3.4 Drawer Handles
3.4.1 Location
The drawers are designed to be grasped by handles to the right and left of the mullion, where the
system indicator lights are projected.
See Figure 3-1 for drawer handle locations.
When a drawer is opened, agitation of all rows in the open drawer ceases immediately, and any
measurements in progress are aborted.
3.4.2 Operation
Grasp the drawer handle and pull the drawer out completely.
When closing a drawer, be sure you push it completely closed and the drawer locks closed. A tone
confirms the drawer closing.
Avoid opening the drawer unnecessarily. Drawers should not remain open longer than 10 minutes.
If a drawer remains open longer than 10 minutes, a tone sounds. You may acknowledge the alert
message or close the drawer to silence this tone. If a drawer is slightly ajar, a loud continuous tone
sounds to alert you to the condition. This tone continues until the drawer is fully opened or fully closed.
3.5 Barcode Scanner
3.5.1 Location
Each instrument (Top/Single and Bottom) has its own barcode scanner.
The Top (Single) instrument's barcode scanner is on the front of the instrument, at the bottom center of
the mullion.
The Bottom instrument's barcode scanner is on the front of the instrument, near the top center of the
mullion.
See Figure 3-1 for barcode scanner locations. Figure 3-4 shows a barcode scanner turned on.
3.5.2 Operation
The scanner turns on when the instrument is ready to read a barcode. To scan a barcode, place the
vial in the recessed area below the scanner. If necessary, slowly turn the vial until the acknowledgment
beep sounds (indicating that the barcode was scanned successfully).
NOTE
Accepted barcode symbologies include Code 128, Codabar,
Code 39, and Interleaved 2 of 5.
