INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
PART A: INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION
3.1 PREINSTALLATION CHECKS
Space and Accessibility Requirements
If the reagent pack will be placed on the floor, measure the bench height. The reagent pack
should not be more than 36 in. below the lyse pump. This allows for a bench height of about
32 in.
Check the site for proper space allocation (Table 3.1-1)
.
Power Requirements
1. Check for the availability of a power connector.
Make sure the instrument is close enough to a power outlet that the ac power cable safely
reaches it. The ac power cable is 6 ft long and facing the back of the instrument, it is
connected in the lower left corner (Figure 3.1-1).
2. Measure the system power:
r The MD II Series is labeled and sold for three power ranges, 100 Vac, 120 Vac and
230 Vac.
r The system can be configured for four different power ranges. Table 3.1-2 shows the
four power ranges and a part number for the associated configuration jumper.
Table 3.1-1 Space Requirements
Linear Dimensions Required by Instrument Preferred by Service

IMPORTANT
May compromise instrument results. If you use an extension cord, you could encounter
electrical interference that could affect the instrument’s results. Locate the instrument close enough to a
power outlet that an extension cord is not necessary.
