3.8 CongureaProSeriesPlateletAgitatorforUseinaProSeriesIncubator(Optional)
When a Pro Series platelet agitator is installed, motion data is transmitted between the platelet agitator and platelet incubator
through the data cable. The platelet incubator interprets the motion data and provides information regarding the status and state of
the agitator. The incubator generates its own motion alarm, based on its own alarm delay period. If enabled, the motion alarm on
the platelet agitator will sound only if motion has stopped and communication to the incubator has been lost.
Note
• Only Helmer Pro series platelet agitator may be used with Pro series platelet incubator.
• Refer to the platelet agitator service manual for more information regarding the installation of a platelet agitator in a
platelet incubator.

8 Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance tasks should be completed according to the following schedule. Refer to the service manual for more detail on the
various tasks.
Note
These are recommended minimum requirements. Regulations for your organization or physical conditions at your
organization may require maintenance items to be performed more frequently, or only by designated service personnel.
Task Frequency
Quarterly Annually As Needed
Test the high and low temperature alarms. ü
Test the power failure alarm (as required by your organization’s protocols). ü
Test the door open alarm. ü
Test the no battery alarm. ü
Test the motion alarm. ü
Check the temperature calibration for the temperature monitor and change it if
necessary. ü
Check the temperature calibration for the temperature controller and change it if
necessary. ü
Check the backup battery for the motion alarm system after an extended power
failure and change it if necessary. (qty 1, 12v 7 AHr SLA battery) ü
(only PC100-Pro with integrated full system battery backup)
Check the system backup battery functionality to operate the complete system
(+PF15-Pro agitator) and change if necessary, or change batteries (2) if in service
for 2 years. (12v 18AHr SLA batteries)
ü
Check the backup battery for the chart recorder after an extended power failure
and change it if necessary, or change the battery if it has been in service for one
year. Refer to the Temperature Chart Recorder Operation and Service Manual.
ü
Clean the external fan grill. ü
Clean the exterior and interior. ü
Clean the door gaskets. ü
Replace moving parts if worn or when prompted by the agitation maintenance
reminder. ü
Notes
• During a power failure, the sealed lead acid (SLA) backup battery provides power to the monitoring system
and the power failure alarm. If the backup battery is not functioning, the power failure alarm will not be activated.
• If the backup battery does not provide power to the monitoring system during the power failure alarm test, replace
the battery.
• Use only a 12V 7AHr SLAbattery for the standard monitoring and alarm system battery backup.
• Use only a 12V 18AHr SLAbattery (quantity 2) for the PC100-Pro integrated full system battery backup.
