5. Operation
The RUN OPTIONS function displays the options
with which the current program is started.
• LEVEL TEST enabled:
The lower level sensor in the retort is acti-
vated. The program is stopped with an error
message if the level is not reached.
• WAVE MOTION activated:
During each infiltration step, the reagent is
periodically pumped from the bottle to the re-
tort and back to achieve a more evenly mixed
blend. The first pump step begins after 16 min,
afterwards regularly after 12 min.
• PRE-TEST activated:
After the program is started, the retort is filled
and drained with the first reagent in the infil-
tration program (to test whether all lines and
valves are unobstructed).
• STIRRER activated:
The magnetic stirrer is on.
• PRINTER, if activated:
At the end of the program, a complete run
log covering the entire program execution is
output at the printer.
