Figure B-13 Luminex 100 Analyzer Regulator Adjustment

6. From the Home or Maintenance tab, select Prime. During this

prime cycle, use a screwdriver to adjust the regulator on the front
of the Luminex SD system. See Figure B-13. Adjust it until the
sheath pressure displayed on the Diagnostic tab, System Monitor
section, reads the same as the sheath pressure you recorded in
step 4. The system should stabilize at this sheath pressure. The
air pressure should be the same as you recorded in step 4, within
0.1 psi.

If the Prime cycle ends before you have completed the
adjustment, select Prime again and continue to adjust the
regulator.

7. Calibrate the system again. Observe the sheath pressure

displayed on the Diagnostic tab, System Monitor section, during
the calibration cycle. The pressure should be within 0.1 psi of the
pressure recorded in Step 4.

Follow up with installing the heater block (below), if necessary.
