SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

Important Retain the shipping container and all packaging materials, including the wooden

pallet. In the event that the instrument needs to be returned for service, the instrument

must be shipped in the original container to maintain warranty protection.

Locating the Instrument

Select a location for the Mx3000P or Mx3005P instrument according to the

following guidelines:

•Select a flat, level surface

•Ensure that the workbench is capable of supporting at least 45 lbs

(20.4 kg)

•Allow 4 inches (10.2 cm) airflow on the front and rear of the instrument

•Position the instrument to allow easy access to the instrument power

entry module (containing the instrument power switch)

•The instrument should be installed in a location where it will not be

exposed to direct sunlight or vibration during use

Environmental Conditions for Use

•Maximum altitude: 2000 m (6562 ft)

•Ambient temperature and relative humidity range for operation:

18–35°C (65–95°F); up to 85% non-condensing humidity

•Installation Category II

Installation Category ratings establish standardized voltage levels

that may occur in the electrical distribution system. Category II is

for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the

electrical distribution system (i.e. a wall outlet on normal single-

phase supply [115/230 VAC]).

•Pollution Degree 2

Pollution Degree ratings define the type of environment the

equipment is typically installed in. Pollution Degree 2 refers to an

office environment with occasional condensation.

•For Indoor Use Only

Unpacking the Instrument

Note To ensure safety, we recommend that the lifting and unpacking of

the system be performed by two people.

1. Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Do not apply force

to any part of the instrument directly; instead apply force to the plastic

bag or foam supports surrounding the instrument.

Important Retain the shipping container and all packaging

materials, including the wooden pallet. In the event that

the instrument needs to be returned for service, the

instrument must be shipped in the original container to

maintain warranty protection.

2. Remove the foam and cardboard supports and the plastic bag, then

place the instrument in an appropriate location (see Locating the

Instrument).

3. Remove the tape securing the instrument door from the instrument

front.

4. Open the instrument door by pushing up on the door handle. Remove

and retain the foam used to immobilize the scanning-head on the track.

5. Move the scan arm to the left of the thermal block top.

6. To access the thermal block, unlatch the heated lid by pulling forward

on the handle and then rotating the lid up and away from the thermal

block. Gently push down on the handle to lock the lid into the open

position. To close the lid on the thermal block, gently pull up on the

handle to release. After rotating the lid back to the closed position,

gently push the handle toward the back of the instrument to lock it into

the closed position.

7. Surrounding the 96-well thermal block is a plastic Perfect Fit frame.

Remove and retain the Perfect Fit frame for later use. See the Sample

Loading section for more information about the Perfect Fit frame.

Note Par mesure de sécurité, nous recommandons

Installing the Fuse

Important Do not turn on the instrument until you have installed the

fuse holder. The fuse is required for proper instrument

operation.

1. Remove the label located over the power entry module on the back of

the instrument just above the power switch.

2. Use a small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to open the fuse box.

3. Unpack the fuse holder from its shipping container.

4 Mx3000P and Mx3005P QPCR Systems Setup and User’s Guide

4. The flat edge of the fuse holder has two different voltage labels (115V

and 230V) printed in opposite orientation to each other. With the voltage

labels facing out, insert the fuse holder into the fuse box so that the label

for the desired voltage is in the proper orientation. (If your instrument is

100-120 volts, insert the fuse holder such that the 115V label is right-

side-up. If your instrument is 200-240 volts, insert the fuse holder such

that the 230V label is right-side-up.)

5. Replace the cover on the fuse box. Verify that the correct voltage label

is visible through the cover.
