Preparations for Operation
Place the SCS in its permanent location.
Position the instrument to meet the minimum clearance of 5 cm (2 in.) on all
sides and 30.5 cm (12 in.) above the instrument to provide adequate space
for placing cassettes onto the unit.
Use this procedure to begin using the SCS. The unit should be located on a
bench top with room next to it for test cards and specimens. Use Figure 2-2 of
the SCS to locate and identify the various parts referred to in the procedure.
1) Connect the SCS keyboard to its receptacle (4, Figure 2-2) on the back
of the base unit.
2) Connect the bar code scanner to its receptacle (3) on the back of the
base unit.
3) Connect the external power supply cord to the back of the SCS (2) and
the main cord to an AC power outlet.
4) Push the On/Off switch (1) to turn the unit on. The computer takes a few
moments to go through its startup routine.
WARNING
Do not place the SCS in a location where it could be exposed to
direct sunlight during operation.
WARNING
An electric shock hazard could exist if the SCS or its external
power supply is immersed in water.
