11. Pinch the lever on the back of the inlet tube holder to clip the
stainless steel tube securely into place.
12. Plug one end of the DB-15 cable into the back of the injector
system console and the other end to the connector labeled
PUMP CONNECTION on the back panel of the instrument.
WARNING: Use only the cable provided with the instrument. Plugging any
unauthorized cable into the connector may result in an electrical short.
6 Power on the instrument which automatically powers the
Injector System. Go to the INSTRUMENT CONTROL
screen, touch the READ button. Installation is successful if
an INJECTOR icon appears on the INSTRUMENT
STATUS bar. If no INJECTOR icon appears, verify that the
DB-15 cable is securely connected to the correct port on
the back of the instrument. Contact technical support if
further assistance is needed.
5.3 Injector System Operation
The user can define the injection volume, delay time, and integration time for each of the two
injectors using the NEW PROTOCOL wizard from the HOME window. This information is saved
with each protocol. Injectors can only be used with the luminescence protocols.
The left INJECTOR button activates Injector 1 and the right
INJECTOR button activates Injector 2.
If a protocol requires injectors, the injectors must be primed with the
reagent first. Priming wets the fluid path and removes air bubbles to
ensure delivery of an accurate injection volume for the assay.
Unused reagent in the fluid path can be retrieved. Select the option to REVERSE PURGE by
touching the INJECTOR SETUP button on the READ screen. To prevent clogging of the fluid
lines, flush after each use.
