Installing the Sample Shuttle
NOTE: Before installing the sample shuttle, inspect the base of the sample compartment for
sample leaks or dirt. If required, wipe the sample compartment and shuttle clean
with a damp cloth and a suitable detergent or degreasant to remove dust and oil.
Ensure that you wear appropriate protective gloves when handling fluid lines that may
contain harmful materials.
To return the sample shuttle to the sample compartment:
1. Position the sample shuttle accessory on the ledge in the sample compartment and slide
it into position.
Push it firmly home to ensure that the multi-way connector on the rear of the sample
shuttle accessory mates properly with the spectrometer connector. The shuttle should
“click” into place.
2. If required, push the spectrometer and FCM mounting system back against the
autosampler so that the pins on the mounting system fit into the buffers on the side of
the autosampler.
3. Reconnect the tubing from the flow cell to the FCM and injection station, in the reverse
order to the procedure described above.
4. Reconnect the power cable to the sample shuttle.
5. Reconnect the liquid presence sensor to the rear of the FCM.
6. Connect the spectrometer and FCM to the mains power.
When the sample shuttle is connected to mains power, it will initialize itself (where the
shuttle moves from the “in” to the “out” position several times).
