3. Load the racks with the sample tubes and slide the loaded racks onto the rack carrier.
CAUTION
You must have a unique barcode label on each rack to avoid universal rack
handler user errors.
If you use the same sample rack on the rack handler and on an
ADVIA Centaur system with the same ID labels but different series numbers
(2, 3, 4), the rack handler reads the barcodes as duplicate rack IDs. This can
cause software errors.
4. Load racks onto the carrier.
5. Lift the carrier by the handle and place it on the infeed tray
6. Push the Start/Pause switch to start the rack handler.
CAUTION
Do not push the carriers back into the outfeed buffer if for any reason you must
remove the carriers manually from the system.
When the top cover is raised and the infeed pusher arm is in the up position,
avoid injury by bending over and coming into contact with the pusher arm.
7. For continuous loading of new rack carriers, push the Start/Pause switch and hold it
for ten seconds until the rack handler status display reads Continuous feed.
When the barcode reads a label, the corresponding sample indicator turns green.
The sample indicator turns red if the sample tube is detected, but the barcode label cannot
be read. If the sample tube is not detected, the sample indicator will not glow green or red.
