Revision 06/24/98 1.1 Argonaut Technologies Warranty Term The standard warranty agreement begins on the ship date of the Quest 2 10 Automated Solvent Wash Option and terminates 1 year from that date unless other contractual agreements have been arranged. 1.2 Who Is Protected This warranty may be enforced by the original purchaser only. 1.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies 1.4.1 Preparation and Installation Unless other contractual agreements have been arranged, it is the responsibility of the customer to unpack, move the equipment to its location and perform the installation as described in this manual. Contact your local Argonaut Technologies Representative for pricing of installation services by a qualified Argonaut Technologies Representative. Note: It is the customer's responsibility to retain original system packaging. 1.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies Safety is everyone's concern. Your laboratory has specific practices and policies designed to protect personnel from potential hazards, both obvious and hidden. When working with a Quest 2 10 with the Automated Solvent Wash Option we recommend that the following safety equipment be readily available: Fire extinguisher, eye wash station, safety shower, eye protection, lab coat, and hand protection.
Argonaut Technologies The following information provides space, electrical, gas, waste, and ventilation requirements for the Automated Solvent Wash Option. Adherence to the following will result in trouble free installation. Space Requirements 5.1 The space requirements for the ASW Controller Unit remain the same as the standard Quest and can be found in the Quest User Manual. The ASWM requires bench space that is 17 inches wide,22 inches deep and 18 inches tall within a fume hood.
Revision 06/23/98 5.3 Argonaut Technologies Gas Requirements The ASW Controller Unit can be configured to operate on either a single inert gas source or a combination of inert gas and compressed air. On the rear panel of the ASW Controller Unit are two gas inlet ports. One port requires a regulated 40-60 PSI source of high-purity (>99.98%) inert gas. This gas is used for delivering solvents and creating the inert reaction environment in the Reactor Unit.
.-irgonaut Technologies 6.1 Installation Parts Table 1 outlines the parts provided to install the Auto Solvent Wash Option: Part I, Part Descri~tion I Part Number / Note ..-. Ouantitv 1 I ASW Controller Unit 1 300382 or I When installed as part of an 300390 nrut;;:;;;; of original Controller Unit required. 300383 When installed as an upgrade, 3 Bottle Cap Assemblies are (ASWM) with 4 bottle cap assemblies .
Revision 06/25/98 Argonaut Technologies A. Attach the single end of the Gas Supply Assembly (Part Number 300453) to an inert gas source capable of providing a regulated output between 55-60 PSI. The other end of the Gas Supply Assembly has a tee with two quick disconnect fittings attached. Connect one quick disconnect fitting to the inert gas inlet and the other fitting to the compressed air inlet on the rear of the ASW Controller Unit.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies - ASWM Interface Harness connection 1 Lower Manifold Pressure connection (port 6) Figure 3 - ASW Controller Unit Front View The remaining connection that differentiates the ASW Controller Unit from the standard Controller Unit is an additional port on the front panel. In figure 3 this port is labeled "Lower Manifold Pressure connection (Port 6)". Locate the tubing labeled "MEM" in the Reactor Unit Umbilicus.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies Note: If this Automated Solvent Wash Option is being installed as part of an initial Quest install refer to the Quest User Manual for additional information concerning setup of the Reactor Unit. 9. If the Automated Solvent Wash Option was received as an upgrade to an existing Quest continue with step 10, otherwise proceed with step 11. 10.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies 12. Using Figure 5 as a guide, turn the valves on the top of the Bottle Cap Assemblies towards the vent port. This completes the installation of the Automated Solvent Wash Option. Before using the Automated Solvent Wash Option it is recommended that you perform the Automated Solvent Wash Operational Checkout. WARNING: Always vent the bottle prior to unscrewing the Bottle Cap Assembly.
On side A of the Reactor Unit install ten 5ml Reaction Vessels (RVs), turn the Control Valves to SOLVENT and VENT, and set the MANIFOLD toggle valve to the open (down) position. On side B of the Reactor Unit set both Control Valves and the MANIFOLD toggle valve to the CLOSED position. Ensure all Lower Manifold drain levers on both sides of the Reactor Unit are in the closed (up) position and rotate the Reactor Unit so you are facing side A.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies 8.1.1 ASWM Set-up Procedure Place the specified solvent bottles with safety carriers into the ASWM positions noted in Table 3. Remove the solvent bottle cap on the bottle in position A and insert the Teflon bottle seal. Install a new polyethylene SolventIReagent Inlet Filter onto the Solvent Bottle Cap pick-up line. Screw Bottle Cap Assembly A onto the bottle in position A. Repeat step 2 for bottle position B,C, and D.
Revision 06/24/98 8.3 Argonaut Technologies The Automated Solvent Wash Program The Automated Solvent Wash firmware can support up to 60 wash programs. A single program can have up to 25 lines, however, the total number of lines cannot exceed 120 in all wash programs added together. Automated Solvent Wash programs are entered using the menu driven software of the ASW Controller Unit. Using the AUTO SOLVENT WASH menu the User enters the following information: 1. Program number. 2. Reaction volume. 3.

The default entry for this parameter is 1 representing the first line of the program. B. R: Number of repetitive washes for the selected solvent. The default entry for this parameter is 3 representing 3 repetitions of this line of the program. C. S: Solvent position selected.

Pressing the MODE key exits and returns to the "OTHER FUNCTIONS" menu. B. Pressing the left arrow key returns to the previous location on the AUTO SOLVENT WASH menu. C. Pressing the right arrow key adds a new line to the end of the program. D.
Argonaut Technologies 8.5 Revision 06/24/98 Starting the Automated Solvent Wash Program Before starting the program, Check that the Control Valves on side B of the Reactor Unit are turned to CLOSED and CLOSED and that the MANIFOLD toggle valve is set to CLOSED. Rotate the Reactor Unit to side A, set the Control Valves to SOLVENT and UTILITY 2 and the MANIFOLD toggle valve to OPEN. Place the Glass Waste Tank below the Lower Manifold and open the Lower Manifold Drain Valves.
Revision 06/24/98 8.6 Argonaut Technologies Run Time Features When the Automated Solvent Wash program is running the flashing cursor aligns itself over the active parameter and counts down the remaining time. The exception is during purging when the flashing cursor remains in the Add location. Additionally the status of the program is displayed in the upper right corner of the display. See Figure 12 for four examples of what is shown on the display during Automated Solvent Wash operation.
Revision 06/24/98 Argonaut Technologies B. To edit the number of line repeats, press the left arrow key to scroll over to the Repeat (R) parameter. The value can now be increased or decreased using the PARAMETER SETTING (+ or -) keys. The line repeat value will show the number of repeats remaining to be executed. Any alterations will be added to the total repeats value the next time the program runs. 2.
Revision 06/24/98 8.7.1 Argonaut Technologies Solvent Bottle Depressurization The reason for storing the solvent bottles depressurized is to prevent the solvent from becoming saturated with gas. A solvent saturated with gas at 9 PSI may out-gas during a delivery causing uneven RV filling. Storing the solvent in a depressurized state results in significantly reduced absorption of gas and related uneven RV filling.
