• Connect the other end of the air line to the air connector on
the left side of the Luminex analyzer (green fitting).
• If you are using the Luminex SD system waste line, connect
the waste line tubing to the waste connector on the left side
of the Luminex analyzer (orange fitting). Place the other end
of the waste line into an appropriate biohazard receptacle.
Cut off excess tubing and make sure the waste receptacle is
level with the Luminex analyzer or no more than three feet
below it.
• Connect the sheath fluid intake line (white fitting) to the
Sheath In connector on the front of the Luminex SD system.
• Connect the power cord to the back of the Luminex SD
system and plug the other end into an approved outlet.
7. Lower the stainless steel filter end of the sheath fluid line to the
bottom of a full 20 liter box of sheath fluid. Secure the cap on the
sheath fluid box. Place the sheath fluid container so that the cap
is on the top.
8. Turn on the power to the Luminex SD system; the Luminex SD
system automatically primes itself. You hear the Luminex SD
system pump turn on. When the Luminex SD reservoir is about
2/3 full, it automatically stops priming.
9. Open the center access door on the Luminex analyzer. Use a
screwdriver to turn the regulator fully clockwise. This typically
takes three to six full turns. Regulator is under arrow as
Figure C-2 shows.

Note: Ensure that the sheath fluid
box is at least three feet below the
system, otherwise the Luminex SD
system will overfill.
Note: The regulator must be fully
opened to work properly. It is
important to make sure that you
turn it as far as it will go.
