Environmental Express AutoBlock II - Manual (Page 19)

Section 5: Manual Mode
The manual mode is just what the name implies. In this mode digestion functions
(heating, cooling, raising/lowering elevators, injecting reagents, etc…) are
performed individually by the analyst. The manual mode is used in method
development, troubleshooting and on-going inspections, and other situations
where hands-on control of operations is required.

Motion Controls
You must Initialize the AutoBlock before using the motion controls.

Causes the elevators to raise or lower.

Moves the dispensing arm one column Left or Right. This includes to or from the
drain stations.
5.2 Reagent Addition
In the Manual mode you will see FIVE preinstalled reagents listed in the Reagent
Box. The
Port number next to the reagent must correspond to the inlet line
attached to the corresponding reagent bottle. If this is incorrect, wrong
reagents will be added to samples. (For the dual system, press the “Next” button
to choose reagents 6-10).
Example: the H2O bottle must be attached via reagent uptake line to Port #1,
AND H2O must be listed in the reagent box as using Port #1.
