    • Set the sample bottle to 12 for easier verification. And then press Enter.

    • Screen should say "Bottle 12 After 20 Pulses"

    • Plug in the 6-pin connector to the autosampler. The yellow LED should light up immediately.

    • Touch the jumper wire to the LED attached to the white wire 20 times. This wire is for sending pulses to the autosampler.

    • You will see the pulse count decreasing on the LCD screen.

    • You will hear the autosampler making noises as it moves to bottle 12. You will then see the green LED flash 12 times to indicate the 12th bottle.

  8. Autosampler Node Troubleshooting (For New & Old Versions), Trigger autosampler with 6-pin connector: passo 8, imagem 1 %32
    • You will see the LCD start indicating the sampling steps. Press Stop.

    • If these steps work as outlined, you have successfully tested the autosampler with the 6-pin connector and the autosampler is working correctly.

    • If the LEDs did not work or the sampler does not start the sampling process, something may be wrong with the autosampler wiring.

  9. Autosampler Node Troubleshooting (For New & Old Versions), Check wiring: passo 9, imagem 1 %32
    • 8. Confirm there are no breaks in the wiring between the interface board the autosampler. See this tutorial for more details.

    • Click here to watch a video of how to trigger the autosampler with the node battery.

    • Disconnect the relay board from the Open-Storm board.

    • Connect a red, black, and white jumper wire into the pluggable header (that was attached the board).

    • Connect a XX resistor in the same holes as the black and white wires. Resistors are blind to the polarity in a circuit. So you don't have to worry about installing them backwards.
