lowered by the same distance. If the crucible knocks on the pedestal and the
arm turns up from the horizontal position, the crucibles platform has to be
lifted higher. For moving the platform up and down, loose the screws (1) and
(2) see image autoloader front view. Loose the nut (6) of the foot (7) and turn
the foot by inserting a thin screwdriver or a piece of wire into the hole of the
foot (7). Turn clockwise to lower the platform with the crucible, turn counter
clockwise to move the platform higher. Fix the nut (6) and the screws (1) and
(2).

1.17 Repeating the single step cycle
The next pressing of the adjust button will start the next cycle i.e. the arm will go to
position 1 again. It is advisable to make a couple of cycles with single step to make
sure that the mechanical adjustments described before, are accurate, if not
readjust.
1.18 Non stop cycles
In some cases the automatic repetition of complete cycles is required. For example
in case of a continuous test of the loader by placing 130 empty crucibles for the
loader to run 130 cycles in unattended operation. Also at exhibitions the nonstop
mode without combustion is required. This is obtained by keeping the switch
pressed already before switching on the power, and by keeping it pressed as long
as the cycles have to run.
To do this:
–
Place 130 empty crucibles on the loader (or any other required quantity of
crucibles) starting from the left front tray (1) continuing to the left (crucibles 2,
3, 4 etc.) See figure loader steps.
– In order to avoid the need of continuous manual pressing of the button, it
can be mechanically fixed in pressed position before switching on the
analyzer, by mechanically fixing of the button (5) using a rubber ring, see
figure pneumatic connections.
– The analyzer is switched from position 0 to position 1 of the mains power
switch.
– After the last crucible is taken from the platform, the loader will turn the chain
for a while, looking for any more crucibles. If no crucible is found, the chain will
stop turning. The loader electronics will signalize the missing crucibles by triple
beeping. See error messages.
1.19 Error messages
The loader electronic board contains a buzzer for signalizing errors. The number of
beeps in a row specifies the problem according to the table below.
No. of
beeps Error description
1 The beam of the vertical laser cannot be detected. Defective laser or
detector, dirt in between, arm in between.
2 The beam of the vertical laser is continuously detected. Error of the
finger´s motor.
3 No crucible on the loader although the loader received the command
to load the next crucible.
