To run the program without saving
it, just push START. To save this
program, push the left arrow key
until you are at the top level, then
push the up or down arrow keys
until you are at Save Program.
Then rotate the knob to select the
desired program number. You can
then begin the program by pushing
START.
While the program is running,
parameters can be changed by
pressing
PAUSE, editing the
program parameters, and then
pressing
START/PAUSE again.
These changes will affect future
operations, but not the operation in
progress. However, you can change
the current rocking speed by
rotating the jog wheel.
When the program has finished, a
beeping sound will occur (if the
audible alert is enabled). Buffer or
reagent will remain in the tray (the
last drain does not occur) and the
platform will continue to rock so that
the sample does not dry out. To run
the instrument again, simply press
START once more.
CHANGING BOTTLES
It is easy to disconnect the tubing
from the bottles. First tighten the
cap to ensure that no liquid will spill
when you carry the bottle. (There is
a valve in the One>Click™ bottle
caps that remains closed when the
tubing is not connected to prevent
spills.) Next, press on the metal
button of the fitting at the end of
the tubing, as shown in the figure
below, and simply pull the fitting
away from the bottle cap.
To disconnect the tubing from the cap,
press the metal tab (arrow).
To reconnect, simply slide the fitting
at the end of the tubing over the
fitting on the One>Click™ bottle
cap. You will hear a click when the
connection is made. Don’t forget to
loosen the cap before running the
Freedom Rocker™.
CHANGING TUBE SETS
It is easy to remove and/or replace
the tube set—no tools are required.
The fittings at the ends of the tube
set are quick release and only two
quick release pins (with ring tabs)
retain boomerang-shaped backers
which sit behind the tubes so the
tubes can be compressed by the
pump.
When installing or removing tubing,
to open the pinch valves to remove
or insert a particular tube, manually
run Fill or Drain with the volume
set to 0 mL. Repeat for all three
positions.
