4 Repairing the Autosampler
Introduction into Repairing the Autosampler
Simple Repairs
The autosampler is designed for easy repair. The most frequent repairs such as
change and needle assembly change can be done from the front of the
instrument with the instrument in place in the system stack. These repairs are
described in “Simple Repairs” on page 106.
Exchanging Internal Parts
Some repairs may require exchange of defective internal parts. Exchange of
these parts requires removing the autosampler from the stack, removing the
covers, and disassembling the autosampler.
Safety Flap, Flex Board
It is strongly recommended that the exchange of the safety flap, and flex board
is done by Agilent-trained service personnel.
Transport Assembly Parts
The adjustment of the motors, and the tension on the drive belts are important
for correct operation of the transport assembly (see “Transport Assembly” on
page 139). It is strongly recommended that exchange of drive belts, and the
gripper assembly is done by Agilent-trained service personnel. There are no
other field-replaceable parts in the transport assembly. If any other
component is defective (flex board, spindles, plastic parts) the complete unit
must be exchanged.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, the power cable must be removed from the instrument
before opening the autosampler cover. Do not connect the power cable to the
autosampler while the covers are removed.
