Adapter Plates in Position 1 and 15Install supplied Adapter Plates in deck positions 1 and 15. Remove all other Adapter Plates from the deck.Install Vial Adapter Plates for Calibration
Screw Thread EndHex End Locate the Calibration Probe found in the ePrep Accessories Box.Calibration Probe
Use the Hex end of the tool to undo the Sensor Retaining Screw at the base of the ePrep Rotating Foot. Hold the Bumper so that it does not fall off when the screw is removed. Hex end of the Calibration ProbeSensor retaining screwRemove the Sensor Retaining Screw
Screw end of the Calibration ProbeReplace the screw with the Calibration Probe and firmly screw it into the threaded hole, ensuring the foot sensor remains in position. WARNING: Do not overtighten.Install Calibration Probe
Check the Adapter Plates are installed correctly. On the software Main Screen click on System > Service > Calibrate to open the Calibrate Deck option. Software will ask if Plates are positioned correctly. Check Installation of Calibration Plates
If required the software will ask if the Calibration Probe has been correctly installed.Check Installation of Calibration Probe
If Adapter Plates and Probe are installed, the following calibration options are available: X-Axis, Y-Axis, Z-Axis, Tool-Y, Tool-Z, Foot Sensor, Foot Rotation Note: user will be prompted to remove the calibration probe for foot rotation *. Calibration Data panel records and displays the calibration data used to calculate operational parameters. Calibration points are saved on the instrument firmware for real time calculation of positional data.Calibrate Deck: starts or stops (Aborts) the calibration. If required, a system initialisation will be performed.Test Calibrate Points button can be used to test the X, Y and Z calibration at four points on the deck. If required user will be prompted to remove the probe during the procedure.Deck Calibration
On initial installation and commissioning, all calibration options should be selected. Note: the software does allow for selective “optional” calibration depending on installation of Probe and Adapter Plates. Select ALL Calibration OptionsCalibration Options
Click on “Calibrate Deck”. ePrep will move the Calibration Probe to allocated positions on the deck and tool rack to record instrument calibration data. Full calibration takes around 10 minutes.Trigger Calibrate DeckCalibrate Deck Button
When complete the calibration dialogue will display "Calibration updated successfully". Calibration data is automatically written to the instrument EEPROM to be used during operation.Calibration Completion and Data Write
Remove the Probe and replace the Holding ScrewWhen prompted, remove the Calibration Probe and replace the Holding Screw before proceeding. Store the Calibration Probe in the threaded hole next to the Wash Station.Remove Calibration Probe
Wash StationCalibration probe storage positionScrew the Calibration Probe into its deck position next to the Wash Station for storage. Store Calibration Probe
Correct Orientation of Syringe on Cassette RackRFID TagMagnet for tool location identificationePrep Syringes and tools are fitted with RFID identification collars. Place the tool in the cassettes in the correct orientation (as shown) with the plunger fully down and the Tool Retainer Clip covering the plunger button.Installing Syringes and Tools

Specified RacksSpecified Syringes and ToolsONLY Vial Racks, Syringes and Tools that are specified in the software can be used with ePrep. On initial identification, Tools must be registered to enable the software to identify registered assets have corresponding software profile for simple programming within a Workflow.Software Specified Vial Racks and Tools - IMPORTANT Registered Syringes and Tools
RFID Tag on Post RFID Tag on RackePrep requires an RFID tag for identification of all vial racks on the deck. RFID tags are located on the rack itself or on a plate post. All vials within a rack must be the same height and type as the first vial because only the height of the first vial is sensed.RFID Rack Identification
