Agilent 1200 Series Autosampler Reference Manual 89
Troubleshooting and Test Functions 3
Park Arm (Park Gripper)
In order to prevent mechanical damage to the transport mechanism during
transport, the gripper arm should be moved into the park position. The park
arm function moves the gripper and transport slider to the home position
behind the sampling unit, and lowers the gripper arm into the park position
where the transport assembly is secured against a mechanical stop. The
autosampler can be switched OFF after parking the arm.
User Interface
In the ChemStation the Park Arm command is part of the ALS maintenance
positions that can be selected from the Maintenance menu in the Diagnosis
display. In the Control Module the Park Gripper command is located in the
Control display of the autosampler.
The commands for the ChemStation and Control Module (different names for
commands in the Control Module are shown in brackets) are:
Park Arm (Park Gripper)
moves the gripper arm to the park position.

Using the Park Arm Function
1 Select “Park Arm” (“Park Gripper”).
2 When the arm is in the park position, the autosampler is ready for
shipment, and can be switched OFF.
CAUTION
Before transporting or shipping the autosampler, always secure the arm in the park
position.
NOTE
Before parking the gripper arm, ensure there is no vial in the gripper. Use the “Release
Gripper” function to remove the vial.
