Loading the MLM
To install the MLM:
1
Open the LS 13 320 door to load the sample cell by undocking the auto-docking tray. Press the
OPEN
button on the instrument and the sliding door moves to the left. When it is open, press
the
EJECT MODULE
button to extend the tray toward the user.
2
In the auto-dock tray, you will notice stainless steel pins extending into the center tray area
both at the back of the tray and in the front of the tray. These pins fit into slots on the MLM. The
back pins prevent the module from tipping out and the forward pins secure the module in the
tray.
3
Hold the MLM by the top with one hand and on the bottom with the other hand. Place it in the
auto-dock tray by tipping the Sample Cell to the rear at an approximately 30 degree angle into
the auto-dock tray. This is done to clear the forward pins and engage the back pins first.
4
When these pins have engaged into the slots on the back of the MLM, tip the Sample Cell up to
its vertical position. The MLM should now be resting on the auto-dock tray.
5
Press the
EJECT MODULE
button and the MLM will be drawn into the LS 13 320.
