number of cycles are set, the reminder will
alert you when the first one is reached.
