2.5 Spot Cutter Installation
If you are installing the ProteomeWorks Spot Cutter, catalog number 165-7009, at the same time
as the Fluorescent Enclosure, complete the spot cutter installation steps up to calibration. Place
the spot cutter on the black base mat and level it, but do not add the fluorescent enclosure until
the camera installation is completed. This will make the camera installation easier.
2.6 Installing the Enclosure Cabinet
1. Familiarize yourself with the white/UV light switch and plug-in locations on the back of the
spot cutter before adding the Enclosure using the following picture:
Fig. 11. UV light socket and toggle switch.
2. Place the black base mat on the bench in the location for the spot cutter.
3. Place the spot cutter on the black base mat.
4. Level the spot cutter on the black base mat.
5. Connect all spot cutter cables: camera cable, serial port communication cable, power
cable. Lay the cables out the back of the spot cutter so that they do not overlap each
other at the point the enclosure will cover the cables. The enclosure light seal may be
compromised if the cables are on top of each other and raise the enclosure off the base
mat.
6. It is recommended that two people lift the Enclosure. Lift and tilt the Enclosure (with UV
lights installed but without the door) slightly forward. Lift the enclosure case over the top
of the spot cutter and onto the base mat. Take care that you do not bump the camera. If
you do, continue with the enclosure but re-check the camera position before calibrating.
7. Position the Enclosure and spot cutter so that the spot cutter is towards the back of the
Enclosure box, and the spot cutter is centered within the Enclosure from left to right.
8. Attach the UV lights power cord from the back of the Enclosure into the UV light socket
on the back of the spot cutter. See the above picture for orientation of the 3-prong plug.
9. Re-attach the door to the front of the Enclosure. Line up the hinges and release the two
catches to snap the bolts of the hinge back into place.
2.7 Software Setup
Use the following steps to load the PDQuest software included with the Enclosure onto the
computer in either the Viewer Mode (unlicensed version), or the full feature (licensed version).
