QPatch Compact Manifold Recovery Guide

In case of unforeseen mechanical events, the manifold may

be jammed into a position where it will not release itself

during normal operation. Follow this guide to recover the

manifold via the built-in recovery function.

Start up and attempt homing

1. Read through guide

2. Close latches

3. Start up the QPC

4. Wait for homing

Please read the entire guide before starting the recovery process. Some steps

need to be monitored manually.

Open the instrument lid and ensure that

both latches are fully engaged.

If the manifold has been dislodged from the

interface module so latches cannot fully

close, make sure to push the manifold and

the interface module together as much as

possible without closing the latches.

Caution! Never use excessive force to

attempt closing the latches.

Turn on the instrument (on the left-hand side). Log in via the touchscreen using

your normal login credentials for the QPC database.

If the manifold releases itself during homing, remove the QPlate after homing is

done and proceed to checking manifold latches and verifying functionality.

If the manifold is stuck, the instrument will make a low-pitched humming during

homing and the "Preflight Check" status will stay in "Initializing QPlate slot". In

that event proceed to the next step.
