7.3.2
Referencing the Door's Lock
When the door is locked or unlocked for the first time after the chamber is connected to
power, the door's locking mechanism must perform an initial referencing procedure.
To reference the lock, if the door is open
If the door is
unlocked and open
during power-off, the door-locking latches (labeled
) are in their upper default position, which requires the following refer-
encing procedure:
1. Close the door manually.
2. Gently
hold the door closed
during the referencing procedure.
If, for example, the chamber is not standing on a perfectly level surface, the door
can open slightly. This movement can interrupt the interlock, which prevents com-
pletion of the referencing procedure.
3. Push the "LOCK / UNLOCK" button.
The latches move upward a few millimeters, to locate their referenced top position.
After locating this position, the latches move down to lock the door.
4.
Wait
to finish before operating the door-locking mechanism again.
Referencing is finished when you can no longer hear the door mechanism moving.
To reference the lock, if the door is closed
If the door is
closed and locked
during power-off, the door-locking latches are in a
lower position, which requires the following referencing procedure:
1. Push the "LOCK / UNLOCK" button.
The latches slowly move upward to their top position. During this movement, the
mechanism unlocks the door. After locating their referenced top position, the
latches move down a few millimeters to their default open position, without locking
the door.
2.
Wait
to finish before operating the door-locking mechanism again.
Referencing is finished when you can no longer hear the door mechanism moving.
