Operational Information
Fuse Replacement
Caution:
Replace fuses only with fuses of the specified type and
current ratings.
The power supply fuses are located inside the sealed instrument
power supply, and
are not user serviceable
. If the instrument fails to
power up, and you suspect that a fuse has blown, contact LI-COR
Biosciences or a LI-COR
®
representative. A single 5A fast blow fuse
protecting the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is located on one of the
printed circuit boards (PCB). This fuse is also not user-serviceable.
The Odyssey
®
Imager requires only minimal maintenance. However,
as with any equipment utilizing electrical voltages, there is a danger
of fire or electrical shock if the equipment is not properly maintained.
LI-COR Biosciences recommends that you routinely inspect the
system and the scanning surface. The following are some general
maintenance guidelines:
•
Wipe all chemical spills from the case and/or scanning surface to prevent
damage to the surface coating.
•
Inspect all cables and power cords for evidence of fraying, exposed wire,
or loose connections.
•
Keep the scanning surface free of organic solvents and other combustibles.
•
Clean the exterior case parts with warm water and a damp cloth. The
exterior case parts are painted with a durable urethane coating that is
resistant to chemical spills. Do not use scouring compounds, solvents such
as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachlorides, lacquer thinner, or alcohol to
clean the case.
