4. Setting up the instrument
4.9 Alarm functions
Instrument alarm
The instrument alarm is generated from within
the Leica ST5020.
The instrument alarm is used for all alarm situa-
tions.
Remote alarm
This alarm is external to the Leica ST 5020.
Any alarm generated in the instrument, no mat-
ter of which alarm type, is passed on to the re-
mote alarm system, even when the type 1 in-
strument alarm is switched off.
The remote alarm sound/volume is the same for
all alarm types - individual sound and volume
settings selected in the ALARM menu (see
chapter 5.4.2 ) are disregarded.
Connecting a remote alarm device
The remote alarm system which can be optio-
nally connected works with a potential-free re-
lay. If an alarm is generated, the alarm circuit
closes.
The remote alarm device connected to the in-
strument must be rated at less than 2 amp. A
maximum voltage of 24 V AC/DC may be pre-
sent.
The remote alarm device is connected to the
printer via a 6.3 mm-diameter jack connector
(optional accessory).
For details on how to connect a remote alarm
device to the Leica IP, please contact your local
Leica sales office or the manufacturer Leica
Microsystems Nussloch GmbH directly.
Securing the transport arm:
• Change to the Supervisor mode.
• Call up the keyboard (e.g. as required for en-
tering the password, see
Chapter 5.4.3 )
• Enter the command “#transport“.
The arm moves down into station 6 where it re-
mains and can no longer be moved.
After switching the instrument off, it is ready for
transport.
4.10 Transport
The following measures must be taken if the in-
strument is to be transported:
• Remove all the racks.
• Empty all reagent containers.
• Secure the transport arm of the instrument.
• Disconnect the instrument from the supply
voltage.
• Detach the water inlet hose and the water
drain hose.
• If necessary, detach the air evacuation
hose.
• Reattach the carrying handles (see Chapter
4.2 ).
• If the instrument is transported over longer
distances, pack the instrument in its original
shipping box and follow the measures for
securing it for transport.
