Chapter 1: Cytometer Components 39
Cytometer Electronics
The electronic components consist of power controls and connectors along with
processing boards in the card cage. This section describes only user-adjustable
cytometer electronics. For more information about the electronics, see Signal
Detection on page 50.
Power Panel
Power to the cytometer, lasers, and fluidics cart is supplied by a power cord
plugged directly into a standard electrical outlet. There are no special facilities
requirements. The main power button turns on the cytometer and fluidics cart,
and enables the laser power buttons. To turn on a laser, press the corresponding
button. The button lights up when the power is on.

The cytometer circuit breaker is located next to the fluidics cart power cord
(Figure 1-21). The switch will need to be reset if there is a power surge in the
laboratory.
