Overview
Overview
The calibration procedures described in this
chapter are critical to proper operation of the
Autosampler CE.
In order for the Autosampler CE to accurately
pick up, load, and unload sample pans, it must be
correctly calibrated. There are four different
calibration procedures for the Autosampler CE:
Cell lid positions
Cell pan positions
Lid storage positions
Sample tray positions.
The display that is used to calibrate the positions
and a brief description of each one are listed and
illustrated in Table 4.1, beginning on the next
page.
You will need to calibrate the cell lid and cell pan
positions using the procedures described on
pages 4-11 to 4-20. The lid storage and sample
tray calibrations described on pages 4-21 to 4-27
are performed at the factory; however, these
procedures are provided in case calibration of
these positions becomes necessary.
After you calibrate the Autosampler CE, check
your calibration by following the guidelines in
Checking Your Calibration (pages 4-29 to
4-36).
Once the Autosampler CE is correctly calibra-
ted, you may need to recalibrate it only when you
replace the DSC cell. Periodic checks are the
best way of determining when the Autosampler
CE needs recalibration.
