6. Workstation operation
6.2 Operation as ST5020 – CV5030 workstation
Fig. 42
In this case, both instruments are connected to each other by a TS5025 Transfer Station.
Unlike the ST5010 workstation, both instruments - the ST5020 and CV5030 - communicate with each
other.
• From the station programmed last in the stain-
ing protocol, the specimen slide holder ( Fig. 43 ,
77) is removed by the transport arm ( Fig. 43 , 82)
of the ST5020 and conveyed into the TS5025
Transfer Station.
• The transfer arm ( Fig. 43 , 82) of the transfer
station takes over conveying the specimen
slide holder into the loading bath of the robotic
coverslipper.
• The message "STAINER PROC" appears on the
display.

Rear side of the ST5020 Rear side of the CV5030 • For the communication between the
stainer and coverslipper, insert the
serial interface cable (87) included
in the standard scope of delivery into
both instruments using the plug con-
nections (86.1/86.2).
• For this purpose, the socket with the
designation SERIAL (59) is provided on
the rear side of the robotic coverslipper.
• In workstation mode, the robotic
coverslipper must be ready to start
("READY") so that the specimen slides
can be processed properly.
• If the CV5030 is not ready to start and
requires user intervention, this is in-
dicated by an alarm message on the
screen of the ST5020, accompanied
by an alarm sound.
An automatic transport of the speci-
men slide holders is ensured only if
"CV" was programmed in the staining
protocols as the last station.
