Calibrating the
Sample Tray
To calibrate the sample tray positions, use the
following procedures:
The Autosampler CE uses the calibrated tray
positions 1, 11, and 59 to calculate all other
tray positions. Be sure to verify each of these
positions as described here.
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 ENTER to
bring the Autosampler CE to the home
position.
3. Make sure the sample tray is fully inserted.
4. Place empty crimped pans in tray positions 1,
11, and 59.
5. Use the motion keys to position the grippers
over the pan in tray position #1. Press the
GRIP and RELEASE keys to ensure that the
fingers can firmly grasp the pan, and watch
carefully to ensure that each finger contacts
the pan at the same time (see Figure 4.4 on
the next page).
