DNA Engine Dyad Operations Manual
•
Connect the multi-pin power cable’s female end to the connector labeled “Power Port”
and slide the latch to lock the pins in place.
•
Attach the data cable’s “DOCK DATA” end to the connector labeled “Data Port” and
slide the latch to lock the pins in place.
•
Turn both units back over.
•
The dock connector mounts in the base in the same manner as a regular Alpha unit (see
“Operating Alpha Units” in Chapter 4).
•
Attach the wall-plug power cord to the fan power supply.
•
Attach the fan power supply’s round jack to either of the round connectors on the back of
the Remote Dock (fig. 11-4).
•
The fan power supply produces sufficient current such that up to three additional fans can
be “daisy chained” to the initial Remote Alpha Dock unit via the round-jack power cords
supplied. Attach one end of the cord to the initial unit’s free round connector. Attach the
other end to either of the round connectors on the back of the next Remote Alpha Dock
unit in the series, and so on (fig. 11-4).
•
When the Remote Alpha Dock system has been completely set up, connect the fan power
supply’s wall plug to a power source.
Operation
The Remote Alpha Dock system is transparent to the base unit; i.e., the dock connector
allows the base to control the Alpha unit in the Remote Alpha Dock base as if it were in the
standard configuration.
IMPORTANT:
11-8
Turn the base unit’s power off when changing the type of sample block
you are using. Turning the power off resets the base, allowing it to recognize the new block. If not reset, the base unit assumes that the previous
type of block is installed, resulting in error messages and procedural
faults.
