PlateLoc installation
For the following tasks, see the G5585B PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer User Guide (part number
G5051-90002).
Unpack the PlateLoc using the techniques provided from your training or user guide.
Position the PlateLoc at the desired location.
Connect the AC power cord to the PlateLoc.
Connect the air line from the air source to the PlateLoc using the pneumatics kit provided. Ensure
that you install the in-line toggle switch between the air source and the PlateLoc.
Gas-Purging PlateLoc only. Connect the PlateLoc to the argon source.
Turn on the PlateLoc power, and then turn on the air.
The pressure gauge on the back of the PlateLoc Sealer indicates the presence of air flow only.
Check the air pressure readout on the touchscreen to verify the regulated air pressure inside the
device is approximately 0.599–0.62 MPa (87–90 psi).
If applicable, establish communication between the PlateLoc and computer:
oConnect the PlateLoc to the computer using the serial cable-to-USB adapter provided
oInstall the automation control software, for example, VWorks software. If using software
other than VWorks, install the PlateLoc ActiveX control.
oIn PlateLoc Diagnostics, create the device profile.
Use the loading card to load the seal. (Use Agilent-recommended seal.) Make sure the seal is straight,
and then lock in the seal.
Using the PlateLoc touchscreen, set the temperature and seal time based on the customer's
microplate.
