Attaching the Manifold
Please control the provided manifold, specially the connections of the provided tubes to the
manifold. If you are going to use only some of the twelve tubes, please connect the useless
tubes to Ringer solution, for example, but do not leave the manifold connections open.
The manifold is fixed via magnetic forces to the housing of the slide of the Roboflow. Adjust the
manifold in a deviation of about 15 degrees to minimize the distance to the tube connection.
Attaching the Tubing to the Valves
Twelve valves regulate the compound flow. Only one valve may be open at a time. Open a valve
by hand or by a software command.
Take one end of tube which is connected to the manifold and insert it gently through the slot on
the right side of the valve. Press the valve with your fingertip to open it manually. Do not insert
the tube to close, it needs scope for moving with the slider forward and backward. Use the plastic
tube guides to secure the tubings inside of the valve slits. Proceed in this manner for all twelve
valves. If you are going to use only some of the tubes, please connect the useless tubes to Ringer
solution, for example, but do not leave single manifold connections open.
