AUTOLOADER COMPONENTS
Operator Panel (LCD and Keypad) The operator panel includes a five-button
keypad and a two-line, 32-character liquid crystal display (LCD). You can use
the operator panel to:
Set or change autoloader configuration options
Issue commands to the autoloader
View autoloader status and information
Run demonstration programs and test autoloader functions
Reset the autoloader
Cartridge Access Port The cartridge access port allows you to insert or
remove cartridges from the autoloader. The cartridge access port door is
motor-driven, under control of the autoloader. To prevent unauthorized use of
the cartridge access port, operator panel menus can be password protected or
access can prevented through the application.
In the event of a power failure, you can manually open the cartridge access
port door to remove cartridges. A hole in the front of the faceplate provides
access to a gear shaft attached to the door. You can use a small screwdriver to
turn the gear shaft and open the door.
