To insert a 1000-series reaction module into the reaction module bay of the thermal
cycler base, follow these instructions:
1. With the locking bar in the down position and the lid lever of the reaction module pointing
to the front, lift the reaction module into the reaction module bay (Figure 4). Leave 1–2
cm of space in front of the module.
Figure 4. Inserting the reaction module into the bay.
2. Pull the locking bar up to lock the reaction module in place (Figure 5). There should be no
space at the front of the module when it is locked into the C1000 Touch thermal cycler
base.

cycler base.
NOTE: Before operating the thermal cycler, be sure to read the safety
specifications (“Safety and Regulatory Compliance” on page iii) and operating

5. When the C1000 Touch thermal cycler starts, it runs a self-test to verify proper functions,
and then displays the home screen. Use the home screen to begin operating the thermal
cycler.
To remove the reaction module from the thermal cycler base, follow these instructions:
1. Turn off the thermal cycler.
2. Unlock and release the reaction module by pushing the locking bar down.
3. Carefully lift the reaction module out of the bay.
WARNING! Cooling fins may be hot immediately after running a protocol or
incubation. Before lifting the reaction module, make sure the fins are cool.
4. After removing the reaction module from the C1000 Touch thermal cycler, store it on a
clean, flat surface where it cannot get bumped, scraped, or dropped.
