delivered in the accessories kit (DISW4033).

1. Remove the carrousel and the altuglas cover.

2. Place 2 dishes into the

transfer disk.

Lids should be at the same level.

If they aren’t, an adjustment of the deflector under the sliding plate is required.

3. Place one or two wedge(s) onto the

transfer disk to identify the number of
wedges required.

4.Once identified, remove the transfer disk and

unloose the 2 screws holding the deflector on
the sliding plate.

13
 5. Turn over the sliding plate
and slide the wedge(s)
between the deflector and
the sliding plate.

6. Place the transfer disk

and the sliding plate back on.
7. Tighten the deflector’s screws.
8. Place 2 dishes into the transfer disk.
9. Check that lids are at the same level following this adjustment,
10. Place the altuglas cover.

This adjustment needs to be check again if the reference of the dishes has been
changed or evolved.

24
Screen interface testing

To check the screen operational order, you can first have a look at the status pictogram

on screen:

The communication with the automate board is ok.

The automate board communication needs to be checked.

The memory card is in good operating order.

The memory card needs to be replaced or reprogrammed.

If the communication between the HMI and automate board is fail :

1. Check the wire between the HMI and the Automate Board ( Yellow and Blue wire)

25
2. If connection is ok, check the automate board input power supply (24 VDC).
3. If the input power supply is present, check that the light is powered on the
automate board.

Checking the e-trace

1. Check that the red led on the e-trace board is turned on.

2. A red led indicates that the e-trace board is properly powered.

If not, check the 5V DC input power supply of the e-trace board. (Wires red
and Black from the 5V DC Power supply)

3. When switching on the device, check that a green led is lighting up close
to the red led, for the first 15 seconds.

4. This green led indicates the processor’s activity.

5. If this green led does not light up, replace the SD card by a newly
programmed card.

6. If the led still does not light up, replace the e-trace board.

26
Stirring device testing
Checking the stirring device operation

1. On the touch screen, check that the pictogram indicates that the stirring
device is present and identified by the screen interface.

2. Should the pictogram be absent:

connection to the stirrer board
b. Check connections 5 et 6 (power supply 5 VDC).

You can test the stirring device by starting it from the touch screen.

1. Select the PARAMETERS menu and go into MAINTENANCE.

2. Enter “A” as the access code.

3. Press “Stirring cycle” to start

testing.

27
• If stirring is ok, while it does not work properly in cycle, communication
between the stirring device and the automate PCB encounters a problem.
Check connection cables outside the device (RS232) and connection to the
stirring device. (Connections 1 and 2). For check the good working of the
command, you can manually make a short between the connections 1 and 2.
It should induce the activation of the stirrer.

• If stirring does not start, check the stirring device itself.

Check the initializing sequence when switching on the Distriwel.
Flags on optical sensors should move. The orange led should light up, then
goes off when the flag withdraws. If not, the stirring device needs to be
replaced.

28
 Checking the suction pad

1. Select the PARAMETERS menu and go into MAINTENANCE.

2. Enter “A” as the access code.

3. Press “Go up” to start testing.

4. Check that the suction pad bends.

If it does not, check the integrity of it.

Replace the o’ring seal if required. Please refer to specific instructions
delivered by ALLIANCE BIO EXPERTISE.

29
Power supply testing

Screen power supply Device Power Supply

Checking the device power supply

• Check the 220 V AC input on the power supply block.

• Check the 24V DC output on the power supply block.

Checking the screen power supply

• Check the 24 V DC input on the screen supply block.

• Check the 5V DC output on the screen supply block.

30
Resetting the device

Please note that resetting the device leads to the deletion of the transfer disk and
carrousel adjustments, as well as calibration settings.

1. Select the PARAMETERS menu and go into MAINTENANCE.

2. Enter “service” as the access code.

3. Press to open the

Service 2 page.

4. Press to select
