Installing your Analyzer

Place your Alere Afinion AS100 Analyzer on a dry, clean, stable and horizontal surface. Make sure that the Analyzer is
located with sufficient surrounding airspace, at least 10 cm on each side. Acclimate the Analyzer to ambient operating
temperature (15-32°C) before use.
The Analyzer might be impaired by:
• Condensing humidity and water
• Heat and large temperature variations
• Direct sunlight
Use of this instrument in a dry environment, especially if synthetic materials are present (synthetic clothing, carpets etc.)
may cause electrostatic discharge.

Connecting power supply

- Connect the power cable to the power cord adapter.
- Insert the plug from the power cord adapter into the power socket (Figure 3) in the back of the Analyzer.
- Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet.
Only use the power supply and cable supplied with Alere Afinion AS100 analyzer. Any other power supplies or cables can
damage the analyzer and may cause possible hazards.

Connecting additional equipment
