of the first vial in the carrousel (vial 0) or the middle of the first 2 mL vial of the
AutoInjector sample tray. The CP-8400 may use a number of different sample
vial form factors; however, you should use all of the same vials for each session.
Mixing different vials is strongly discouraged. If you calibrate using one vial type
and then begin using another vial type with a different height, it is strongly
recommended that you recalibrate the Vial 0 Position to avoid bent needles and
other minor problems.
The CP-8410 uses three different vial form factors;
Vials Size
2 mL 12 X 32 mm
5 mL 20 x 38 mm
10 mL 22 x 46 mm
You may use the "Calibrate Vial 0/1 Position" of the CP-8400 or the "Calibrate
Vial 1 Position" of the CP-8410 without having to recalibrate the injector positions
by pressing the Save and Exit softkey after performing the "Calibrate Vial 0
Position" or "Calibrate Vial 1 Position" exercise.
Calibrate Injector 1 Position – This procedure is normally performed
only once when the CP-8400/8410 is first installed. You do not need to
recalibrate the Injector 1 Position after normal injector maintenance such
as changing septa or inserts. If you remove the injector or remove the
CP-8400/8410, it is recommended that you recalibrate the Injector 1
position.
Calibrate Injector 2 Position – This procedure is normally performed
only once when the CP-8400/8410 is first installed. You do not need to
recalibrate the Injector 2 Position after normal injector maintenance such
as changing septa or inserts. If you remove the injector or remove the
CP-8400/8410, it is recommended that you recalibrate the Injector 2
position.
