during the program, press the Run/Stop key twice. The
pump will stop, and the LED display will read OFF,
indicating abortion of the fraction collection program.

press the lit Program Run key once. The pump will stop
and the program will be held. To resume the collection
program, press once again. Pressing the Run/Stop key
while the program is on hold will abort the fraction
collection scheme.

9. When the fraction collection program is complete, the

pump stops and the display reads "END." Press any key
to return to the ready mode.
