Waste Tray Warning Level
The VITEK
®
2 instrument displays a warning message when the Waste
Collection Tray reaches full capacity. Use this setting to adjust the amount of
advance warning the instrument will provide.
When the Waste Tray Warning Level is set to zero, the VITEK
®
2 instrument
will issue the warning as soon as a card is loaded into the instrument that
would overfill the Waste Collection Tray when it is completed. As the value of
the Waste Tray Warning Level is increased, the instrument will allow that
number of cards to be loaded into the VITEK
®
2 instrument above the
capacity of the waste tray before the warning is generated. If the Waste Tray
Warning Level is set to 60, the instrument will not issue any warnings, it will
only issue an Alarm when a card cannot be unloaded due to a full Waste
Collection Tray.
For information on setting this option, see the procedure Setting a Range
Value on page 5-12.
