2.5 Touch-screen
A touch-screen mounted on the right of the Peloris connects to a computer in the instrument that
controls all instrument operations.
Use the Peloris software on the touch-screen to configure the instrument, run protocols, and
perform ancillary operations such as replacing reagents. Tap buttons and icons with your finger or a
blunt object – do not use sharp objects. Ensure no strong solvents come into contact with the
touch-screen.
Optional stick-on/ peel-off touch-screen protectors, provided by Leica Microsystems, can be used to
protect to the touch-screen.
In its normal operating position the touch-screen sits over the wax bath lid, but can be rotated to
give clearance to open the lid. The screen can be remounted so its normal position is to the right of
the mounting stem rather than over the instrument. See your service representative if you want to
change the touch-screen position.
2.6 External Vapor Removal Systems
Figure 18. Vapor select valve (1) and vapor outlet (2)
The outlet for instrument vapors can be switched between the internal carbon filter and an external
vapor extraction system. At the rear of each instrument there is a valve that directs vapors to either
the carbon filter or to an outlet that can be connected into the external system.
CAUTION
If the touch-screen goes blank or is unreadable, turn off the instrument immediately.
