7673 "Missing Magnetic Sample Insert"
Posted: Wed May 15, 2019 1:08 pm
I'm trying to get a 7673 ALS set-up working on my 5890/5971. I have a G1512A control box(the good, later one), a 18596C tray, and G1513A tower. All were sourced from different places, but should work together.
I can power everything and start a run from Chemstation. The tray arm will move a few times, and then the turret will move several times before returning the above error.
The turret I'm using did not come with the tower, but was one from a rather large lot of parts I bought not too long ago. Viewing it with the "cut out" side facing away from me, it has a good magnet on the left hand side(good as in strong enough to pick up small pieces of steel). None the less, the tower doesn't seem to recognize it.
The manual I'm viewing(http://www.aimanalytical.com/Manuals/7673operating.pdf) seems to indicate that there should be a second magnet near the sample well on the turret, but I don't see any obvious place to put this nor can I find it on any of the ones I looked at on Ebay. Unfortunately, I can readily access my stash of turrets(I have bunches of them) but will go get them in the next few days if no one has any suggestions.
