System Configuration
Install the Fixed Platform
1. Align the 2 grooves on the bottom of the fixed platform with the arms
extending forward from the analyzer.
The flanges on the sides of the holddown plate align just outside the read
area cover. The top edge of the platform aligns just under the cover.
2. Gently push the platform in as far as possible.
Push past the ridge to correctly position the platform.
During the initial installation, you may need to use firm pressure to push the
platform the final 1.3 cm (0.5 in). The platform must be seated, and not
even slightly crooked or the strips may jam as they are pushed along the
platform.

Do not force the platform. Ensure that the moving table is correctly
positioned before you attempt to reinstall the fixed platform. If you
force the platform, you may damage the moving table or fixed
platform.
