Before being serviced, the pipet controller should be cleaned and decontaminated. Written

details including the precise specification of solutions used and the type of laboratory in

which the device was used, should be sent with the product.

7. Replacing the filter

Note: The work safety instructions given in section 2 should be observed when disassembling

the pipet controller.

The filter replacement is necessary if drawing efficiency deterioration is observed. The direct

reason may be a dirty filter after a long period of use. The procedure is shown in (Figure 4).

• Remove the pipet.

• Unscrew the nose piece (Figure 4A).

• Remove the membrane filter (Figure 4A) and the pipet holder (Figure 4B).

• Rinse the holder using a wash bottle (Figure 4C).

• Blow liquid out of the holder and set aside until it is completely dry.

• Install the new membrane filter (Figure 4D), and assemble the device in reverse order.

8. Charging the Battery

The pipet controller may be charged only with the original charger. The main voltage must

conform with the specification on the charger.

Note: Using other chargers than the original one may damage the battery of the pipet

controller.

Charging the battery in the pipet controller is controlled by a time circuit which controls

the entire process. When the battery has been fully charged, the charging circuit discon-

nects automatically.

Charging:

1. Charging temperature: 10°C to 35°C.

2. C harge the battery by using a charger (power supply) by direct connection to the mains,

or indirectly by means of a charging stand (Figure 1M). Every pipet controller is supplied

with a charger and a charging base station. Battery charging is indicated by the successive

lighting of "bars" in the display order 4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1 (Figure 5).

3. Full charging time: 11 to 14 hours.

4. The battery level is indicated by displaying three ''bars" which display continuously

(Figure 5.1).

The pipet controller has a NiMH type battery.

The service life of the battery is approx. 1,000 charging cycles, if used correctly. It is not

possible to overcharge the battery, if all instructions of the manufacturer are followed.

Note: Charging should not be interrupted. If the charging process is interrupted, the next

charging cycle should only be after the battery has been completely discharged.

In order to prolong the life span of a rechargeable battery the following rules should be

followed:

1. Before the pipet controller is activated for the first time the battery should be charged.

2. The pipet controller should not be left uncharged for a long period of time.

3. If the pipet controller is left unused, charge cycles should be performed every six months.

9. Maintenance

Cleaning

The pipet controller does not require any maintenance. The external parts of the pipet

controller may be cleaned with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

The nose piece and the pipet holder may be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 minutes. After

autoclaving, allow the silicone pipet holder to cool. The filters included in the set may be

sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C for not more than 15 minutes.

Ultra violet (UV) sterilization

The outer body of the pipet controller is UV resistant, however the recommended distance

from the radiation source to the exposed element should not be less than 50 cm.

Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause decoloration of pipet controller parts,

without affecting its performance.

Storage

The pipet controller should be stored in a dry place. Recommended storage temperature:

-20°C to +50°C.

When not in use, the pipet controller should be placed in the wall hanger included with

the pipet controller.

The wall hanger may be fixed on a wall on a hook or use the adhesive tape attached. The

surface for the wall hanger should be smooth, clean, and degreased. After cleaning the

surface, it should be wiped with isopropyl alcohol and left to dry. Before fixing the wall

hanger, remove the protective film from the adhesive tape attached. Press the wall hanger

hard to the surface and leave it attached without any weight for a period of 24 hours.

Note: Do not store the pipet controller with a filled pipet.

10. Components

The pipet controller set is supplied with the following components:

• Universal charger with set of adapters

• Bench stand

• Charging base station

• Membrane filter 0.2 µm

• Instruction manual

• Wall hanger
