Installing the shield

About this topic

This topic explains how to install the safety shield on the front of the BenchCel Microplate Handler. Additional shields may be required depending on the workstation configuration. Typically, the BenchCel Microplate Handler and workstation safety equipment will be installed for you.

 

WARNING Changing the installed workstation might invalidate the safety compliance and lead to personal injury or equipment damage.

Before you start

Make sure you have the following:

•	3‑mm hex wrench

•	Low-head M5 screws (supplied)

•	1 shield for each pair of stackers

For example, a BenchCel Microplate Handler with six stackers requires three shields, as the following figure shows.

 

Procedure

To install the safety shield:

1	Place the safety shield on the front of the BenchCel Microplate Handler centered between the pair of stackers. The ledge of the shield should sit on the top of the device.

2	Insert the four M5 screws into the shield.
