Event switches
Switches 1 through 4 on connector A can serve as contact-closure switches to
control column selection valves, fraction collectors, or similar external devices.
Each pair of switch terminals (the two switch 1 terminals, for example)
connects to an external device. You can operate the switches in either of two
ways:
• Manually, from the Status screen
• Automatically, in a separation method using the timed table in the I/O
screen
See “Set I/O parameter values” on page 162 for information on using switches
in an automated run.
The following table describes the functions associated with each position of an
event switch.
