To install a platepad or Alignment Station:
1
If a different platepad is already installed at the target installation location, remove
it as follows:
a
Uninstall the screw from the center of the platepad.
b
Lift off the platepad ensuring that the dowel pins under the platepad remain in
the deck.
2
Position the platepad or Alignment Station at the target deck location. Make sure
the crosshairs are towards the northwest corner of the deck. Ensure that the
platepad or Alignment Station sits level on the deck.
3
Install the supplied flathead cap screw into the center of the platepad or Alignment
Station.
4
Ensure that the setscrews in the platepad tabs are recessed and not protruding
into the plate nest. Use a 1.5-mm hex wrench to back out any protruding
setscrews.
A protruding setscrew will prevent proper seating of the labware in the platepad.
