Checking Position Alignment

The 215 Setup Utility (Adjust XY tab), described in

Section 3

, allows you to test whether the liquid

handler is properly aligned and to make minor

adjustments to the X-axis and Y-axis offsets if

needed. You may need to use the options under

this tab if the probe is not accessing the injection

port of the injection module installed or the vessels

in the installed racks. This tab is described below.

The X offset and Y offset text boxes display the

current offsets stored in the instrument’s memory.

To determine if the probe(s) need(s) to be adjusted

in the X- or Y-direction select the model of the

injection module that is on your Quad-Z (probably

an 849) or select other for a user-defined test point.

The default XY coordinates are shown next to the

model number below.

model 819:

X-coordinate: 544.0 mm

Y-coordinate: 3.8 mm

If the model 819 is not installed next to the right

support use the following coordinates:

X-coordinate: 351.1 mm

Y-coordinate: 1.3 mm

model 841:

X-coordinate: 475.3 mm

Y-coordinate: 3.8 mm

model 889:

X-coordinate: 336.1 mm

Y-coordinate: 3.8 mm
