ENVIRONMENT

PROCEDURE

To calibrate the rotary tray, perform the following steps:

1. Enter service mode in the ACQUITY Console. From the troubleshooting menu, select "Service Mode" and enter the service mode password: 1147.
2. In the Sample Manager section of the Console, choose the Maintain pull-down menu, select "Calibrate Rotary Tray", and follow the Wizard prompts.
3. Remove plates and click Next.
4. Insert the long side of the calibration pin (part 405013532 usually located in the foam insulation in the Sample Manager door) in the calibration hole, manually adjust the rotary tray so the tray calibration hole and the calibration hole in the datum align. The pin should insert through the tray and into the Theta drive plate assembly underneath. Click Next.
