Section 2: Setup and Preparation for Operation
Performing Tests
The Pattern Test and Volume Test must be performed before using the instrument. See Section 6, Nozzle
Maintenance and Performance.
Reagent Level Monitoring
Reagent Level Detect monitors reagent levels and sounds an alert when the reagent is running low, or
when the waste container is full (when using the waste container with level detect). Reagent and waste
container monitoring can be turned ON or OFF from the Level Detect menu. The system default is on for
reagent monitoring and off for waste container monitoring.
NOTE: The instrument must be installed on a flat, level surface for accurate monitoring of the reagents.
Disable the Level Detect function for any line not using the standard 500 mL bottle.
CAUTION:
This system is designed to warn when the reagent level is getting low. The instrument will continue
running through these warnings. The user must monitor and replenish the reagent before running a
stain cycle.
Enabling/Disabling Reagent Level Detect
1. Press Information from the Main menu.
2. Press System Setup.
3. Press Level Detect. The display shows:
4. Press Tray to enable, or Off to disable a reagent line. Functions are grey when unselected, blue when
selected. Press External to enable the external level detect for the F reagent line. Press External to
enable level detect for the waste bottle.
NOTE: Must have external level sensors installed for instrument to detect the external bottles.
5. When finished, press Back to exit to System Setup menu.
Zeroing the Reagent Level Sensors
The Level Detect function must be zeroed at initial setup, when the stainer is moved, or if the level detect
is not reporting correctly. If zeroing does not correct the problem, recalibrate the Level Detect function
(Section 7.3).
1. Press Information.
2. Press System Setup.
