Charging/Recharging
Warning: Use only the original Thermo
Scientific S1 Pipet Filler charger and battery
pack.
The pipet filler battery may be
discharged when delivered and
must be charged before initial
use. Insert the country specific
power plug adapter into the
power supply unit. Plug the
power supply into the recharge
socket at the base of the
pipettor’s handle and the other end to an AC
wall socket. Allow the unit to charge anywhere
from 15minutes to 2hours. To extend the
battery life cycle, it’s recommended to
charge the pipet filler every two months
even if it is not used on a daily basis.
A typical S1 Pipet Filler battery lasts
for approximately 400charging cycles.
Please note that a depleted battery can
cause the pipette to malfunction. We
recommend that at a minimum you should
change the battery every 3years. For added
ease and convenience, S1Pipet Filler features:
• A battery icon on the LCD display that
indicates the level of battery charge --
the more bars, the greater the charge.
• Special circuitry that makes it impossible
to overcharge the battery and that
allows the pipettor to be charged or
partially charged at any convenient time.
Using S1 Pipet Filler
To use your S1 Pipet Filler, insert a pipet
securely in the holder and follow these simple
directions:
To Aspirate
Insert the pipet into your sample and depress
the upper trigger.
To Dispense
Insert the pipet into your chosen vessel and
depress the lower trigger. (Partially depressing
the trigger allows for controlled gravity
dispensing.)
To Set The Pump Speed
Buttons on the rear of your S1 Pipet Filler
unit allow you to set your aspiration (upper
button) and dispense (lower button) speeds.
Eight speeds are available for each function
– simply push “+” for faster and “-” for
slower. Your selection will be displayed on
the lower portion of the pipettor’s LCD. A zero
speed selection on dispense enables gravity
dispensing.
Disinfecting And Disassembling
The entire S1 Pipet Filler can be cleaned with
most common laboratory disinfectants but
must not be submerged in liquid. To prepare
the unit for cleaning:
• Remove the nosepiece by turning the
housing in a counterclockwise direction.
• Remove the silicone rubber pipet gripper
from the nosecone. Pipet gripper and
nosecone may be autoclaved.
Air Filter
Aspiration rate slowing may be a sign that
the air filter needs replacing. To do so, remove
the nosepiece and pipet gripper, pull the filter
firmly and wiggle to remove from body.
