73 Leica CV5030 – Robotic Coverslipper
6. Workstation operation
• All empty specimen slide holders must be
removed from the discharge chute and the
drawer of the transfer station must be closed.
Then, press the START button so that the
"READY" message appears on the display.
Transfer from the slide stainer to the robotic
coverslipper is now possible once again.
6.1 Operation as ST5010 – CV5030 Workstation (continued):
Basically, we do not recommend man-
ual loading of the CV5030 in worksta-
tion operation, as this can impair or
stop the program flow of the ST5010.
So that you do not disturb workstation
operation, you should process speci-
men slide holders that come from the
slide stainer first. Only then should you
process the specimen slide holders to
be loaded manually in the coverslipper.
• However, if it is necessary to insert a specimen
slide holder into the loading bath manually
for coverslipping, the empty specimen slide
holder must also be removed from the loading
drawer manually. The empty specimen slide
holder is not conveyed automatically into the
transfer station and thus onto the discharge
chute. Specimen slide holders from the stainer
have priority for processing.
• The display shows the "FINISHED" message
and a signal tone sounds. Confirm the signal
tone with the RESPOND button. This is fol-
lowed by the "PAUSED" and "CHECK BATH"
messages and a signal tone. Confirm the signal
tone with the RESPOND button. The display
then shows the "PAUSED" message.
Ensure that at this time, no specimen
slide holder is manually inserted into
the loading bath, as this can stop the
program flow.
• Do not press the START button until after the
specimen slide holder is removed. This will
ensure that pending specimen slide holders
from the slide stainer can be processed.
• If a specimen slide holder is waiting in the
unload station of the stainer to be transferred
to the CV5030, a manually loaded specimen
slide holder cannot be processed.
