2.7 Adjustment of Sample Loader
Verifying the needle tip placement
Set the sample conatiner (primary tube or vial) on the rack and place it
on the loader.
Move the sample needle with MAINTE screen and verify whether the
needle move down to an appropriate height by eyes from the top of the
needle and side of the rack.
Refer to this manual (4.6 Parameter Settings for Engineers, 4.7
Maintenance Screens for Engineers) for the operation procedure in
MAINTE screen and details of parameters for service person.
If the needle placement is out of the center of the sample tube or its
height is not appropriate, it may cause the needle broken or trouble.
First of all, make sure of the installation for the main unit and the sample
loader and also confirm no cable catch between the main unit and the
loader, the height of the main unit which can be adjusted by adjustable
feet to be appropriate.
If the installation has no problem, as the fine adjustment of move length

(the number of pulse) is required, change it to an appropriate value
through the parameter screen for service person.
Fig.2-18 Needle Tip Placement (Side Vview)
The tip of the needle is best placed above

the bottom of the container by 2 ~ 2.5 mm.

STAT port
The adapter for the φ13 tube is attached on shipment to STAT port. It
will be suitable to the 75 mm standard primary tube (φ12-13) or sample
vial. If try to use the φ14, change the adapter for the φ14. The adapter is
not needed if try to use the φ15.
An adapter can be replaced or removed easily by detaching two screws

mounting the plate of STAT port, which can be seen from the front. In
this case, do not drop off screw and parts for the adapter inside of the
sample loader.
When try to use sample vial, it requires an adapter regardless of size.
Without adapter, no appropriate placement is expected in the port.

Bar Code Confirmation
A bar code reader comes standard on all G8 sample loaders. If you are not
using bar codes, or do not want it to illuminate them, turn the #1 SW2 (8P
DIP-SW) on the ASM-board to OFF before turning on the main power.
If the SUS front panel is removed, it is easiest to adjust the bar code reader
position from the front, regardless of the sample loader.
In addition, the selection of the bar code reader specifications and the
detailed settings can be executed through BCR screen.
Refer to this manual “6.21.6 Bar code Reader Adjustment” for further
information about the installation and location adjustment.
< Preparation >

Prepare a bar code label that will actually be used, a sample container
(empty primary tube), or a vial adapter. Be careful of the label angle and
location during placement. Be sure the bar code label is oriented towards
the analyzer (that is, towards the slit of the sample rack - refer to the
operator’s manual about how to set the sample).
Place the rack on the sample loader and move the sample to the position
where the bar code can be read by moving the rack (adjust the position to
the right by two tubes from the sampling position). In this process, adjust the
rack guide (on the bottom of the rack) so that it is placed exactly at the
sampling position fixed by the latch holder. (You can move the rack by hand,
but it’s recommended to adjust the position with the pitch transfer of the X1
axis on the MAINTE screen because the movement is quite similar to the
actual rack transfer.)

< Bar code reading check >
A bar code reading check is executed with the key on the MAIN –
MENU – UTILITY - BCR screen. (Screen 2-9) When this key is pressed,
the bar code reader executes a single flash (~300 msec) and executes a
reading operation. Once the information has been read, you will hear a beep
and the light will turn off. The read results are displayed on the last line of
the screen. Compare the results with the printed label to make sure the bar
code was correctly read. It is also recommended that you prepare multiple
labels and sample containers to check operations at multiple positions on
the rack.

In addition, the following three codes can be set. G8 can set a maximum of
four codes at the same time of the seven codes total.
JAN (UPC/EAN), Industrial 2of5, COOP 2of5
- When you are only able to read from time to time (low reading ratio).
A low reading ratio could be caused by poor label printing quality, improper
bar code placement, or insufficient upper and lower margins (blank space).
See the operator’s manual and “Chapter 3.4 Samples" in this manual to
verify the reason.
