3.10 MODEL 1327 CHART RECORDER CONNECTIONS

The Model 1327 chart recorder is optional. It may be positioned on the rack shelf or on the bench.

1.

Connect System Cable 2 between the Workstation and the recorder as follows:
a. The mini-DIN connector is connected to the connector marked “UV Chart” on the rear of the

Workstation. Refer to Figures 3-4 and 3-5.

b. The DIN connector is connected to the single DIN connector on the side of the chart recorder.

This cable provides system control of pen up/down, event marks and paper advance, but chart
speed MUST be set on the recorder faceplate itself.

2.

Conductivity signals are recorded on channel 2 of the recorder using System Cable 4 as follows:
a. The mini-DIN connector is connected to the connector marked “Cond. Chart” on the rear of the

Workstation. Refer to Figures 3-4 and 3-5.

b. The banana plugs are connected to the connectors marked CH 2 on the side of the recorder

(red wire to +, black wire to ground | ).

3.

Set both channel inputs on the recorder to 1V. Set all other switches to their position marked in
green. Connect the power adapter to the chart recorder.

3.11 COMPLETING SYSTEM SETUP

Once you have completed the system setup, turn the units around. Connect the USB cable to the USB
Bitbus communicator and connect the instrument bus cables. Plug in the power cords, and turn on the
system. In certain laboratory environments, an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) may be required. Bio-
Rad offers both 110 V and 220 V UPS configurations; consult your local Bio-Rad representative.

3.11.1 DuoFlow System Network Connections

The DuoFlow system can be connected to an Ethernet network, allowing you to print reports and export files
over the network. Refer to the documentation provided with your PC computer for details on cable
connection and software setup. Contact your site administrator to ensure proper communication and access
with the existing network.

3.11.2 System Power Up

Power up the system. The following is intended as a checklist of instruments and devices that may be
connected to the system. The sequence is not important, although it is best to power on the Controller last.

1. Turn on power to the DuoFlow Workstation.

2. Turn on power to the Maximizer, if in use.

3. Turn on power to the following devices and instruments, if they are available:

a. Power up the QuadTec using the power switch on the rear of the detector.

The QuadTec detector goes through a startup routine, self-test, and lamp calibration routine.

b. Power up the auxiliary pump. Auxiliary pumps include the EP-1 Econo pump and the Econo

Gradient Pump (EGP).

c. Power up the fraction collector. Fraction collectors include the BioFrac, the Model 2110, and the

Model 2128.

4. Power up the Controller. At this point, the DuoFlow software application may be launched.

5. When the DuoFlow Controller establishes communication with the system, the faceplate in the

Manual screen and the status bar at the bottom of the screen show which devices and instruments
are connected and communicating with the system. The system is ready for operation.
