VetScan HM2™ Installation Guide
Space Requirements
- Select a location near a power source and close to a suitable drain.
- Place the unit on a clean and level surface.
- Leave at least 0.5 m space on both sides and above the instrument to access the pneumatics and built in printer. A minimum of 0.2 m must be maintained between the rear panel and the wall to allow for heat dissipation and tube clearance.
The best place for the reagent pack is on the same level with the HM2 or on the floor, below the counter that the instrument is placed on. The pneumatics system is capable of aspirating reagents from containers 1.0 m below the reagent inputs. Make sure the reagent tubes are not bent, broken, twisted or blocked in between the desk that the instrument is on and the wall behind. DO NOT PLACE the reagents above the instrument, as there can be a risk of falling and spilling.
