10. In the Luminex Data Collector Main window, click Prime.
During this prime cycle, use a screwdriver to adjust the regulator
on the front of the Luminex SD system. See Figure C-2. Adjust it
until the sheath pressure displayed in the System Monitor reads
the same as the sheath pressure you recorded in step 4. The
system should stabilize at this sheath pressure. The air pressure
should be the same as you recorded in step 4, within 0.1 psi.
If the Prime cycle ends before you have completed the
adjustment, select Prime again and continue to adjust the
regulator.
11. Calibrate the system again. Observe the sheath pressure
displayed in the System Monitor during the calibration cycle.
The pressure should be within 0.1 psi of the pressure recorded in
Step 4.
Using the Sheath
Delivery System
When you turn on the Luminex analyzer, verify that the Luminex
Sheath Delivery system is also on. When not powered on, the
reservoir in the Luminex SD system can be depleted, but it will not
refill. This could result in air being introduced into the Luminex
analyzer. You can leave the Luminex SD system powered on at all
times.
You may use the Luminex SD system with the waste bottle provided
with the Luminex analyzer or with the waste line provided with the
Luminex SD system. If you use the waste bottle provided with the
Luminex analyzer, you must continue to monitor and periodically
empty it.
Audible Alarm and
Fault LED
The Luminex SD system has an audible alarm that sounds to indicate
that the bulk sheath fluid container is empty. The red fault light on
the front panel flashes as the alarm sounds. When this happens, insert
the filtered end of the sheath intake line into a new container of
sheath fluid and press the Prime button on the front of the Luminex
SD system. If the alarm does not go off when you push Prime, turn
the power off and restart it. The Luminex SD system refills its
reservoir and resumes normal operation.
The bulk sheath container may be replaced while using the Luminex
analyzer without interrupting operation. It is not necessary to prime
the Luminex SD system if you do this.
Note: Do not move the Sheath
Delivery (SD) system, sheath bottle,
or the sheath line while the system is
in use.
