during Operation
This section explains the procedure to be followed
when a power outage occurs during operation, as well as
the operating procedure to be carried out to reset the
system after restoration of power.
Upon Power Outage during Operation
If a power outage occurs during operation, take the
necessary action by following the procedure below. In the
event of a power outage, even after the power is restored,
the operation cannot be resumed from the step the system
was performing immediately before the power outage.
1. Press the “” side of the power switch to turn off the
power, in order to prevent the system from moving
suddenly upon restoration of power.
2. After the power has been turned off, open all doors
and covers and take appropriate actions.
• Place the slides not yet coverslipped back in the
solvent, in order to prevent them from drying up.
• Remove the cover glasses that have been picked
up and dropped around the transfer arm, if any.
• Remove the receiving rack currently in the
receiving position, if any.
3. Close all doors and covers, and wait for the power to
restore.
Upon Restoration of Power
After the power has been restored, perform the reset
operation by following the procedure below:
1. Press the “|” side of the power switch to turn on the
power.
2. Once the power is supplied, the operator action
screen appears on the control panel to notify that a
power outage had occurred.
3. After confirming that no slides remain inside the
system, press the EXIT key on the control panel to
return to the initial screen.
4. After confirming that the LOAD lamp on the right side
of the control panel is on, open the loading station
access door, place baskets in the loading station, and
then start the operation from the beginning.
CAUTION: The operator action screen notifying the
occurrence of power outage also appears after a
momentary power failure. In this case, also turn off the
system power, remove the half-processed slides and
basket, and then start the operation from the
beginning.
