Changing Cell Holders

Installing the 6-Position Cell Holder and the Single Cell Holder

Thermo Scientific
If the 6-Position Cell Holder has been installed, it will initialize it to the "B" position. After it
has initialized the cell changer, the instrument will display the data collection screen for the
test.
Note If, while in this screen, you remove the cell changer and press Run Sample, the
instrument will display "Fatal Error: 8 Press Esc to return to main menu."
Pressing Esc returns you to the parameter menu screen of the test. Press Run Test and the
instrument will now display the message, "Calibrating and Checking Turret, Please Wait"
while it attempts to initialize the cell positioner at the Blank position.
If the cell changer is still not in the sample compartment, the instrument will display
"Error, Single Cell Holder Found. Use Single Cell Holder?"
Either press Cancel Change and reinstall the cell changer or press Accept Change to
continue with using the single cell holder.
To prevent the Fatal Error whenever removing the cell changer, always return to either the
main menu or the test parameter menu of the test before removing the cell changer.
To:
• use long pathlength cells (cylindrical or rectangular)
• use test tubes
