NOTE: The heaters for Retorts #3 and #4, the paraf-
fin oven, and all associated plumbing remain on to
keep the paraffin in a melted state.
Computer (Controller)
• The computer switches to “sleep mode” after
completing all reagent drainage.
• The Control Panel display screen powers off.
NOTE: Shutdown cannot occur until all processing
cycles are completed, and all processed baskets or
magazine sets have been removed from the instru-
ment.
Auto Shutdown
The Auto Start / Shutdown feature allows the instru-
ment to be configured to automatically shutdown at a
specified time. When auto shutdown is enabled and the
instrument is idle (no baskets or magazine sets are being
processed), the instrument enters the Shutdown cycle at a
specified time.
When the Auto Start / Shutdown feature is enabled, the
Auto Start / Shutdown indicator on the User Interface is
illuminated at all times that power is applied to the instrument
(see “Control Panel (Figure 1-O)” on page 1.12 for details).
NOTE: If it is necessary to shutdown the instrument prior
to its programmed shutdown time, use the “Manual
Shutdown” procedure to manually shutdown the instru-
ment. Shutting down the instrument manually will not
affect the auto start cycle for the next day, and auto start
will occur at its next scheduled start time.
Manual Shutdown
NOTE: The user must be logged on to the instrument to
perform a manual shutdown (see “Logging On” on page
4.4 for details).
To perform a manual shutdown of the instrument:
1. From the Process Monitor screen, touch the
UTILITIES button.
• The UTILITIES screen displays.
2. Touch the SHUTDOWN button.
• A confirmation dialog displays the message “ARE
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SHUT DOWN?”
(Figure 4-Q).
Figure 4-Q
3. Touch the YES button to initiate a shutdown of the
instrument.
• The SHUTDOWN screen displays, showing the
status of the reagent draining process (Figure 4-R).
NOTE: The reagent draining process takes approxi-
mately four minutes to complete.
