Please observe the following precautions when determining where to locate the ATP-71:• The ATP-71 is for indoor use only.• Choose a cool, dry location that is conductive to the storage of medication.• Choose a location in close proximity to the intended power outlet; the outlet must remain

accessible in the event the device must be unplugged in an emergency.• Avoid direct sunlight.• Avoid dusty locations.• Ensure that the floor surface is level, stable, and even.• Avoid damp locations.• Avoid extremely dry locations.• Do not install the ATP-71 near water pipes or sinks.• Do not install the ATP-71 near heaters, stoves, or other sources of heat.• Avoid installing near sources of magnetic fields.• Do not install near televisions or radios.• Leave a space of at least four inches (10 centimeters) between the back of the ATP-71 cabinet

and the wall behind it, to allow proper operation of the ATP-71’s cooling fan.• Install in an environment where temperatures will range between 59 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit

(15 - 28 degrees Centigrade), with a relative humidity between 20 - 70%.

The ATP-71 cabinet should be positioned as shown in Figure 1-3.

The cabinet should be placed on a sturdy, level surface such as a counter or table, within 10 centimeters (3.9 inches) of the wall.Please allow at least 65 centimeters (25 inches) of space in front of the cabinet so the doors may be opened freely. Cabinets cannot be stacked.

The ATP-71 must be secured in one of three ways:• To the stand• To a counter• To a concrete wall

1. Securing to the standTo secure the ATP-71 to the accessory stand, do the following:1. Using appropriate equipment, place the ATP-71 device on top of the stand so that all doors are facing toward the front of the device.

2. Locate the hardware supplied with the stand. Remove the small black pads and hex bolts from their packaging.3. Slide the pads into the slots provided on the bottom of the ATP-71, as shown in Figure 1-4.4. Open the doors of the stand and place the hex bolts through the holes provided in the top of the stand through into the parallel holes on the bottom of the ATP-71, as shown in Figure 1-4.

8. When you are done, move the ATP-71 and stand into operating position.9. Level the device by adjusting the four leveling feet on the bottom of the stand to raise and lower each corner as needed.

2. Securing to a counterIf you will be using the ATP-71 on a counter that is not adjacent to a concrete wall to which you can secure the device, you will need to secure the device to the counter, as follows.

Note:The ATP-71 device should be secured on a counter top that is thicker than 1.25 inches. The screw should be longer than 1/2 inch and its head diameter should be larger than the 8 mm hole in the mounting bracket.

After unpacking the ATP-71 device and locating where it will be positioned in the pharmacy, attach the mounting brackets as follows.1. Using the screws packaged with the mounting brackets, secure the brackets to the rear of the ATP-71 cabinet with a Phillips-head screwdriver, as shown in Figure 1-6.

Figure 1-6 Securing mounting brackets to the ATP-71

CAUTION!When securing the cabinet to the counter, be sure to use mounting bolts which are appropriate to the material to which you are attaching the bracket. The bolt holes in the mounting brackets are 8 mm in diameter.

INSTALLATION

2. Once the mounting brackets have been secured to the cabinet and the cabinet is positioned in its final location on the counter, use an electric drill to drill a pilot hole through the mounting hole in the bracket into the counter top, as shown in Figure 1-7

Figure 1-7 Drilling a pilot hole in the counter top

3. After drilling the pilot hole, screw the mounting bracket to the counter using a bolt that is appropriate for the counter top material, as shown in Figure 1-8.

CAUTION!Ensure that the floor surface and any walls used for anchoring are strong enough to support the weight of the ATP-71.

INSTALLATION 3. Securing to a wallIf desired, the cabinet can be secured to a concrete wall using the mounting brackets on the rear of the cabinet, instead of using the cabinet stand.To use the mounting brackets, do the following:

1. Slip the anchor wire supplied with the device through the brackets on the rear of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 1-9.

Warnings

• This system cannot do the job of a registered pharmacist. An appropriate quality checking system should be used to ensure dispensing accuracy.• Use only parts and supplies approved by Parata. Parata is never responsible for any qualityproblems resulting from parts and/or supplies not approved by Parata.• Do not use the ATP-71 system outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if the system is exposed to water.• Only qualified service personnel should install and service the ATP-71 system. Installation and serviceby unqualified personnel may result in shock or fire.• Never locate the ATP-71 system in a humid place or a place where it is likely to be splashed by water. Humidity may cause the insulation to deteriorate, causing current leakage and possible electric shock.• Use a power source rated for a minimum of 15A. Ensure that both the plug and the outlet are free ofdust. Do not use a branched outlet, as this may result in an increased risk of fire.• In the event of operational problems, disconnect the ATP-71 from its power source until it can be serviced by qualified personnel.• Always disconnect the ATP-71 from its power source prior to performing any maintenance or repairservice to prevent serious injury or death.• Use a power supply grounded to earth ground.• Never disassemble, repair, or modify the ATP-71 system. Unauthorized modifications may result in serious injury or death.• Never ground the ATP-71 system to a gas pipe, water main, telephone line, or lightening rod. Suchgrounding may cause serious injury or death in the event that an incomplete circuit is formed.• Do not insert metal objects into any vent, gap. Or outlet outside or inside the ATP-71 cabinet, as this may cause serious injury or death.• Never insert fingers or objects into the package output port, as this may cause serious injury duringsystem operation.• Never touch the gold-colored heater blocks inside the ATP-71 packaging drawer, regardless of whether the system is off-line or on-line. See Figure 1-19 for location of heater blocks.

General Warnings and Cautions

CAUTION!Failure to observe these and any other cautions contained in this manual may result in injury to personnel or damage to the ATP-71 and associated property.

INSTALLATION

18

• Never touch the blade or heater block in the heat sealer when replacing the paper roll or cleaning the system.• Use ATP-71 tablet cassettes only with their designated medication.• Be sure to verify that your are using the correct medication when refilling cassettes.• Never touch electrical components or switches with wet hands, as this may result in serious injury or death.

Cautions

• Select a level and sturdy floor surface for the ATP-71, and use an appropriate anti-tipping device.• Do not open multiple drawers at the same time, as this may cause the ATP-71 to top forward.• When unplugging the ATP-71 from its power source, grip the plug, not the cord. Pulling the power cord may result in electric shock or fire caused by a short circuit.• Always disconnect the power cord from its power source before moving the system, and take care not todamage the power cord.• Disconnect the power cord from its power source if the system will be unused for long periods of time.• Do not place heavy objects on top of the ATP-71 cabinet.• Do not place containers of water on top of the ATP-71 cabinet.• Do not stand or sit on the top of the ATP-71 cabinet.• Do not lean on the ATP-71 cabinet when any of the drawers are open.• Take care when cleaning the interior of the ATP-71 not to inhale pill dust.• Take care when cleaning the interior of the ATP-71 not to contaminate sensitive machine surfaces with pill dust.• Do not insert fingers or tools into the UTC tray when it is operating.

WARNING!Do not lean on the cassette access door when open, as this may cause the ATP-71 to top forward.

WARNING!Do not open more than one access door at a time, as this may cause the ATP-71 to top forward.

To install ATP-71 cassettes, do the following:

1. Identify the assigned position for each cassette. Drawer/cassette positions are marked on the front of each drawer in the ATP-71 cabinet and on the top of the cassette.2. Place the cassette into the target position, taking care to ensure that the cassette is securely seated in the cassette drawer.3. If there is no sample of the medication in the cassette lid, place a sample in the lid now. This simplifies refilling.
