SAFETY NOTES
BEFORE OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT READ THIS MANUAL
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO FOLLOW THE LOCAL SAFETY RULES
DURING INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENT
THIS INSTRUMENT SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED AND INSTALLED BY TRAINED AND

EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION
A typical AirSTAR instrument consists of 3 modules:
•the ColdBlock Cooling unit
•the CFPP and/or CPPP Head
•the Cleaning-Docking Station
The model and serial number of each individual module can be found on an
identification sticker on the rear of the instrument. This sticker also states
voltage and frequency information. When requesting service, please provide

1.0 UNPACKING AND
INSTALLATION
BEFORE UNPACKING, REFER TO SAFETY NOTES PREVIOUS PAGE
1.1 UNPACKING
•The instrument should be unpacked and inspected immediately upon receipt:
•Check the instrument visually for damage, particularly if the packaging is
damaged.
•Verify the voltage and frequency marked on the instrument matches the
local power supply.
•Report any damage, shortfall or problems with the instrument to ORBIS BV
immediately.
•Retain all packaging for future use in shipping or long-term storage of the
instrument.
Area conditions
The instrument should be installed in an area that meets the following
conditions:
•A stable room temperature of around 18-25 °C.
•The instrument should be placed on a stable bench capable of supporting
min. 28 kg.
•Adjust the leveling feet until the instrument sits level and stable.
•Allow at least 20 cm free space around the instrument for ventilation. Do not
obstruct the air outlets (at back of the instrument).

Box 2 is labeled with the CFPP or CPPP Head image.This box contains all
parts of the AirSTAR CFPP or CPPP Head. This box also contains the power
adapter and tray for the Cleaning-Docking station.
Box 3 is labeled with the Cleaning-Docking station image.This box contains
the Cleaning-Docking station and cleaning beaker.
1.2 ASSEMBLY COLDBLOCK
IMPORTANT:
Before switching on ColdBlock, remove the 4 black clamps from the bottom
of the unit. (During transport these clamps fix the inside cooling engine to the
unit’s body. When in operation, the cooling engine should be free from the
unit’s body to prevent vibration).
How to remove the clamps:
•carefully tilt ColdBlock a little bit sideways.
•remove the bolt that holds the clamp (wrench size 8). Remove the clamp.
(image 1 & 2)
•repeat on the other side.
•carefully lift and turn ColdBlock in operation position (front side with iPad
facing you)

1. Connect the unit to the mains power using the mains power cable. Connect
the instrument side of the cable to the mains connector.
2. When working with one AirSTAR unit and one Zebra printer or PC/Server,
connect both “clients” directly with network cable (image 4).
3. When working with multiple AirSTAR units, and/or connection with Zebra
printer or PC/Server is required, connect all “clients” in a local network using
a network hub (image 5).
4. Power up ColdBlock with the switch on the rear side of the unit
5. Switch on the iPad and unlock it (no passcode required from factory)
