REVISION STATUS

Initial Issue, 5/00

Released by CN 030830-0138
Software version 3A

Revision B, 3/01

Released by CN 030850-0253
Software version 4A
Revision B is a complete revision. This revision includes any hardware changes made since revision A, four
gripper arm alignment procedures (Heading 4.31), three new bridge assembly adjustment procedures
(Headings 4.30, 4.32, and 4.33), and a copy of the Coulter® GEN S St™ SlideStainer Stand Alone PC
TOOL User Documentation (inserted after Heading B.1).

Revision C, 7/01

Released by CN 036830-0198
GEN•S System software version: 4A2
LH 750 System software version: 1A
Revision C incorporates information for the LH SlideStainer. As part of adding the LH 750 System
information, the red and yellow traffic light icons were replaced with text in the error message tables. This
replacement is not marked with change bars, as that would mask true technical changes. Technical
changes were made on the following pages: 1.1-1, 1.1-3, 1.2-2, 2.1-1, 2.1-2, 2.1-3, 2.1-6, 2.3-3, 3.1-1,

3.1-2, 3.2-1, 3.2-2, 3.3-1 through 3.3-10, 3.4-1, 3.5-1, 4.1-2, 4.1-3, 4.1-4, 8.1-2, 8.1-3, 8.1-4, 8.1-6, 8.1-8,

8.2-1, 8.2-4, 8.2-6, 8.2-7, 8.2-12, 8.2-13, and 8.2-14.

Revision D, 3/02

Released by CN 036850-0458
GEN•S System software version: 4A2
LH 750 System software version: 1A2

Revision D updates the installation procedures and associated information to address installation
problems experienced during the controlled release of the LH 750 System. In addition, the parts list is
updated and the engineering schematics have been removed from Chapter 6 and added to a CD-ROM in
the Service Resource Kit.

Changes were made on the following pages: 1.1-1, 3.2-2,3.2-3, 3.3-9, 3.3-10, 3.4-2, 6.1-1, 8.1-2, 8.1-3,

8.1-4, 8.2-2, 8.2-10, 8.2-13, 8.2-14.

Changes that are part of the most recent revision are indicated in the printed copy by a bar in the margin of
the amended page.

This document applies to the latest software listed and higher versions. When a subsequent software version affects the
information in this document, the changes will be included on minor revision change pages or summarized on a Notice of
Information Update form and will be released by service memo.

INTRODUCTION

MANUAL DESCRIPTION

Conventions

This manual uses the following conventions to make the material clearer and more concise.

1. Messages that appear on a screen are in italics. For example:

Bath 5 Drained too fast. Possible leak.

2. Selections that appear on a screen are boldfaced. For example:

Select the

Verify Alignment button and observe the cycle to verify correct alignment of the

arm.

3. Keys on the Workstation or on a laptop computer are boxed. For example:

When the System Setup - SlideStainer screen is displayed, press Þ+Ó to access the
Service Diagnostics screen. For example:

4. Keys that are to be pressed simultaneously are printed with a plus sign between the keys.
For example:

When the System Setup - SlideStainer screen is displayed, press Þ+Ó to access the
Service Diagnostics screen.

5. The software path to a specific function or screen appears with the double solid-right
triangle ( tt ) symbol between succeeding screen options. For example:

At the Workstation, select tt tt

SlideStainer tab.

6. When the word "select" is used in conjunction with the screen and its associated keys,
icons, or buttons, you are to use whatever method the Workstation is configured for to
display the desired screen or to initiate the desired function: “click on” the options with
the mouse, touch the options with the light pen, or press the options on a touch screen.

7. The meaning of the words "double-click," which are used together as a verb, varies
depending on the pointing device used.

1.1-4

r For a mouse it means, press the left mouse button twice.

r For a light pen it means, press the light pen against the screen twice.

r For a touch screen it means, touch the screen with your finger twice.

8. In the electronic version of the manual:

a. Links to additional information are in blue and are underlined.

For more information on the slide basket processing system, see the Drawer module
(Heading 2.6

) and the Agitation module (Heading 2.7).

To access the linked information, select the blue, underlined text.

b. The material is divided into many small sections (electronic files) to enhance the

access speed.

r Every primary heading is a separate file and whenever possible the amount of

material contained within one primary heading is limited to four to ten pages.

r If a primary heading must be large, such as the illustrated parts list, invisible

breaks are added to the electronic file to further divide it.

To move from one section (electronic file) to the next in an HTML version of the
manual, use the right and left arrows on the navigation bar.

1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This section covers safety precautions that you must take whenever you are working on the
SlideStainer. In addition, when following a procedure in this manual, always follow any safety
precautions included in that procedure.

Electronic

WARNING Risk of personal injury. Rings or jewelry can contact exposed electronic components, causing

personal injury from electric shock. Remove rings and other metallic jewelry before performing
maintenance or service on the electronic components of the instrument.

WARNING Risk of personal injury. Contacting exposed electronic components while the instrument is

attached to power can cause personal injury from electric shock. Power down completely before removing
covers to access electronic components.

CAUTION Risk of damage to electronic components. Connecting or disconnecting a circuit card, solenoid,

or any other electronic component while the power is ON can damage the component or the circuitry for the
component. Power down the SlideStainer before connecting or disconnecting an electronic component.

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1

CAUTION Risk of damage to driver circuitry. Connecting or disconnecting a solenoid while the power is ON

can damage the driver circuitry. Turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting a solenoid.

CAUTION Risk of damage to electronic components. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives,

add-in circuit cards and other electronic components. Perform any procedures where there is a possibility
of ESD damage at an ESD workstation or wear an antistatic wrist strap attached to a metallic part of the
chassis connected to an earth ground.

CAUTION Risk of fire hazard. Replacing a fuse or fuse holder with the incorrect type or rating can overheat

the wiring, causing a fire. Always replace a fuse or fuse holder with the type and rating specified for that
circuit.

Biological

WARNING Risk of personal injury or contamination. If you do not properly shield yourself before servicing

the SlideStainer with the door open, you could be injured or contaminated. To prevent possible injury or
contamination, always wear gloves, a lab coat, and eye protection when servicing the instrument with the
doors open.

WARNING Risk of personal injury. The stain reagents contain methanol which is flammable and toxic.

When handling the methanol waste container and its associated tubing, avoid exposure to sparks or flames,
avoid skin contact, and clean up spills immediately. If the methanol waste container requires emptying or
replacement, do not dispose of the contents yourself. Ask the customer to dispose of the contents of the
waste container in accordance with the local regulations and acceptable laboratory procedures.

PN 4237601D

1.2-1

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING Risk of personal injury and contamination. Some slide processing areas could contain prepared

smears and/or broken glass with biohazardous material. Handle with care and avoid skin contact. Wait for
moving parts to stop.

Use care when working with pathogenic materials. Means must be available to decontaminate
the instrument, provide ventilation and to dispose of waste liquid. Refer to the following
publications for further guidance on decontamination.

r Biohazards Safety Guide, 1974, National Institute of Health

r Classifications of Etiological Agents on the Basis of Hazards, 3d ed., June 1974, Center

for Disease Control, U.S. Public Health Service.

Troubleshooting

Bring the following warning to the customer's attention before advising that customer to
perform any service, maintenance or troubleshooting procedures on the instrument.

WARNING Risk of personal injury. If you do not properly shield yourself while performing service,

maintenance and troubleshooting procedures, residual fluids in the instrument could injure you. Beckman
Coulter recommends barrier protection, such as appropriate safety glasses, lab coat, and gloves, be worn
throughout the performance of service, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures to avoid contact with
cleaners and residual fluids in the instrument.
