reaction. The recommended time for REVERSE is approximately
FORWARD time plus 15 seconds. See Section
Pump Test
▪ The REVERSE time for a Manual Valve can only be activated if
an optional Manual Bypass Valve is installed in the system.
Manual Bypass Valve is used to return the previous sample into
drain.
▪ If a Sampler is programmed in Stream Program menu, system
automatically shows the Sampler time in this menu. The sampler
time should also be long enough to guarantee that the sampler
chamber is filled with fresh sample.
▪ When the user programs any SAMPLER, FORWARD and/or
REVERSE times, which exceeds the maximum allowable time,
BioTector generates the required INTERVAL time automatically
in the Reaction Time menu above. The maximum allowable time
is determined by the system from the System Program 1 settings
in System Program menu.

▪ If a sampler is used with the BioTector, SAMPLER is
programmed (YES).
programmable Sampler time will be displayed automatically in
the Sample Pump menu above.
BIOTECTOR
▪ In multi-stream systems, CONTROL determines the multi-stream
valve sequence to be controlled by either BIOTECTOR, or by an
EXTERNAL device, or by external STREAM INPUT signals.
▪ If the CONTROL is programmed as EXTERNAL, then both multi-
stream valve sequence and operation ranges have to be
controlled by an external device.
▪ If the CONTROL is programmed as STREAM INPUT, then the
multi-stream valve sequence is controlled automatically by the
Stream Input signals sent from an external device.

▪ START-UP RANGE (1 by default) defines the range BioTector
will use at the first reaction it starts up with. In multi-stream
systems, if none of the RANGE setting for stream sequence
below is programmed as AUTO, this function is automatically
hidden by the system.
NO
▪ If RANGE LOCKED (NO by default) is programmed as YES,
BioTector locks the operation range at the defined RANGE
above. In other words, the automatic range change function is
disabled with the YES setting.
▪ In multi-stream systems, if none of the RANGE setting for
stream sequence below is programmed as AUTO, this function
is automatically hidden by the system.
