Metrohm 789 Robotic Sample Processor XL - Manual (Page 57)

2.5 Start-up
Metrohm Sample Processor, Installation 49
2.5 Start-up
Some instrument settings must be made on the Sample Processor be-
fore it is used for the first time. These are:
• Dialog language
• Counter setting of running time meter
• Tower configuration
• Robotic arm settings (optional)
• Rack definitions
• Dosing unit configurations
• RS232 interface parameters
All these settings are found in the configuration menu that you can
open with the <CONFIG> key.
Under >auxiliaries :
• Set the dialog language to English, see p. 57.
•
Enter a warning limit under >>running time meter , see p. 58.
Recommendation: 1000 h
Under >tower 1 and >tower 2 :
• Limit the max. stroke path, i.e. set the lowest possible lift posi-
tion, see p. 58. Recommendation: 160…200 mm
(Can be set with the LEARN function)
• If a 786 Swing Head is installed then, under >>swing head 1 , set
the swing position for the robotic arm, select a swing angle for
at least one external position and set its working height, see p.
58ff. All this can be set using the LEARN function.
Under >rack definitions :
• Load the rack data of the attached sample rack and set the
various lift positions (working position, shifting position, rinsing
position, etc. for each lift) for processing the samples, see p.
61ff. This can all be done by using the LEARN function.
• Select a beaker sensor. For single row samples racks the opti-
cal sensor of the tower should be selected.
• Under >>>special positions you may want to define one or
more special beaker positions. The rack position for the special
beaker (e.g. rinsing beaker, conditioning beaker) must be en-
tered and the working position must be set for each lift (with the
LEARN function), see p. 61ff.
• The rack definitions must be saved and then the sample rack
must be initialized with the <RACK> key.
