735s, 12m15s Notes: • The typical overall times above are also the minimum BioTector cycle time. • It is essential that the tube slopes gently back to the sample point, dips and rises in the sample tube increases the sample transport time.
If the sampler is not full when the timer times out, an error is generated. Note: The sampler remains in the Sampler Full condition, until reset by an empty command from the BioTector, or the [B] key on the PLC is held down for >2 seconds. www.BioTector.com...

The sample and reverse cleaning acid are pumped back into the sampler.
+ SAMPLER EMPTY TIME must be less than the BioTector Reaction Time This is not an issue for default settings but for applications with long sample lines or large sample lifts this time may exceed the BioTector Reaction Time and a REACTION DELAY will need to be added to the BioTector.
