Page 28
Note: When loading tubes, ensure that:
The vacuum joint is correctly positioned in its slot on the holder.
The blocking plate is centered on the holder and rests on the
vacuum joint. A coding device helps to put it in place.
6.2.4 Closing the lid
Tilt the lid until the locking handle engages in its clasp.
6.2.5 Running a grinding protocol
After confirming the start of a grinding protocol with the «Start» button, the
vacuum system lowers the blocking plate.
When the tubes are correctly locked in place (when the pressure is low
enough), the protocol begins and the green light flashes.
The timer (in seconds) displays the time remaining before the complete end
of the programmed protocol.
6.2.6 End of the grinding protocol
Wait for the system to come to a complete stop before
opening the lid.
At the end of a grinding protocol, the system returns to the «Protocol
settings» menu. The vacuum under the blocking plate stops a few seconds
after the system stops: the blocking plate cannot be removed from the tube
holder as long as the vacuum is not fully released.
Note :
The time and speed cannot be changed when the instrument is running.
In order to avoid overheating of the device, the
Precellys® Evolution Touch is equipped with a safety
system that prevents the device from operating at
high motor temperatures. If this happens, let the
device cool down before using it.
6.2.7 Stopping the grinding protocol
Wait for the system to come to a complete stop before
opening the lid.
During the cycle, the user can stop the current cycle at any time by pressing
the «Stop» button.
