1. TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit BIO FLASH Scope A condensation drainage kit has been created to handle water that condenses in the reagent carousel the water is collected in a bottle to facilitate disposal or routed directly to a drain This is an accessory upgrade optional as condensation depends on humidity present in the instrument environment and this can be completely different in each installation For technical service use only Condensation drainage kit Kit Overview Find below the items included in Condensation Drainage Kit package including this technical note Page 1 of 14 ECR 427709 Werfen Group INOVA TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit 1 Metal bracket 2 rigid tube 3 flexible tubing 1 meter 4 plastic elbow with grommet and flexible connector 5 plastic T junction and 6 4 feet and 2 washers Prior to installation of the condensation drainage kit determine where the condensation will be collected It is recommended that condensation be collected in an empty system rinse bottle re labelled to identify the bottle as condensation waste Another reusable bottle may be used instead so long as it can hold at least 1000mlI and is at least 20cm tall The bottle must be set on a flat hard surface near the left side of the instrument with the top of the bottle below the level of the instrument Alternatively the condensation may be di2. BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit motor Route the tubing around the motors as shown Adjust the position of the T junction so it points straight toward the base casting up as shown down when installed 4 Lay bracket 1 along left side of instrument as shown Identify which of three exit holes front middle or back provides most direct route to condensation collection point Page 4 of 14 ECR 427709 TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit 5 Lift and prop up the right edge of the instrument leaving enough room to gain access to the feet and to the hole below the reagent carousel A wood block is used in the example below Page 5 of 14 ECR 427709 TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit 6 Remove the two feet on the right side of the instrument looking from the front of the unit keeping the two washers Transfer the washers from the old feet to the new feet higher and add the two washers provided in the kit to each of the new feet Install the new feet and washers Page 6 of 14 ECR 427709 TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit Final positioning 7 Place the Elbow 4 screwing it into the hole below the reagent carousel See images below Initial position final position Page 7 of 14 ECR 427709 TN BF 006 BIO FLASH Technical Note Condensation drainage kit The elbow must point towards
