8. Press the Temperature Sensor Corrections button. The following screen will be displayed.
9. Press the white button with the gray border for each sensor that did not show the same value as the thermometer and
type in the difference between what the sensor reported and the actual temperature shown on the thermometer.
10. Press the Save to Permanent Memory button after setting the offsets. They will remain until they are changed using
this diagnostic.
11. Repeat steps 1-3 of this procedure to check that the sensors read within

2° of the Thermometer.
Heating Paddle – Mixing Operation
Computer controlled heating paddles are used along with stationary mixing pads to mix the sample with the buffer and enzyme
solutions during the IDF process. To check the mixing operation of the heating paddles, follow the steps below.
1. Start an IDF/SDF analysis on the instrument without using any samples. See the “IDF/SDF Analysis” section of this
manual for more details. When Clamp Bar A closes (at the beginning of the Amylase phase), the heating paddles will
start actuating.
2. Count the number of heating paddle actuations that occur in 15 seconds.
You should see 10-15 actuations within 15 seconds.
