Sample Loader
Sample Loader Description
Section 13
Reset Loader
The [RESET LOADER] key should be used to activate the Sample Loader under the
following conditions:
1. When the [STOP LOADER] key was pressed and the rack under the Tower was
subsequently moved
2. When a Sample Loader fault occurred that required re-initializing the loader.
If the rack must be moved for any reason, it should be completely removed and
placed in the starting position on the load side (or a new rack must be in the starting
position). If the Sample Loader must be re-initialized after a fault, the Tower must
be cleared and all racks placed on the load side. The [RESET LOADER] key re-
initializes the Sample Loader before activating the loader transport mechanism.
NOTE: If a rack is still under the Tower and the [RESET LOADER] key is pressed,
a Fault condition will occur.
Return
The [RETURN] key on the RUN screen submenu returns the operator to the main RUN
screen with the [START LOADER] key in the first position.
Fault Conditions
On the SL model, there are two sources of fault conditions: Instrument-related
faults (Data Module or Analyzer) and Sample Loader-only faults.
Data Module/Analyzer Faults
Faults related to the Data Module or Analyzer may be either operator-correctable
or fatal.
If the fault is operator-correctable, when [START LOADER] is pressed the RESTART
menu is displayed with the choice of either resuming or resetting the sample loader.
In the case of fatal faults, the entire system must be re-initialized or rebooted. Any
rack under the Tower must be removed and placed in the starting position on the
load side.
Sample Loader Faults - Reset Loader
When a fault occurs in the Closed Mode, the [CLEAR FAULT] key replaces the [STOP
LOADER] key. Some Sample Loader-only faults require the Sample Loader to be re-
initialized. In this case, when the operator presses the [CLEAR FAULT] key followed
by [START LOADER], a submenu is displayed showing only the [RESET LOADER]
and [RETURN] keys. The [RESUME LOADER] key is not displayed because any rack
under the Tower must be removed and placed in the starting position on the Load
side. Refer to Restarting the Loader for a discussion on using the RESET key.
