5. To connect an air sensor to a system pump:
a. Connect tubing from the buffer bottle or from the outlet port on the one of
the buffer inlet valves to one port on the air sensor.
b. Connect tubing from the other port on the air sensor to the inlet port on the
corresponding system pump.
6. To connect air sensors to the buffer blending valve:
a. Connect tubing from each buffer bottle to one port on each air sensor that
will be used.
b. Connect tubing from the other port on each air sensor to the inlet ports on
the buffer blending valve.
Alternatively you can attach tubing from the outlets A and B of the buffer
blending valve to the top of the air sensors. Connect the ports from the bottom
of each air sensor to the inlets of system pumps A and B, respectively. In this
setup, although the air will be prevented from entering the system pumps and
the system will react to end of buffer, the system will not distinguish which of
the four ports needs replenishing.
To activate the air sensors
1. Start ChromLab.
The green LEDs on the air sensor module should turn on.
2. Select File > System Settings to open the System Settings dialog box.
3. Select the Air Sensors tab.
By default, only the air sensors that the system detects are enabled. The other
sensors are disabled.
4. For each air sensor that you want activate, select its checkbox and from its
dropdown list choose either Sample to detect end of sample or Buffer to detect
end of buffer.
5. Click OK.
