Performing the Calibration
Calibrating the
Cell Lid Positions
Because each DSC cell is custom made, the cell
lid positions cannot be calibrated at the factory
and must be calibrated on newly installed
Autosampler CEs.
1. Access the Autosampler CE keypad by
loosening the captive thumbscrews on the
keypad cover and tilting the cover down.
2. Press RESET SAMPLER, and press
ENTER to bring the Autosampler CE to
home position.
3. Make sure all lids are in their storage
positions (see Table 4.1).
4. Press the LIDS key. The screen displays:
Uncover (1) or
Cover (2) ? 1
5. Select option 2 (Cover) by pressing the 2
key, then pressing ENTER. The Autosam-
pler CE picks up a lid and begins moving
toward the cell.
6. Press the ESCAPE/CLEAR key when the
Autosampler CE reaches the DSC cell area.
7. Use the motion keys to position the lid in its
correct cell calibration position (see Table
4.1). Press the RELEASE and GRIP keys
repeatedly to ensure that the fingers can
firmly grasp the lid, and watch carefully to
ensure that each finger contacts the lid at the
same time (see Figure 4.1).
