This section details a set of instructions for correct assembly of the robotic hardware. It
begins by listing the items contained within the packaging.
.
2.1 Robotic Hardware (7600 Series)
The autoloader box should contain:
1. The 7600 series robotic hardware system
2. Power cable
3. These Quick et-up Instructions
4. Warranty & support documents
2.2 Step-by-step guide of Robotic hardware
2.2.1 ST P ON – Remove the Packing Constraints
•Carefully remove the autoloader from its carton, lifting from the bottom using the
hand cut outs in the foam base.
•DO NOT attempt to lift the machine using the spindles, column tower, or pick
arm, as these are delicate pieces and are depended on for proper alignment and
functioning of the unit.
•Place the system on a level workspace free of debris, dust, humidity, excessive
heat, and electronic or electromagnetic interference.
•Keep out of direct sunlight.
•Allow at least six inches of clearance on all sides of unit for ventilation.
•Remove protective plastic cover from system and save along with the rest of the
MFD packaging.
2.2.2 ST P TWO – Remove the Stabilizing Bracket
•If the system has one, *remove the stabilizing bracket that is attached to
the drive stack and column tower (very important)*. This is an item used
to stabilize the column tower in shipping only and could severely damage the
autoloader if not removed prior to powering on the unit.
•ave the stabilizing bracket along with the rest of the packaging.
2.2.3 ST P THR – Plug in the Peripherals
•Plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the robot.
•Attach the Ethernet cable.
•Using the enclosed 3-prong power cord, plug in the autoloader to a properly
grounded AC receptacle. It is highly recommended that a surge protector is
used to ensure safety in operation.
