as it is released. The Manifold Control screen is available from the Main
screen by pressing Menu > Diagnostics.
5.2.2. Removing or Adjusting Cannulas / Probes
The manifold of the apparatus may contain up to two cannulas and one
probe per vessel position depending on the options configured. To adjust
or remove these items, simply loosen the thumbscrew on the individual
position of the manifold and modify the location of the cannula / probe
accordingly.
5.2.3. Programming Manifold Depth
For a 708-DS that is configured with the Auto Sampling and/or AutoTemp
options, the appropriate Sampling Depth must be defined. This will
ensure the proper depth of the manifold is achieved to remove samples
and/or record vessel temperatures depending on the media volume and
apparatus installed (e.g. Paddles).
First, install the desired
apparatus (1, 2, 5, or 6)
and properly set the height
of the accessory.
Place the appropriate
amount of media in the
vessels. Lower the
dissolution apparatus to its
operating position.
From the Main screen of
the 708-DS, press Menu.
From the Menu screen,
press Calibration. The
Paddles/Baskets Sampling
Depth screen displays.

For Apparatus 5 or 6, press Next. The Rotating Cylinder / Paddle over
Disk Sampling Depth screen displays.
Lower the manifold incrementally by pressing the DOWN arrow inside the
Manifold box. The Current Position value increases. Once the sample
cannulas have reached the proper sampling location, press the Save
button that corresponds to the media volume and the installed apparatus.
