Pressing the [START LOADER] key displays the RESTART menu shown in Figure
13.6 (the Sample Loader remains inactive) under the following two conditions:
1. When the [STOP LOADER] key was pressed while the Sample Loader was
operating
2. When the [CLEAR FAULT] key was pressed.
When the [STOP LOADER] key is pressed, the Sample Loader comes to a halt after
the current sample cycle is completed and the key changes to [START LOADER].
Pressing the [START LOADER] key after the [STOP LOADER] or [CLEAR FAULT] key
was pressed will not automatically activate the Sample Loader. Instead, the Sample
Loader RESTART menu (refer to Figure 13.6) is displayed with three soft keys:
RESUME LOADER
RESET LOADER
RETURN
NOTE: If a Sample Loader fault occurs, when the [CLEAR FAULT] and [START
LOADER] keys are pressed one of two possible submenus will be
displayed. Refer to Sample Loader Faults later in this section for an
explanation.
The operator must decide which key to press to re-activate the Sample Loader
based on whether or not the rack under the Tower was moved. Pressing either
[RESUME LOADER] or [RESET LOADER] will activate the Sample Loader and
display the main RUN screen with the [STOP LOADER] key again displayed in the
first position.
Resume Loader
The [RESUME LOADER] key should be used to activate the Sample Loader under the
following conditions:
1. When the [STOP LOADER] key was pressed and the rack under the Tower was
not subsequently moved.
2. When a Sample Loader fault occurred that did not require re-initializing the
loader.
In this case, sample processing will resume from the point where the last specimen
was aspirated. If any tubes are detected in either Mixing Station, the sample(s) will
be mixed prior to the rack advancing.
NOTE: If the rack was moved and the [RESUME LOADER] key is pressed, a Fault
condition will occur.
