Start PipettePilot
The SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S3 provided with TRACKMAN Connected is preloaded with
the PipettePilot application.
NOTE
The tablet user manual is available directly on the tablet.
Place your SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S3 on the tablet holder and switch it on to access to
PipettePilot application.
PipettePilot works with any PIPETMAN M Connected pipette and can be used with
other pipette models with limited performance.
Please consult www.gilsonconnect.com.
A tutorial at the beginning of the application will explain the main steps to run your
experiment. The HELP section in PipettePilot menu explains all features of the
application.
Environment Sensor
The environment sensor is connected by Bluetooth® to the tablet. It measures
temperature, humidity, and pressure at bench and wirelessly send the data to the tablet
in order to track environment parameters during your experiments. The soft touch
color rubber on top of the environment sensor is a button.
Turn the environment sensor on by pressing gently on the purple side. The LED will
blink three times to indicate it is on.
When prompted by PipettePilot, connect the environment sensor to the tablet using
the Bluetooth® connection. Once turned on and connected, the environment sensor
will automatically begin monitoring temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Strip adapter
A strip adapter is provided for 8-tube strips.
Place your strip(s) in the adapter.
Place the adapter in the microplate holder (refer to Figure 4).

Recommendations
Before beginning your experiment, take a few minutes to get organized and
ensure you have:
• an appropriate posture,
• the right material,
• the appropriate method,
• an organized workspace.
A good test is to see if you can rest your elbow comfortably on the work surface.
If not, your receptacle may be too low or too high. Find the right height.

MAINTENANCE
Battery
Environment sensor
The environment sensor battery can be changed by removing the two small PHILIPS 00
screws and removing the back battery cover.
The device takes a coin cell CR2032. It should be inserted so that the + side is facing
outwards. For more details, refer to the environment sensor user manual available
here.
The back battery cover may have small padding elements on the inside of it. If this is
the case, ensure the padding elements remain in place when putting the battery
cover back on.
You will know when the battery is properly inserted since it will blink three times and
then once every time the button is pushed. If the environment sensor blinks three
times every time the button is pushed, this is an indication the battery is not making a
good connection and will need to be reseated.
SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S3
When your tablet runs out of battery, simply charge it with the power supply.
It is recommended to keep the tablet plugged in while running.
Do not try to open the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S3: the battery is not removable from
the device.
Decontamination
Accessories and screen protectors could be cleaned with a soft cloth or lint free tissue
dipped in distilled water, simple soap solution, ethanol, or DNA/RNAse remover.
NOTICE
Do not autoclave any TRACKMAN Connected components.
