Machine Components
AGO is controlled using six buttons and a screen on the front of the machine. On the right side is a USB-C port for charging the batteries. On the rear side are three key components: a spindle that connects to the tank spindle to transfer rotation, a temperature sensor that measures the chemistry temperature throughout the process, and a gasket that creates a firm watertight seal with the tank.
Buttons
All AGO functions are accessed using six buttons and the screen. The buttons are divided into three groups:
Left side: UP, RIGHT, DOWN
Used to move through menus and change values on the current page.
Right side: BACK, FORWARD / START
Used to move between pages. The FORWARD / START button also starts the development process.
ON / OFF
Hold for 2 seconds to turn the device on or off. A brief press resets a specific setting or default program.
