3.3.1 SILENCE ALARM Key
The SILENCE ALARM key is located at the top right of the Keypad/LCD Display
module. When pressed, it turns off the audible alarm for the current "alert"
alarm. It does not silence "door open" type audible alarms. (See Section 3.7—
Audible Tones and Alerts, for an explanation of alarm types and tones.)
3.3.2 HOME ROTOR Key
The HOME ROTOR key is located on the right side of the Keypad/LCD Display
module, below the SILENCE ALARM key. When pressed, it causes the rotor in
the instrument to return to the"home" position, with the temperature standard
bottles in the 12:00 position. The HOME ROTOR key is active only when the
instrument door is closed and the rotor is in motion.
It is not necessary to home the rotor prior to opening the door. However, you
may find it easier to locate vial stations when the rotor is homed, since the
rotor's position then corresponds to the representation in the display.
Note that if vial testing is in progress when the HOME ROTOR key is pressed,
those test results are discarded.
