Explain valves and Actuators

Valves

1. Valve outer needle: Energizing the outer needle solenoid valve.
2. Sample control solenoid: Sample control solenoid fill sequence energized. The function of this solenoid is to build up a vacuum in the Westergren pipette before the aspiration starts.
3. V-Valve wash section: Pipette wash vacuum control valve, controls the main vacuum line between the wash-station and separator.
4. V-Valve fill section: Vacuum control fill-nozzle / sample probe, controls the main vacuum line between the fill nozzle cap and separator.

Actuators

1. Rinse actuator: Rinse solenoid active, rinse valve-block down.
2. Fill actuator: Fill solenoid active, fill valve-block down.
