To our customer
Our system can offer you effective space management, time saving processing power, highly
reliable parts selection and peace and quiet in your lab. Our system is designed to meet your
specific needs.
Please read this material well in order to use the system safely and properly. Also keep this
handy and with care so you can refer to more information at all times.
Please note that matters described in this material can be amended without previous notice.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate
the equipment.

General Information
A−1
This section describes function and features of Laboratory Automation System.
System Overview
What does Laboratory Automation System do?
Laboratory Automation System automates sample preparation processes
based on the aliquot/sort information from the host computer and through
C-CPU (Line Control CPU) that controls each unit.
Automating routine and labor intensive tasks enhances the efficiency of
laboratory operation.
Key Features of IDS System
Barcode Control: All samples are managed by barcode, which
eliminates human error including taking a wrong
sample.
Eliminate hospital infection: By automating sample preparation
processes, the risk of hospital infection can
be minimized.
Real-time Processing: Single Tube Transport Method provides
maximum flexibility to route samples to each own
destination and accomplishes real-time processing.

Auto Centrifuge
Centrifuge:
automatically loads sample tubes set in sample
rack into the centrifuge rotor and unload to
the lane after centrifugation.
Operationg condition:
When five sample tubes arrived on the lane, centrifuge
arm starts loading samles into the unit. (Centrifuge arm
starts loading after predetermined timeout even when
there are less than 5 sample tubes on the convyeor. Also,
if PRIORITY is pressed, centrifuge arm starts loading.)
How to change the setup at the control panel on unit
side:
Changing timeout:
(centrifugation with less than 40 sample tubes.)
1. While in MANUAL (Maintenance) mode, set 82
and press ENTER.
2. Press FUNCTION and enter a number, which will be set as timeout
(i.e., period after the first sample arrives at centrifuge and wait for the
next tube.)
