7 - REPLACING THE FILTER
CAUTION:
The work safety instructions given in section 2 shall be observed when disassembling the
pipette controller.
The filter replacement is necessary, if drawing efficiency deterioration is observed.
The direct reason may be dirty filter after a long period of use.
The procedure is shown in (fig. 4).
• Remove the pipette.
• Unscrew the nosepiece (fig. 4A).
• Remove the membrane filter (fig. 4A) and the pipette holder (fig. 4B).
• Rinse the holder using a wash bottle (fig. 4C).
• Blow liquid out of the holder and leave it until it is completely dry.
• Install new membrane filter (fig. 4D) and assemble the device in reverse order.
8 - CHARGING THE BATTERIES
CAUTION:
The FASTPETTE PRO may be charged only with the original charger. The mains voltage
must conform with the specification on the charger.
Using other chargers than the original one may damage the battery of the pipette controller.
Charging the batteries in the FASTPETTE PRO pipette controller is controlled by a microprocessor
chip which controls the entire process. When the batteries have been charged, the charging circuit
disconnects automatically.
Charging:
1. Charging temperature: 10 °C to 35 °C.
2. Charging the battery is carried out through a charger (power supply) by direct connection
to the mains, or indirectly by means of a charging stand (fig. 1M). Batteries charging is indi-
cated by successive lighting of “bars” in the display order 4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1 (fig. 5).
3. Full charging time: 7-8 hours.
4. The batteries are charged when all 3 “bars” blink (fig. 5.1).
The pipette controller has 3 NiMH type AAA batteries with a capacity of 900 mAh.
You have access to the batteries (fig. 1L) and can replace them with new ones after taking off
the battery cover (fig. 1K). The manner in which the batteries are arranged is shown in fig. 8.
The service life of the batteries: approx. 1000 charging cycles, if used correctly.
It is not possible to overcharge the batteries if all instructions of the manufacturer are followed.
CAUTION:
It is not recommended to interrupt the charging process. If the charging process is inter-
rupted, the next charging may take place after the batteries have been completely dis-
charged. If the pipette controller is stored on a charging stand (fig. 7A or fig. 7B), the charg-
ing stand should be disconnected from the power supply.
