Removing racks from stations other than unload
If a program finishes in a station other than unload, alarm type 3 sounds at
the end of the program and there will be a screen prompt requiring the
user to remove the rack.
• Press CONTINUE to confirm that the rack has been removed from the
station.
This is necessary, as the instrument will otherwise not be able to rec-
ognize whether there is still a rack in that station or not.
• Confirmation of rack removal also switches off the alarm. The staining
program is considered to be finished and removed from the list of
pending staining runs.

Unloading racks from the unload drawer
If a rack is located in the unload drawer, the alarm type 1 sounds.
• The code of the completed program and (in the bottom row) the basket
number are displayed in the unload station symbol. The colored pro-
gram indication blinks in two-second intervals.
• Carefully open the unload drawer and remove the rack. You may also
remove the entire reagent container together with the rack and re-
place it by another container.
↓
• Close the unload drawer - program code and rack
number must disappear from the station button.
• If, despite the unload drawer having been opened
and closed several times, the instrument still dis-
plays code and rack number of the rack already re-
moved, the transponder or the automatic recognition
system might be defective.
Press CANCEL RACK to manually ‘unload’ the clip.
