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.
There are two types of Outlet racks:
• Standard Racks
• Universal Racks
The Standard Racks are used when the system is running only 13 mm diameter tubes (13
mm x 75 mm, 13 mm x 90 mm, and 13 mm x 100 mm). The Universal Racks are used when
the system handles 15 mm or 16 mm diameter tubes or 15 mm/16 mm tubes intermixed
with 13 mm tubes.
If 15 mm or 16 mm tubes are used, be sure that the racks placed in the Outlet module are
the Universal racks.
The positions of the racks or subsections may be configured for specific purposes, as shown
in the following table.
