Detailed Operating Instructions
40 Bio-Plex Pro and Bio-Plex Pro II Wash Stations
Detailed Installation
When installing, moving, or connecting the instrument, follow the instructions in this
publication. Bio-Rad® Laboratories does not accept the responsibility for injury
suffered by anyone attempting these operations without following the instructions in
this publication, nor for damage incurred to the instrument.
Make sure the laboratory meets all the requirements and conditions described in this
chapter.
Required Working Area
Select an instrument location that is flat, level, vibration free, away from direct
sunlight, and free from dust, solvents, and acid vapors.
Allow at least 10 cm (4 in.) between the instrument and the wall or any other
equipment. Do not place any items close to the instrument that could obstruct airflow.
Ideally the liquid bottles should be placed at the same level as the instrument and in
plain sight so they can be easily monitored for liquid level. They should not be placed
more than 1 m below the level of the instrument since this may result in instrument
malfunction.
For information regarding outer dimensions and weight of the instrument, see
the Instrument Specifications section on page 30.
Power Requirements
The instrument is designed to operate at either 100-120 V or 220-240 V.
No voltage setting is required as the instrument automatically senses the supplied
voltage.
