This document describes how to use the PIPETMAX Alignment Utility,
including how to install the alignment head.
The PIPETMAX Alignment Utility is installed as part of
the TRILUTION® micro Software installation or via the
PIPETMAX Package Updater.
Run the PIPETMAX Alignment Utility to ensure proper alignment. It is only
necessary when setting up the instrument for the first time, or if instructed to
do so by your local Gilson representative.

Connect Alignment Cable and Align Clips
NOTICE
If the alignment head is installed, but the
cabling is not connected and the alignment
starts, it may damage the alignment head.
1. If your PIPETMAX does not have a rotating cover and
uses the external safety interlock sensor, disconnect
the BOTTOM terminal block connector from the
input/output ports on the rear panel.
2. Pass the end of the alignment cable with pre-wired
connector through the access hole at the back of
PIPETMAX.
3. The connector is labeled BOTTOM because it connects
to the bottom set of input/output ports on the rear
panel of PIPETMAX. Make the connection.
4. The clips to secure the tip racks on the tray can
interfere with the alignment. Ensure that the clips ( ) are positioned as shown in the
diagram below, and that the thumbscrews have been tightened.

To stop PIPETMAX immediately, press the red STOP button on the front of PIPETMAX.
Remove Alignment Head

Reconnect External Safety Interlock Sensor
If your PIPETMAX does not have a rotating cover, it requires
an external safety interlock. The external safety interlock was
disconnected prior to running the alignment. Reconnect the
BOTTOM terminal block connector to the input/output ports on
the rear panel.
Troubleshooting
If you see the following message, remove and reinstall the removable tray and then rerun the
PIPETMAX Alignment Utility.
If you encounter any trouble or have concerns while running the alignment, please do not
hesitate to contact your local Gilson representative. Specific contact information can be
found at www.gilson.com/contactus.
