5.2 Starting the Mastercycler nexus
Prerequisites
The Mastercycler nexus is properly set up and connected to the power supply.
 Switch on the device using the power switch at the back (see p. 11).
The status lamp lights up and the fan starts.
The display illumination is switched on (not for Mastercycler nexus eco).
5.2.1 Defining the administrator PIN
The first time the device is started, you can define an administrator PIN to protect it against unauthorized
access. The administrator PIN is saved and will be maintained even when the Mastercycler nexus is
switched off.
If an administrator PIN has not been defined, you will be prompted to define one.
NOTICE! Data loss due to unauthorized use of the administrator password.
The administrator password protects the device software from unwanted access.
 Make a note of the administrator password.
 Keep the administrator password at a secure location.
 Only provide the administrator password to individuals who work with the system
configuration.
 Please contact Eppendorf AG if you have any problems with the administrator password.
• If you do not want to use user management, you do not need to define an administrator
PIN. In this case, leave the input fields in the Input Admin PIN window blank and deactivate
the PIN function. Further information on user management can be found separately (see
System settings on p. 70).
• If the PIN function is activated (see System settings on p. 70), you must define an
administrator PIN. If you do not do this, the input prompt will appear each time the device
is switched on.
• You can also change the administrator PIN at a later time (see Changing the administrator
PIN on p. 69).
