1.1. OVERALL VIEW OF THE UNIT
Fig. 1.1
The CUBE 30 TOUCH module consists of a single body containing all the operating functions necessary
for analyzing the sample.
The instrument has 30 housings arranged in two concentric circles with 15 positions each, which allow
the insertion of samples. The tube rack is also equipped with a reducer for the use of rubber tubes. (Use
the plate reducer only when using rubber tubes)
One motor lifts the reading unit which utilizes four optical sensors (one per position) to verify the
suitability of the sample and detect the level at baseline and at the end of the sedimentation time.
Sample identification is carried out using an internal barcode reader that reads when the sample is
detected by the optical sensor. The sample identification code can also be entered manually using a
virtual keyboard if not automatically read by the instrument.
The function of the alarm is to alert the operator during various stages of the operating cycle or in the
event of errors.
Internal Temperature Sensor: Used to measure the temperature and is placed near the tube tray
The printer Prints test results at the end of each work cycle.

7/66 Rev 1.0 13/03/2018
EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
On the rear side of the instrument, there is a power supply connector.
On the left side of the instrument, there is the ON/OFF power button.

2.1.3. HOME POSITION CALIBRATION
In this test the selected Motor executes a complete movement and the Home offset can be
adjusted to align it perfectly to its home position.
This menu is very important to set the Home position of the Reading Unit.
If the Motor or the Home Optical Sensor have been dismounted or replaced a new Home Position
Setting is needed.
Once the correct positioning has been reached presss START, to verify the new Value, otherwise
adjust the Home Steps value, and repeat the test pressing Start.
To adjust the Sample Plate Home positioning, that is the most critical one, you have to put two
sample’s tubes in the two reading positions 1 and 2 of the Sample’s Plate.
Start the procedure by pressing the Start button related to the Reader.
The Plate will move to its home position, then the Reader will move up and stop at the topmost
position for a few seconds then returns back to its home position. If the reader is not perfectly
centerd repect the two sample’s tubes, adjust the Plate Home Steps value and repeat the
procedure.
Adjust the Mixer Home positioning by in order to place the Plate in a perfectly horizontal
position, without hit the metallic support plate. Adjust the Mixer’s Home Steps value and press
Start to check its alignment.
Adjust the Reader Home Positioning in order to have it lower than the longest sample’s tube
and without hitting the metallic support plate.
