Time and Date
Supervisor-level users can change the time on the instrument on the Instrument settings screen.
Any user can configure the three date and time formats (shortened, normal and extended) used in
the system.

To change the system time tap the Set time button then use the Up and Down buttons as
required to set the correct time.

To change time formats tap the Set date/time format button and then the Modify button
for the format you want to change. Select the required format from the list in the Select time
format or Select date format dialog box.
Instrument Shutdown
Tap the Shutdown instrument button on the Instrument settings screen to turn off the
instrument in an orderly manner. This uses the same shutdown routine as the shutdown button on
the Function bar. When the touch-screen goes blank, turn off the red power button.
See 2.1 Switching On and Shutting Down.
Reagent Fill Levels
The reagent fill levels determine the volume used to fill a retort and the reagent volume needed for
a station to have a full state. You configure the instrument to fill the retorts with sufficient reagent
to process either two or three cassette baskets. If the retorts are set for three baskets the bottle fill
level must also be three baskets, to ensure sufficient reagent to fill the retorts.
You must be a supervisor to change fill levels (on the Instrument settings screen).

To set the retort fill level, tap the Retort fill level button and select two or three baskets.

To set the reagent station fill level, tap the Bottle fill level button and select two or three
baskets.
If you increase the fill volume you must visually check each reagent station to ensure it holds
sufficient reagent. A protocol may be abandoned if a station does not hold sufficient reagent.
Manual Drain Drip Time
Supervisors can change the drip time for manual drain operations on the Instrument settings
screen. The drip time is the length of time the system waits for reagents to drip from cassettes and
retort walls before completing the drain operation.

Tap the Manual drain drip time button then enter the required number of seconds.
