2.4 Install Pro Line Platelet Agitator (PC2200-Pro or PC3200-Pro - Optional)
A Pro Line platelet agitator may be installed in a Pro Line platelet incubator. Connect the data cable and DC power cable supplied
with the incubator prior to placing the agitator inside the incubator.
The communication switch on the agitator must be set correctly to ensure proper communication with the i.Center Plus on the
Pro Line incubator. Each agitator communication switch must be set to a unique position that corresponds with its position in the
incubator; either 1 or 2 when installed in a PC2200-Pro, or 1, 2 or 3 when installed in a PC3200-Pro incubator.
Agitator communication switch
Notes
• Use only DC power cord supplied with incubator when conguring agitator within incubator.
• Ensure elbowed end of DC power cord is attached to agitator.
• Ensure AC power and backup battery power are turned OFF prior to connecting a Pro Line agitator to a Pro Line incubator.
• To avoid injury from heavy lifting, Helmer recommends using two people when installing agitators.
• Pro Line agitators should be installed one at a time ensuring shelf is fully inserted prior to loading an additional unit.
• Only a Helmer Pro Line platelet agitator may be used with a Pro Line platelet incubator.
• Ensure data cable is carefully positioned to the right of the agitator to prevent damage caused by agitation motion.
• The communication switch is fragile, do not use excessive force when changing the setting.
• PC3200-Pro only: when using fewer than three PF96-Pro agitators, ensure agitators are installed in the lower
positions to optimize temperature uniformity.
Select the communication switch position and connect the data cable and DC power cable supplied with the incubator prior to
placing the agitator inside the incubator.
DC Power Cable Communication Cable Power Connection and Data Ports
Connect Pro Line Platelet Agitator
1. Select position 1, 2 or 3 on the Pro Line platelet agitator communication switch using a small athead screwdriver.
(Each agitator installed must have its own unique position. DO NOT DUPLICATE)
2. Attach the DC power cable to the rear of the platelet agitator, ensuring the elbowed end is attached to the agitator and the
rotating lock is nger tight.
3. Insert the communication cable in the data port on the platelet agitator.
4. On the platelet incubator, carefully slide the shelf out and place the agitator allowing ample space on both sides for
agitation motion. Ensure the shelf is fully inserted once the platelet agitator is in place.
5. Attach the DC power cable to the platelet incubator ensuring the rotating lock is nger tight.
6. Insert the communication cable in the data port on the rear wall of the platelet incubator.

CongureaProLinePlateletAgitatorforUseinaProLineIncubator(PC2200-Pro or PC3200-Pro - Optional)
When a Pro Line 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.
Notes
• Only Helmer Pro Line platelet agitator may be used with Pro Line platelet incubator.
• Refer to the Pro Line platelet agitator service manual for more information regarding the installation of a platelet agitator
in a Pro Line platelet incubator.
• Helmer recommends the agitator alarm remain enabled when congured inside an incubator.
• With the alarm enabled, the agitator alarm will time out and sound if power to the incubator is turned o󰀨 for a duration
greater than the motion delay.
• In the event of a communication failure with the incubator, the agitator alarm will only sound if the agitator alarm switch
is turned ON.
AgiTrak Setup
AgiTrak can be accessed through the Settings or Applications menus. Select the AgiTrak button to open the setup screen.
Enter the desired settings to allow monitoring and control of the device.

150 kHz to 80MHz
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be
used no closer to any part of the product, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter
Recommended separation distance:
d = 1.2√P
d = 1.2√P
for 80 MHz to 800 MHz
d = 2.3√P
for 800 MHz to 5.7 GHz
where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in
Watt (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site surveya,should be less than the compliance
levelb in each frequency range.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment
marked with this symbol.
Radiated RF
IEC 61000-4-3 3 V/m to 28 V/m at frequencies up to 5.785 GHz
aField strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered, if the measured
eld strength in the location in which the product is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the product should be observed. If abnormal operation is observed, additional
measures may be necessary such as reorienting or relocating the product.
bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Notes
• At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies
• These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is a󰀨ected by absorption and reection from structures, objects, people and animals.
Recommended Separation Distances
This product is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer
or the user of the product can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the product – according to the maximum output power and frequency of
the communications equipment – as recommended in the following table.
