Priority Load Button
Typically, rack placement and removal is under microprocessor control. The operator
may choose to use the reserved positions by pressing the PRIORITY LOAD button
and placing the priority rack in the space provided by the system. (Refer to
Figure 2.4 .)
The rack will load 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 2.4 .)
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. (Refer to
Figure 2.4 .)
Shuttle
The Shuttle moves the rack from the gate area onto the Sample Carousel. (Refer to
Figure 2.4 .)
Bar Code Reader (Sample)
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 " Symbols and Labels " in CHAPTER 1, General Information, for a description
of the CAUTION labels for the bar code reader.
CAUTION
Do not tamper with or remove the housing of the Sample Bar Code Reader.
