Operation
When loading the turntable, the digestion vessels should be placed as
symmetrically as possible. Use the guide displayed on the Digestion Review screen
of the Titan controller to help with vessel placement. A vessel must always be
inserted in the position marked "1" and the remaining vessels can then be arranged
symmetrically.
Any unused positions on the turntable should have their corresponding positions
on the gas containment manifold sealed with the supplied blind stoppers in order
to ensure the proper operation of the gas containment manifold. Each vessel must
be securely connected to the gas containment manifold by gently tightening the
thumbscrew on the gas containment manifold over the threads on the vessel cap.
Figure 5-5. Do not cross-thread the Gas Containment Manifold connectors
Note
The caps of the vessels do not need force to be tightened. Lightly
tightening by hand is all that is required for reliable performance.
Note
Do not cross-thread or over tighten the thumbscrews on the gas
containment manifold. The thumbscrews should engage smoothly and
with little force when the manifold tube and the cap are correctly aligned.
If the threads seem tight or will not engage, stop and reposition the vessel
or the gas containment manifold slightly to re-align the tube and the cap.
