3.7 Robotic arms with beaker sensor
For safety reasons, the presence of a beaker on the sample rack of a Sam-
ple Processor can be detected. Some robotic arm model versions are
therefore equipped with a beaker sensor.

A robotic arm with beaker sensor is mounted as described on page 24.
The connection of the sensor cable must take place while the instrument
is switched off.
The beaker sensor is automatically recognized when switching on the
instrument.
Functioning of the beaker sensor
If the beaker sensor of the robotic arm is activated, then the lift of the
Sample Processor will move automatically into its work position after a
MOVE command. The presence of the sample vessel is checked by the
robotic arm setting down on top of it.
