accessed using this menu.

Start Stop

The user can Start or Stop the BioTector using the Start Stop menu.
1. Remote Standby. Remote Standby is an optional function, which is activated from Input 19 (by default) on
the Signal PCB (e.g. from a flow switch). A "REMOTE STANDBY" message is displayed on the top left
corner of the main Reaction Data screen to indicate that the BioTector is in remote standby state. When
remote standby signal is activated, the BioTector stops analyzing. All menu access and operational
functions remain as for BioTector normal running state. The BioTector runs one standby reaction every 24
hours, at the time programmed for the Pressure/Flow Test (at 08:15 AM by default). Sample is not taken
during the remote standby reaction (only acid and base reagents are used). This reaction is tagged as "RS"
(Remote Standby) in the system reaction archive. The 4-20mA signal or other output devices are not
updated. When remote standby signal is deactivated, the BioTector starts analyzing.
When remote standby signal is activated, the "Finish & Stop" or "Emergency Stop" must be selected before
using such functions as Install New Reagents, Zero and Span Calibrations, Process Tests etc. If the
BioTector is stopped using the "Finish & Stop" or "Emergency Stop" functions or automatically by a system
fault, it will not be possible to start the BioTector by the removal of the remote standby signal. The "Start"
function must be used to re-start the BioTector. When BioTector is started while the remote standby signal
is activated, BioTector goes into remote standby state. The manual grab sample analysis can be carried out
normally using the Manual Program menu when the BioTector is in remote standby state.
Caution
Maintenance should only be carried out when "SYSTEM STOPPED" message
is displayed on the top left corner of the main Reaction Data screen or when
the system is powered down. When "REMOTE STANDBY" or "SYSTEM
RUNNING" message is displayed on the screen, stop the BioTector using the
"Finish & Stop" or "Emergency Stop" function.
