Initial Power Up
1 Make sure there are no obstructions inside the sample tray area of the Agilent
850-DS
2 Make sure the door is fully closed.
3 Turn on power using the front panel power switch. The unit will execute a self
test and initialization.
4 Verify the unit passed the initialization and is at the Main screen.
Sample Tray Installation
1 From the 850-DS main screen, press Eject to eject the sample tray platform.
The sample tray platform moves to the front of the 850-DS. The movement
forward will pause and the unit will beep to alert the user that the tray platform
will extend outside the unit.
2 Load the 12 x 8 sample tray (for 16 x 100 mm test tubes) onto the platform.
3 Press Eject. The sample tray platform retracts the sample tray to the home
position in the 850-DS.
Before operating the Agilent 850-DS, a sample collection tray with
suitable test tubes, vials or well plates must be inserted. Failure to
do so may cause liquids to be pumped into the base of the unit.
