ASX-112FR Autosampler Operator's Manual
Chapter 3: Installing the Autosampler
Two Bel-Art half racks are provided for the tall configuration. The tray layouts
are shown in Figure 3-13.
To assemble and place the samples and standards for a tall configuration,
complete the following steps:
Assemble the Bel-Art rack by snapping the middle and top sections to the
bottom according to the instructions included with the rack.
1
Ensure the short sample tray adapter plate is not screwed into place in the
center of the rotary tray. An ASX-112FR ordered in a tall configuration will be
2
shipped without the adapter plate in place.
Place the standards in the rotary tray as shown in Figure 3-11.
3
Load the sample vials in the sample tray and place the tray in the center of the
rotary tray.
4
A correctly placed sample rack will not move more than ±0.2 millimeters (mm)
unless lifted. A tilted sample vial rack or vials indicate an improperly placed
rack or vials, which must be corrected before you operate the autosampler.
Replace the autosampler cover by sliding it into the groove in the rinse
alignment block.
5
The cover on the ASX-112FR has a hinged front door, secured by a bar latch,
which can be opened to add or remove sample vials or the sample vial rack.
The entire cover itself can also be fully removed. Avoid removing the cover
during operation; this could result in an impact to the Y-arm assembly causing
an alignment error. In the case of a mechanically induced alignment error, the
power to the unit would need to be cycled off and on to realign the Y-arm.
