Component description

3.2.1 Process door

The process door is normally closed to protect the operator from moving
mechanisms in the Echo liquid handler and from any stray light emitted by
the barcode scanner lasers. When a fluid transfer protocol is executed, the
process door will be opened automatically, allowing easy human or robotic
loading or unloading of microplates.
Figure 3.4 The process door (closed)
Warning: Any time the process door is
open, whether or not one of the microplate
assemblies has been extended outside of
the Echo liquid handler, there is a pinch
hazard. The pinch point label shown here is
visible on both microplate assemblies and
reminds you to keep your hands and fingers
clear of the mechanisms.
