The Agilent G2615A Bar Code Reader (BCR) attaches to the tray 
of a 7683 Automatic Sampler. It reads labels attached to sample 
vials for positive sample identification.

The reader attaches directly to the 7683 tray. A provided 
spacer may be required to attach some trays.

The G2615A Bar Code Reader is not compatible with trays 
for 18596A, 18596B or 18596C samplers.

The 7683 tray must be delivered from Agilent with A.01.04 or 
greater firmware. Field upgrade to A.01.04 or greater is not 
adequate.

You can verify your tray firmware using the 6890N keypad and 
display. Select 

Options/Diagnostics/Instrument status

. Scroll 

to observe what firmware is installed on the G2614A tray. 
6890A and 6890 Plus GCs will not display the tray firmware. 
Contact your local Agilent office for assistance.
