Operating Wallac 1420

Starting operation and using a protocol number barcode
This configuration makes best use of the stackers; operation is automatic.
1. Load the stackers. The button light will be blinking.
Light is blinking
2. Click the button briefly.
One by one all the plates will be loaded and measured. If a plate has a barcode, then it will
be measured using the protocol specified by the barcode. If it has no barcode, it will be
measured using the protocol specified by the previously read barcode.
3. Only when the input stacker is empty will operation stop. The button light will be
blinking. Remove the stackers and load new ones if required.
4. Click the button briefly to start operation again.
Caution Do not put your fingers into the sample loading area. In the stacker
model the loading area is uncovered when the stackers are not in place so you
must avoid the danger of getting your fingers trapped by the plate lift mechanism.
If you need to do something in that area,
switch power off first.
