instrument and the other end into an appropriate AC wall socket.
6.2.2 Starting the instrument
Notice: All operator-related instructions on how to handle the instruments during
the following procedure are given in the Operator’s Manual.
1. Before switching on the instrument, make sure that the Transfer Head can move
smoothly and all covers are closed properly.
2. Switch on the instrument by pressing the mains power switch to “I”
3. The instrument will perform an initialization and check all vital components.
Please wait until the instrument will show the status “Standby”.
4. Log in as admin.
Notice: As the instrument is drained of water when delivered, eventually an error
message “Air detected in the fluid system” will appear. Ignore it until you
performed step 6. Otherwise you have to check the fluid tubing for leaks.
5. Check the Reagent Disk. If there is none inside, please insert one.
Notice: If there is a Reagent Disk inside, but is not detected by the software, then
check for correct identification by the flags. Exactly one of these flags needs
to be broken away for correct ID.
6. Use the Diagnostic function “Fill and empty fluid system” to fill the fluid system.
Watch closely the water and cleaner fluids flow through the tubing. Remove the
transfer head cover for this purpose. Replace the cover afterwards
7. Use the Maintenance function “Deproteinize Probe” to activate the probe for
correct pipetting. This process needs 2 “False bottom”-cups, (or any other suit-
able cup) one filled with 1.5 ml of ISE Deproteinizer, and one filled with 1 ml of
Activator. Those tubes have to be prepared before starting this maintenance
