Docking And Undocking Device Modules
Note:
Crush hazard. Ensure parts are, and will remain, stationary before servicing.
You can dock and undock a device module two ways:
Performing A Temporary Undocking
l
Useful if you need to access the inside of the robot cell
l
Runs can continue after you redock the module and reinitialize the system
Performing A Full Module Undocking
l
Useful if you need to remove or replace a device or module
l
Any protocol in progress is aborted and cannot be continued
l
Reset the system by pressing the blue Reset button on the Control Panel
Performing A Temporary Undocking
A temporary undocking includes undocking a module but keeps the Access system powered. You can undock a device module
mid-run to access the inside of the robot cell, and then redock the module and reinitialize the system.
To complete a temporary undock, do this:
1. Pause the Tempo protocol that is currently running.
2. Locate the
UNDOCK
button on the module you want to undock.
3. Press and hold the
UNDOCK
button until the audible alarm stops and the
DOCK
button turns on. An alarm sounds and the
UNDOCK
button light turns off when the module is fully separated from the Access system.
4. Use the pivoting handles to pull the module back one meter from the Access system or until necessary clearance is
achieved. Push the knobs inward on the pivoting handles to position them as extended or upright.
