System Description
Sample Handling System
Priority Load Button
Typically, rack placement and removal is under microprocessor control. The operator may use the
reserved positions in the sample carousel by pressing the PRIORITY LOAD button and placing the
priority rack in the space provided by the system. The rack loads into one of the reserved positions
on the Sample Carousel.
PRIORITY LOAD only prioritizes the loading of the rack. It does not alter the sample priority (STAT
or routine) previously designated in Sample Programming.
Pushers
Pushers collect and move to the Sample Gate any racks loaded onto the system. They are activated
when the RUN button is pressed. Refer to
Figure 1.3 .
Sample Gate
The Sample Gate is the mechanism that moves racks from the load tray to the shuttle during the
load process. It also moves samples from the shuttle to the unload track during the unload process.
Shuttle
The Shuttle moves the rack from the gate area onto the Sample Carousel. Refer to Figure 1.3 .
Bar Code Reader (Sample)
CAUTION
Do not tamper with or remove the housing of the Sample Bar Code Reader.
The Bar Code Reader is a Class II fixed-beam laser scanner. It is used to read the rack bar code, the
sample bar code (if present), and the background bar codes as the rack travels past. The rack bar
code and sample bar code (if present) are used to identify the sample and link it to the appropriate
sample programming.
There are two background bar codes that are used to determine whether a rack position is empty or
occupied, and if occupied, whether the sample is in a cup or tube.
Refer to Documentation Symbols in the Safety Notice section, for a description of the CAUTION
labels for the bar code reader.
