• 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.
• Attach the power cord to the input module on the back of the
Luminex SD system. Connect the P1 cable (PN 85-10011-
00-068) to the back of the SD and to P2 on the back of the
analyzer. Plug the power cord into the power outlet. See
Figure B-12.

4. 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.
5. Open the center access door on the Luminex 100 analyzer. Use a
screwdriver to turn the regulator fully clockwise. This typically
takes three to six full turns. Regulator is under arrow as Figure
B-13 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.
