both at the back of the tray and in the front of the tray. These pins fit into slots on the Tornado.

It is sometimes necessary to manually guide the module into the LS. When the module is
successfully docked, the Power LED of the Tornado will turn ON. The Tornado will go through a
diagnostic self-test routine, turning LEDs ON and OFF, spinning and raising the sample lift until the
self-routine is over. If the Power LED does not turn ON, it means the Tornado did not properly dock
into the LS 13 320. Gently push the Tornado both at the top and bottom into the LS 13 320 and it
should then properly dock.
CAUTION
Do not place fingers/hand between sample lift and suction nozzle during
operation.
