HEATER-SHAKER MODULE GEN1 10
Flex Attachment Steps
To attach the Heater-Shaker to your Flex:
1. Choose the supported slot you want to use for the module. Use the
2.5 mm screwdriver to remove the deck slot plate.
2. Insert the Heater-Shaker into its caddy by aligning the power
button on the module with the on/off switch on the caddy.
3. Holding the module in the caddy, use the T10 Torx screwdriver to
turn the anchor screws clockwise and extend the anchors. The
module is secure when it doesn’t move while gently pulling on it
and rocking it from side to side.
4. Connect the power and USB cables to the module.
5. Insert the caddy into the deck slot and route the power and USB
cables through the removable side covers of the Flex. Do not
connect the power cable to a wall outlet yet.
6. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on the Flex.
7. Connect the power cable to a wall outlet. Gently press the on/off
switch to turn the module on.
8. If you successfully connected the module, it will appear in the
Pipettes and Modules section on your robot’s device detail page
in the Opentrons App. From there, you can control the module’s
labware latch or run a test shake.
Tip: If you’re trying to force a Heater-Shaker into a caddy,
the module’s power button is probably facing away from
the caddy’s on/off switch. Turn the module so the power
button faces the on/off switch and try again.
