7. Connect the Control Panel to the instrument.
Remove the nuts from the right side of the instrument. Connect the 25 pin connector from the instrument to the Control
Panel. Slide the Control Panel onto the bolts and secure it in place using the nuts.
8. Place the Chemical Containers in their holders.
If you are going to run an IDF/SDF or TDF analysis immediately after installing
the instrument, fill the Chemical Containers above the Minimum Level lines and
fill the Enzyme Containers with at least 10 ml of solution before connecting the
containers to the instrument. See Appendix A for the chemical preparations.
Do NOT fill the Chemical and Enzyme Containers if the instrument is going to sit
unused after installation.
Place the HCl Container in the holder on the left side of the instrument. In the holder on the right side of the instrument,
place the Distilled Water Container in the front section, the Buffer Container in the middle section, and the 78% EtOH
Container in the back section. The 95% EtOH Container sits on the bench behind the container holder.
To ensure proper fluid delivery, you must use the Chemical Containers provided
with the instrument, and place them in their specified locations.
9. Connect the Chemical Containers to the corresponding tubes.
The Chemical Containers and associated tubes are all labeled and
color-coded for easy connection. The large containers on the right side
of the instrument also have push-on connectors. Make sure that you
hear a click sound when you connect the tubes to the containers.
On the left side of the instrument is a black tube with an HCl label that
has a white barbed fitting on its end. Push the white barbed fitting into
the black tube connected to the HCl container.
