Bar Code Reader
An optional Barcode Reader for microplate identification is mounted above the
lift. Stacker shelf positions can be altered to hold 11 Half-heights or 7 Deep Well
plates. However, this must be carried out by a trained System Integrator.
The Barcodes must be placed on the shorter side of the plates and must face
towards the open side of the stacker. The barcodes should be parallel to the
plate’s lower edge. The barcode label should be centered both vertically and
horizontally. On higher plates (e.g. deep well plates) place the barcode further
down. Preferably barcode labels should be at the same height independent of
the plate height. Make sure the barcode is not covered by the plate’s lid.
WARNING !
Laser Class 2. Laser light - do not look into the beam.
DANGER !
May be harmful to your eyes.
Use barcode testing device to verify barcode quality. Quality Class A, B or C are
required. Identification of Class D is not guaranteed. For sufficient print quality
use barcodes printed by thermal - transfer or photographic methods. The
barcode label surface should to be mat and clean. Do not use yellowed, dirty or
damaged barcodes

The Robot Gate
The Robot Gate is located on the rear side of the instrument. Through the Robot
Gate the storage samples are transported by the Handler. The Robot Gate has
the same sealing system as the Front Door. Because of the frequent accessing
through the Gate, special care must be taken with the sealing performance of the
Gate.
The Gate may make spontaneous movements. External commands, manual
interaction and internal protection time-out functions may cause the Gate to
close. Special care must be taken that the Gate cannot be accessed during
operation.
WARNING !
Remote Accesses have priority over manual accesses
The integrator has to make sure that no remote access is initiated during a
manual access (Always check Ready Bit prior to sending a command)
The Gate movement is speed and force controlled. However, the high demands
on the sealing capability of the Gate require certain minimum forces, therefore
there is a risk of injury. Never put hands into the Gate opening when the
instrument is active.
WARNING !
The Gate cannot be opened manually. Do not apply force to Gate.
