5. Description of the Sediplus® Data Manager
The Sediplus® Data Manager is an extremely practical addition to Sediplus® devices. With the aid of
the Sediplus® Data Manager it is possible to send the measurement protocols of the Sediplus® S 100,
S 200 and S 2000 devices to a local printer in addition to the laboratory data processing. The
conversion of the serial to parallel data is undertaken by a microcontroller inside the Sediplus® DataManager. This also regulates the data flow to the laboratory EDP and to the printer. A high degreeof data safety is achieved by the double issue of data, once to the laboratory EDP and once to theprinter.

Commissioning
Caution before initial commissioning!
• Check existing supply voltage and the supply voltage indicated for compliance.
• Pay attention to admissible ambient conditions for the device.
• During cold periods wait for approximately ½ to ¾ hour following delivery andunpacking for the device to reach room temperature (18 °C to 23 °C).
The device is operational once it has been connected to the supply voltage.
If the Status LED lights up in green, continue with the data transfer test (point D).
If the Status LED lights up in red, the following course of action is advisable:

D. Data transfer test
Set the data transfer priority to the preferred selection again.
(Refer to Page 10)
Perform the measurements.
The transfer of measurement values from the Sediplus device only takes place once a
reduction has been completed. Depending on the setting this can take one or twohours. The Sediplus devices are also, however, equipped with a test mode whereby atest reduction can be completed within a few minutes.
Set the test mode
The Sediplus device may not routinely be used in this mode. The laboratory
EDP attendant must be informed that test data which are received during thelaboratory EDP must not be evaluated!
S2000:
Switch the S2000 on with the ESC button held down.
Then press Button 3 (for performance a test reduction).
To commence the reductions place one or more test pipettes in free measuring stations andfollow the instructions on the display.
After 4 minutes the measurement results will be transferred.
The transfer of these protocols (from completed but still equipped stations) may be repeatedas often as wished by simultaneous pressing of the upwards arrow (i) and the downwards
arrow (j). Confirm each with the IDENT button.
S100/S200:
With the device switched on, simultaneously press the RESET button at the back of the
housing and “1” on the keyboard.
Keeping the “1” pressed down, release the RESET button.
“d” appears in the display.
Equip the device with (test) Sedivette or Monovette.
After 2 minutes the measurement results will be transferred.
Simply switch the devices off and back on to access the normal mode again.

7. Operation
No operating procedures are required during operation.
The operational readiness of the Sediplus® Data Manager can be detected by means of the twocolour status LED.

will only become visible during the printing of further data or by triggering amanual line or page feed.
A laser printer only prints out a page when it is full. In this case that meansthat measurement results are only visible after the printing out of several data
records or by triggering a manual page feed.
