    CHAPTER 1 Inlet and Outlet Module Description Introduction This chapter provides a brief description of the Power Express Dynamic Inlet and Outlet modules. Dynamic Inlet Module The Dynamic Inlet module loads sample tubes onto the system. This module transfers the sample tubes from the Inlet racks to sample tube carriers on the conveyor track at the beginning of the sample handling process.
  • Page 26 The Inlet module includes a green power ON button, and a red power OFF button for the Power Express system (refer to the following figure). Use these buttons to turn the Power Express system off and on during Daily Shutdown/Startup.

  • Page 28: Type

    The Inlet module uses four rack types, which you can place in any position in the rack drawer, and use in any combination. Power Express processes the racks in a user defined (V3.5 or later) priority order, independent of their physical location in the Inlet drawer.
  • Page 29 Inlet and Outlet Module Description Dynamic Inlet Module Figure 1.6 Inlet Universal Racks 1. Universal Priority Rack: RED 3. Universal Centrifuge Bypass Rack: WHITE 2. Universal Routine Rack: BLUE 4. Universal Remap Rack: YELLOW Each rack is keyed to identify the rack type to the system, and to fit in the Inlet rack drawer in only one direction.
  • Page 30 For V3.0 or later, the Error lane provides an additional flashing beacon warning when a sample is placed into the Error Lane. This warning may be configured or disabled. Contact your Beckman Coulter Field Service Engineer to configure the Error Lane alert. Figure 1.7 Error Lane 1.

    The Outlet module sorts sample tubes into Outlet racks that you can remove for offline storage or additional processing (refer to Figure 1.15 Outlet Module). Power Express can include up to two Outlet modules. Each Outlet module has eight positions for Outlet racks, each with a capacity of 50 sample tubes.

  • Page 37 Inlet and Outlet Module Description Outlet Module however, other rack types may be used for Outlet rack positions. For example, for an Outlet rack for offline testing and subsequent remapping, the yellow Remap rack is preferred. Each rack is keyed to fit in the Outlet rack drawer in only one direction. Racks must be present in all eight outlet positions or the Outlet will remain in Pause mode.

This rack type is optional and can be configured only if you have a connected Coagulation analyzer.
  • Page 39 • BLUE: Routine. Use these racks for sample tubes with no special requirements. • WHITE: Centrifuge Bypass. Use these racks for sample tubes that do not require centrifugation. • YELLOW: Remap. Use these racks to return a sample tube to the Power Express system after it has been properly removed. Caution You must load sample tubes in the correct rack type to prevent delayed results, incorrect results, or instrument damage.
  • Page 40 When the Inlet racks are empty, the system activates an audible alarm and a flashing beacon. You can then load additional Inlet racks to provide continuous sample tube flow through the system. You must load all sample tubes onto the Power Express system through the Inlet racks.

  • Page 41: Operator-Initiated Rack Change

    Confirm that the control panel legend matches the rack types in the rack drawer. If the rack types do not match, repeat the rack change. If the rack type mismatch continues, contact your Beckman Coulter representative. Close the Inlet rack drawers.

  • Page 42: Selecting Remap Destination At The Inlet Control Panel

    If the rack types do not match, repeat the rack change. If the rack type mismatch continues, contact your Beckman Coulter representative. If you place a rack in the Inlet that you do not want processed, either remove it or select the corresponding rack position so that the icon reverts to Close the Inlet rack drawers.
