8.4.2.6 6-way valve for Te-Fill
The Te-Fill option uses a bi-directional pump instead of the diluter to aspirate and
dispense large volumes of liquid, for example buffer solutions. The Te-Fill option
can be optionally provided with a 6-way valve, which allows you to switch between
six different liquid containers.
Specify the names of the liquids you want to use to the channels of the 6-way
valve. Click to add a new entry to the list. Click to delete the currently
selected entry. Click or to change the sort order of the entries.
The assigned names will then be shown in the Te-Fill pipetting commands in the
Channel / Liquid pull-down list.
See also see 8.4.2.4 “Te-Fill option”, 8-30.
8.4.2.7 Doorlocks
Freedom EVOware supports up to four electrically-operated doorlocks which are
fitted to the pipetting instrument and the doorlocks are arranged in groups. This
function is used to assigned each of the doorlocks to one of the four available
groups.
The doorlocks of all groups are locked automatically when starting or continuing a
script. The doorlocks of all groups are unlocked automatically when finishing,
pausing or aborting a script. See 2.6 “Safety Features of the Pipetting Instrument”,
2-4.
Doorlock panel
The Freedom EVO pipetting instrument is always fitted with two doorlocks
(Doorlock 1 and Doorlock 2) and they are permanently assigned to Doorlock
Group 1 (their assignment cannot be changed). A mechanical interlock
ensures that scripts and processes cannot be started unless the safety hoods
are closed and locked. Two additional doorlocks can be fitted to the pipetting
instrument to support special hardware arrangements.
Specify the required doorlock group assignment for doorlocks 3 and 4 by
choosing the required group from the list. Choose none if the additional
doorlocks are not fitted to your instrument.
8.4.2.8 Arm Initialization
Each time Freedom EVOware or an Freedom EVOware script or process is
started, the status of the instrument arms (LiHa, RoMa and PnP) and optional
devices (e.g. Te-MO and Te-VacS) is checked and they are initialized if necessary.
In addition, a full initialization sequence is carried out when Freedom EVOware is
started for the first time after powering up the instrument.
When the instrument arms are initialized, a sequence of movements is carried out
to determine the reference (zero) positions along the X, Y and Z axes. During the
full initialization sequence, the arms need to move fully to the rear of the
instrument to determine the zero position in the Y direction.
You can also initialize the instrument manually by clicking the Initialize button in
the toolbar (see 6.7 “Freedom EVOware Toolbar”, 6-18).
A progress bar shows the progress of the initialization:
