Rsh Calibrations - Abbott ARCHITECT RHS Training Manual

CALIBRATIONS
During installation, or some RSH components Removal and Replacements, calibrations are required on
either the RSH and possibly the Processing Module. These procedures are either Maintenance or
Diagnostics.

RSH Calibrations

Components that require calibration are
• RSH Bar Code Reader
• Carrier Transport
• Carrier Positioner(s)

FUNCTION and USE
• Aligns the Carrier Transport
to the bays and Carrier
Positioner.
• In addition the Carrier
Positioner's back lash and
pitch are calculated.
• Calibration positions for
Sample ID bar codes are
defined for the RSH Bar
Code Reader.
MODULE 5: MISCELLANEOUS
Procedural Notes
• Must be performed FIRST
• Calibrates Carrier Transport to Carrier Positioner(s)
and bays
• Calibration Locations:
- 3 theta slots (bay, positioner, and bar code), theta
bay slot is calibrated, theta positioner slot is
calculated from the theta bay slot position, bar
code slot is not calibrated or calculated
- Bays: 5 slots per bay, 3rd slot is calibrated, other
slots are calculated from the 3rd slot position
- Carrier Positioner(s): 4 slots per positioner, each is
calibrated
• Calibrations of the sample and STAT Pipettors use the
RSH and set calibration points for the Carrier
Positioner as part of the calibration procedure
• Sample and STAT Pipettor Calibrations should not be
performed until after procedure 1119 has been
successfully completed
• Sample Handler Bar Code Reader Calibration Tool is
placed in the carrier and the carrier is placed on the
RSH as the procedure instructs
• Carrier is picked up and moved to the RSH Bar Code
Reader and the tool is then used to determine the
correct position of the transport in relation to the RSH
Bar Code Reader
• The position of the bar code reader itself does not
require any adjustment
