Luminex FLEXMAP 3D User Manual - Manual (Page 22)

Subsystems
The Luminex ® FLEXMAP 3D ® instrument includes four subsystems: electronic, fluidic,
mechanical, and optical. The following topics describe the user-accessible components of
each subsystem.
Electronics
The electronics system provides the power for operation and control of the FLEXMAP 3D ®
system and communication between its parts.
Power Input Module
The power input module contains the input power plug and fuses. This is the protective
earthing point for the Luminex
® FLEXMAP 3D ® system. The mating power cord connector
type is IEC-320-C13. The mating power cord provides electrical power to the instrument
when it is connected to an electrical outlet and is the means of disconnection. The power
input auto-senses the voltage range. See the "Back of the FLEXMAP 3D
® Instrument" image
below.
WARNING: Do not obstruct this means of disconnection. Connect only to
outlets that contain protective earthing. Before changing a fuse,
turn off the instrument and unplug the power cord to avoid any
danger of electrical shock.
Communications Ports (USB Type B Connector)
The communications port connects the Luminex ® FLEXMAP 3D ® instrument to the computer.
