Introduction
The Alignment option contains procedures for alignment for the IMMAGE 800.
Alignment procedures are performed on hardware components classified into different
Functional Areas.
The instrument status must be in
Standby
in order to proceed with the alignments
described below.
Functional Area
There are 11 hardware components on the IMMAGE 800 that require alignment. The
operator can perform alignments on the Sample and Reagent Probes, and the Optics
Functional Areas.
The alignment procedures described below will adjust the following:
• Straightness of the Sample and Reagent Probe
• Sample Crane Probe Height/Depth
• Reagent Crane Probe Height/Depth
• Optics
• Wash Head - Automatic Depth Alignment
Prerequisite Alignment Steps
Prerequisite steps are noted on the IMMAGE 800 alignment screens as Step 1 for each
alignment procedure. These prerequisites are required when aligning a new system or
realigning an entire system. The prerequisites can be ignored when performing an
alignment of a specific functional area.
NOTICE
Alignment procedures for all other Functional Area require assistance from Beckman
Coulter Service personnel. Contact Beckman Coulter Clinical Support or a local
Beckman Coulter Field Service office for assistance.
