7 Pro Line Platelet Agitator Operation

When a platelet agitator is installed in a platelet incubator, power is supplied to the agitator through a dedicated DC power cord.
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.

7.1 Initial Start-Up

Notes

• Only Helmer Pro Line platelet agitator models may be used with Pro Line platelet incubator models.

• Refer to platelet agitator service manual for more information regarding installation of a platelet agitator in a
platelet incubator.

• Ensure data cable is carefully positioned to right of agitator to prevent damage caused by agitation motion.

• Use only manufacturer supplied DC power cord when conguring platelet agitator in platelet incubator.

• Ensure power switch and alarm switch are switched OFF prior to connecting agitator power cord to incubator.

• Ensure agitator communication switch is set to 1.

1. Switch alarm ON/OFF switch ON.

2. Select alarm volume and alarm delay settings.

3. Switch power ON/OFF switch ON.

7.2 Motion Alarm

When installing the Pro Line platelet agitator in a Pro Line platelet incubator, the motion alarm on the agitator will be suppressed
when the agitator is in communication with the incubator. The incubator generates its own motion alarm, based on its own alarm
delay period. If the agitation motion alarm switch is enabled, the motion alarm on the platelet agitator will sound only if motion has
stopped and communication to the incubator has been lost.

Notes

• Helmer recommends the motion alarm ON/OFF switch remain in the ON position.

• Motion information is transmitted through the data cable to the platelet incubator, even when the agitator motion alarm
is disabled.

• The platelet incubator interprets the motion information and generates its own motion alarm, based on its own alarm

delay period.

• Once the agitator has been connected to the incubator, communication will be interrupted, and the incubator will alarm,
if the agitator power switch is turned OFF.

• 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 become active (audible and visual)
if the agitator alarm switch is turned ON.

7.3 Motion Alarm Controls

LED

Motion alarm switch. Alarm volume and delay controls

When platelet agitator motion stops the motion alarm is activated. The alarm condition is communicated as follows:

♦ Red alarm LED on motion alarm switch ashes.
♦ Through a dry (no voltage) connection to an external monitoring device (if connected).
♦ Through a 9V, 100mA connection to an external monitoring device (if connected).
♦ Through a data cable to the Pro Line Platelet incubator causing an alarm condition to appear on the display and an audible

alarm to sound.
