           - **How To start Erba XL 1000**
        * Turn on power supply(in electric board).
        * {{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:main_switch.jpg?400|}}
        * Turn on White switch(primary) on back left lower side of instrument.
        * {{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:white_switch.jpg?400|}}
        * Turn on red switch(secondary) on back left side instrument
        * {{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:red_switch.jpg?400|}}
        * Turn on computer.
        * Start MultiXL Software.

   -** Prepare Sample rack**
       * Use rack sequentially from No.1 to 20.
       * Remove cap of vacutte before keeping vacuette in rack.
       * In individuale Rack, place samples from position 1 to 5. (Position Nos are embossed on Rack TOP)
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:img_20200604_131715.jpg?600|}}
       * Place the Vacuette with barcode on front side in Rack.
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:front_side_of_rack.jpg?400|}}
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:back_side_of_rack.jpg?400|}}
       * Do Not rotate the vacuette after putting in Rack.
       * If vacuette wrongly placed in rack, remove it and again place it correctly. (Do Not rotate in side rack to prevent damage of barcode sticker) 
       * __If sample are not Sufficient,then serum was separated in eppindorf cup(1.5mL) and cup is put on white 5 mL Tube. Then Tube with cup put in Rack.__

- **Programming sample for Analysis**
**When Decision to run a sample is taken**, 
  *Three parameters are required 
    * Sample id
    * Sample Position
    * Sample test Order
  -__Scenario -1 (No entry)__
    *Barcoded sample in 5 ml tube
       *Keep on rack
          *do/check  following
             *connect usb from pc-→machine,  restart PC
             *select USB3 as LIS Barcode port in settings→system parameters

{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:comb-3.jpg?600|}}
{{ :nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:all2.jpg?600 |}}
             *restart PC then restart machine
             *Connect to LIS interfacing software
    *tickmark sample barcode in status monitor,tickmark rack module in status monitor
{{ :nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:eallc2.jpg?600 |}}
        *Start Run
        *Track will move, Rack will move on infeed belt to analysis belt
        *Barcode will be read to get sample_id
        *To find test order
          *Q will be sent to LIS, O will be sent by LIS to machine
          *To find sample position, rack barcode and position of Rack will be scanned
  -__Scenario -2 (Sample_ID entry)__
    *Barcoded sample in 5 ml tube
    *Keep on rack
      *do/check  following
        *Connect to LIS interfacing software
        *tickmark sample barcode scan in status monitor
        *Enter sample id in patient entry
        *click on Download Samples
          *Q will be sent to LIS, O will be sent by LIS to machine to get test order
        *Start Run
          *Track will move, Rack will move on infeed belt to analysis belt
          *Barcode will be read
            *To find sample position, barcode and position of Rack will be scanned
  -__Scenario -3 (Sample_ID + Position entry)__
    *sample in 5 ml tube/2 ml cup, no barcode
      *Keep on rack
        *do/check  following
          *Connect to LIS interfacing software
        *enter sample id
        *enter rack number and position to define sample position
        *click on Download Samples
          *Q will be sent to LIS, O will be sent by LIS to machine to get test order
        *Start Run
  -__Scenario -4 (Sample_ID + Position + Test entry)__
    *sample in 5 ml tube/2 ml cup, no barcode
      *Keep on rack
        *enter sample id
        *enter rack number and position to define sample position
        *enter tests ordered
      *Start Run

 **How To load sample rack on conveyor belt of Erba XL 1000**
  - First prepare racks
  - load the rack on conveyor belt
        - Rack barcode must be on outer side
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:rack_last.jpg?400|}}
        - Rack front groov should be fit in outer rim of conveyor belt.
 {{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:front_groove1.jpg?600 |}} 
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:rack_front_groove.jpg?400|}}  
        - rack must be kept between two vertical prominent rim
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:rack_first.jpg?400|}}
{{:nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:rack_side.jpg?400|}}

  * If Instrument is in running status,
        - load all the samples in rack, prepare racks
        - Pause the instrument from status monitor
        - load the sample racks on conveyor belt
        - resume run

**NOTE:** IF Conveyor Belt stop moving in between running batch, check for Rack module Tick in system parameter in setting.

**Warning** : Check for any metal things attached to lower side of rack magnet when Rack loading on conveyor Belt.
