 Cooling unit E and XL
• Connect unit, using special tubes
• Remove filling lid
• Fill with 2 liters of cooling liquid (Glycol)
• Fill-up with distilled water until the top is reached
• Close the lid
• OPEN AIR TAP IN FILLING LID
• Never switch on the unit without liquid
• Switch on by means of switches Cooling and Pump
• Temperature adjustment is “password” protected and only
accessable by service engineer.
• The procedure for this adjustment is in the service manual.

 Adjusting the Level Detection XL
• Capacitive Phase Locked Loop (Sample Selectra E)
– See service manual:
• Turn P1 (CCW) to the extreme left position (needle very insensitive).
• Place an empty and dry sample tube in position 2 of the sample rotor.
• Place empty paediatric adapters on positions 1, 3, E3, 4, W, B and S1 of the sample
rotor.
• Make sure that service menu ‘Sample arm’ is selected.
• Press ‘F1’ to reset the sample arm.
• Press three times ‘’, then ‘’ to turn the sample arm into the sample tube on
position 2.
• Check on the screen that ‘Liquid sense = No’.
• Turn P1 (CW) to the right, until ‘Liquid sense = Yes’.
• Turn P1 (CCW) to the left, until ‘Liquid sense = No’.
• Turn P1 360 (one complete turn) to the left (CCW).
• Check also for some other positions if the liquid sensing works well.
