Checking carousel adjustment
WARNING The surfaces of the oven, carousel, and oven lid may be hot and could burn
you. Before you begin, set the oven and loop temperatures to 30°C, swing the
vial transport arm out of the way and open the oven cover. Allow the oven to
cool to a safe temperature. Note that vials may remain hot even if the oven has
cooled.
Check carousel adjustment to help prevent vial handling problems.
1. Turn off the headspace sampler, then turn it back on.
2. During startup, the sampler will reset the carousel position so that
carousel position 1 is directly over the elevator rod and under the oven
port in the cover. If the position is off by a few degrees, as shown below,
you may have intermittent vial handling problems when the vial is pushed
up onto the sampling probe.
