Administrate Reservoirs
Prepare the System
The software comes with two preconfigured reservoirs supplied
by Biotage that cannot be edited or deleted. To add, edit,
calibrate, transfer, and delete user-defined reservoirs, press
Menu, Data Administration and then Reservoirs (see Figure 18).
Monitoring using liquid level sensors is only possible when
using 250 mL or larger glass or plastic reservoirs that have
an inner height of 15 to 90 cm (5.9" to 35.4") and have been
calibrated on a Selekt or Selekt Enkel system.
Only reservoirs with the GL45 or 38-430 neck thread are
currently supported. An universal cap adapter supplied with the
liquid level sensors that can be ordered separately may be used
for other reservoirs; see page 7.
Note: Only users with system owner privilege can administrate
reservoirs.

Reservoir Parameters
The following reservoir parameters are available (see Figure 19):
»
Visible: If enabled, the reservoir is available for use.
»
Name: The name of the reservoir.
»
Capacity: The reservoir volume in mL.
»
Icon: The icon of the reservoir; see Figure 20. The icon
can help you to identify the correct reservoir when
assigning reservoirs to the solvent inlets and the waste
outlet (see Figure 24 on page 11). (Optional.)
»
Description: A description of the reservoir, e.g. material,
manufacturer, and part number. (Optional.)
»
Calibrated: The date and time when the reservoir
was calibrated. The result of the calibration can be
viewed by pressing
. To calibrate/recalibrate the
reservoir, see the instructions below. (Optional.)
Note: Only calibrated reservoirs can be used with the liquid
level sensors.

Calibrate a Reservoir
During the calibration, water will be dispensed into the reservoir
through the waste channel while the reservoir is monitored by
the waste sensor (port W on the hub). The Reservoir Calibration
Wizard will guide you through the whole process.
