1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
This manual will guide you through the installation of the barcode reader for the Gilson
Liquid Handler.
The installation process consists of three steps:
1. Changing the height of the Gilson Z-tower.
2. Mounting the barcode reader on the Gilson Liquid Handler.
3. Defining the barcode reader in the software.
These steps will be explained in the upcoming chapters.
Note: Refer to the manual Barcodes for BRUKER Automation (P/N Z31588) for
more information on the definition of the barcode labels.
1.2 Disclaimer
The unit should only be used for reading barcodes on racks & well plates in the Gilson
Liquid Handler. Use of the unit for any purpose other than that for which it is intended is
taken only at the users own risk and invalidates any and all manufacturer warranties.
Service or maintenance work on the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Only those persons trained in the operation of the Gilson Liquid Handler should operate
the unit.
Read this manual before operating the unit. Pay particular attention to any safety related
information.
1.3 Safety Issues
Always stop the software and turn the power off on the Gilson Liquid Handler before
doing any adjustments or modifications. The Gilson utilizes a very sharp and powerful
needle to inject samples which may move unexpectedly. This is particularly dangerous
when using any hazardous substances.

2 Adjusting the Z-Tower Height
2.1 General
Before the barcode reader can be used with the Gilson Liquid Handler´s robot arm, the
working height of the Z-tower must be adjusted.
2.2 Hardware
The barcode reader set contains two black anodized (i.e. has a black eloxation layer)
adjustment cylinders (one with a height of 127 mm, one with a height of 175 mm), which
aid you in mounting the Z-tower at the correct height. The 175 mm adjustment cylinder is
used for the adjustment when cooling racks are used. In either case the appropriate
value must be set up in the Gilson Control Software.
Be sure that you have the correct adjustment cylinder (black anodized). The origi-
nal gray cylinder has a height of only 124 mm and this may cause problems when
reading barcodes!
The first step in modifying the working height of the Z-tower is to turn the power off and
remove all the racks from the Gilson Liquid Handler´s bed. Move the robot arms to the
center of the bed as shown in "The Gilson Liquid Handler" on page 8.
To achieve the 127 mm (or 175 mm when using a cooling rack) height, loosen the screw
on the back of the Z-tower and pull the Z-tower upwards slightly. Place the black anod-
ized adjustment cylinder between the bottom of the Z-tower and the floor of the Liquid
Handler´s bed. Lower the Z-tower until it sits on top of the adjustment cylinder. The scale
should then show the value 127 mm (or 175 mm when using a cooling rack). Tighten the
screw and remove the black anodized adjustment cylinder.

3 Mounting the Barcode Reader
3.1 Mounting the Barcode Reader on the Liquid Handler
1. Mount the barcode reader on the barcode reader bracket using the 2 M3x8 hexagon
screws, as shown below:
Figure 3.1: Mounting the Barcode Reader to the Bracket
2. Mount the barcode reader bracket on the Z-tower of the Gilson Liquid Handler using
the two M3x10 cylinder screws. Ensure that you mount the bracket just under the
top plate of the Z-tower cover. There should not be a gap between the Z-tower
cover and the bracket (as shown in Figure 3.2:).
