Microplate Luminometer Installation and Commissioning
21
3.5 Connecting the Instruments
❏ Carefully take the Microplate Luminometer out of the
cardboard box and place it on your lab bench.
❏ Open the instrument door.
❏ Using a flat head screwdriver, unscrew the red transport
securing screw, which holds the microplate transport unit (to
the right next to the microplate frame).
❏ Keep the screw and use it again to transport the instrument!
To the left of the sample compartment, there is a threaded
hole in which the screw can be stored by screwing it in.
CAUTION: Save screw and install it again when
transporting the instrument.
❏ Check if the wall socket voltage matches the operating
voltage labeled on the instrument rear panel (label and
position of the white pin on the fuse holder). If not, you must
change the operating voltage by re-plugging the voltage
selection card, so that the operating voltage matches local
voltage. See section 8.3. Check and replace the fuses, if
necessary. See section 8.2.
