Troubleshooting and Test Functions 3
Tray Alignment
Tray alignment is required to compensate for small deviations in positioning
of the gripper which may occur after disassembling the module for repair.
The tray alignment procedure uses several tray positions as reference points.
Because the tray is a rectangle, a two-point alignment is sufficient to corrects
all other vial positions within the tray. On completion of the procedure, the
corrected gripper positions are stored in the instrument firmware.
User Interface
In the Control Module the “
Align Tray
” function is located in the Control display
of the autosampler.
Additional information can be found in the on-line information systems.
The correct procedure for the Control Module are:
1
Set alignment to factory default:
• Go to Align > Tray and press Default .
• Go to Align > Transport and press Default .
N O T E
The alignment procedure requires an Agilent 1200 Series Control Module G1323B with
firmware revision B.02.02 or higher. The screen with the alignment dialog box can be found
under the menus Views > System > Tests > Autosampler. The alignment procedure must
be done with the standard 100-position vial tray installed.
WA R N I N G
The alignment procedure has to be performed in the correct order and without
skipping parts, to ensure a proper working Autosampler.
