Agitator communication switch

Helmer Pro Series platelet agitators can be installed inside Helmer Pro Series platelet incubators. The agitator can be connected 
to the incubator through a data cable. The connection allows the platelet incubator to monitor the platelet agitator motion, and to 
sound an alarm when agitation motion stops. 
Power is supplied to the agitator through the coiled DC power cable. Connect the data cable and DC power cable supplied with the 
incubator prior to placing the agitator inside the incubator. The power cable has a rotating locking feature on each end to ensure a 

secure connection. When installing the agitator inside the incubator, finger tighten each rotating lock. The agitator communication 

switch must be set to position 1 (shown in red for visibility in the picture above) for use in the incubator.

2.6  Storage Configuration

Drawers can be removed or moved to adjust storage space as needed.

CAUTION

To avoid injury and prevent damage to the agitator, ensure both left and right side drawer stop panels are fully installed 
prior to operating the agitator.

 Remove and Replace Drawers

1.  Remove the thumb screws securing the drawer stop panels to the left and right sides of the  

  agitator. (Note the orientation of each panel)

2.  Carefully pull each panel from the agitator and set panels and thumb screws aside.
3. 

Slide the drawer(s) out and remove.

4. 

Reinstall drawer(s) in desired location by aligning the outer edges of the drawer with the slots 

 

 

in the drawer guides and push inward.

5.  Reinstall both drawer stop panels in the same orientation as removed, and secure with thumb  

  screws ensuring they are finger tight.

 

 

 

 Install Label Holders (optional)

1.  Insert the tabs on the label holder into the slots on the drawer.
2.  Pivot the holder around the drawer handle and align the hole on the label holder with the corresponding hole on
