Armlock Removal

The armlock on the liquid handler secures the Y-arm during shipment. You must remove the armlock prior to installing the Z-arm and operating the instrument. If the armlock is not removed, the liquid handler cannot move in the X-direction. This results in an error state during operation.

If you need to move the liquid handler, always reinstall the armlock. This safeguards against mechanical damage.

To remove the armlock:

1Remove the cardboard label in front of the armlock.

2Using the 9/64" ball driver, loosen the tensioning screw that immobilizes the Y-arm.

3Using the 9/64" ball driver, remove the two remaining screws that hold the armlock in place.

4Remove the armlock and store it and the ball driver for future use.
