Press the Right or Left soft keys
(',)
to select the
%
Upward parameter (the amount
of time the agitation bar remains in the up most position expressed as a percentage of
the agitation frequency).
Use the PARAMETER SETTING soft keys
(?&)
to increase or decrease the
%Upward parameter to the following: %Upward=
95%.
Turn the agitation on by pushing the Agitation
ON
soft key located to the right of the
Quest Controller Unit display. If solvent is splashing up onto the Upper Manifold,
readjust the height of the agitation bar
via
the agitation stops so that the magnets are
lower in the RVs
Let the Quest agitate for
-
5
strokes. Then using the PARAMETER SETTING soft
keys
(?$)
begin decreasing the %Upward value
by
1
%
per
5
strokes until the
%Upward=
90%.
Finally, decrease the
%
Upward from
90%
to
60%.
This is the agitation parameter
setting to be used during the synthesis
(Figure
13).

Agitation Parameters for the Quest 210 Tutorial Synthesis
Try using the Mix Speed Needle Valve located in the lower right hand corner of the
Quest Controller Unit. It is a good idea to experiment with this valve and understand
the effect it has on the agitation. Turning the valve to the right (clockwise) will
"Soften" or slow the agitation. Eventually the valve will close completely and the
agitation will stop. Turning the valve counterclockwise opens the valve. When the
valve is open completely the agitation is at its maximum speed.

Move the agitator up by pushing the Agitation UP soft key located to the right of the
Quest Controller Unit display.
Turn the Manifold Control Valves to "DRAIN GAS" and "CLOSED".

Use the white Teflon Drain Lever provided in the starter kit to drain all 10 RVs in
paraIle1. Slip the handle over a11 10 of the drain valves and pull the white lever down,
draining the 10
RVs into the Waste Tank. Allow the RVs to drain for
