BioOptix™ 10

Section 4 System Maintenance

4.2 Exterior Cleaning

4.3Piston Seal Replacement

The BioOptix 10 system pumps the wash fluid, flushing the Buffer In lines, gradient formation components, pump, and purge lines. (See Figure B-6 in Appendix B.)

For general cleaning of the enclosure, use distilled water with a mild detergent. Use isopropyl alcohol for tougher stains. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using aggressive solvents like acetone on printed areas.

CAUTION

Do not immerse the instrument in a water bath. The instrument is not watertight and this action could damage the internal electronics.

Should pump performance degrade, the piston seals should be replaced.

To replace the piston seals:

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before servicing. Only trained personnel may open the case enclosure.

WARNING

Earth ground bonding connector. Do not remove or disconnect.

1.Remove the rear cover (item 1, Figure 4-2) by unfastening the nine screws located on the top and back of the BioOptix 10.

2.Unfasten the bottom 2 screws and rotate the valve assem- bly up. Slide the slide lock over to catch and hold the valve assembly.

3.Remove the upper valve assembly (item 2, Figure 4-2) by unfastening the four screws. After removing, the valve assembly can be rotated upward and placed on top of the system with the cables and tubing still attached.

4.Remove the drip tray (item 3, Figure 4-2).

5.Remove the four screws (item 4, Figure 4-2) that secure the pump assembly to the side panel.

6.Remove the pan head screw from the top mounting tab (Figure 4-3).

7.Remove the 7/64" Allen head screw from the bottom mount- ing tab.

8.Lift the pump assembly up and out of the case.

Note

Do not disconnect tubing or wires. They are long enough to allow access to all sides of the pump assembly.
