runs.
Fraction collector F9-R can be used for:
•Time or volume based fractionation
•Peak fractionation
•Combined time or volume based fractionation and peak fractionation
It is possible to install up to two Fraction collector F9-R modules when using ÄKTA pure.
ÄKTA avant has a built-in fraction collector, and it is possible to install one Fraction
collector F9-R as an extra module.
Note: If two fraction collectors are to be used, the second one must be configured as
Fraction collector F9-R 2nd, independent of the first fraction collector type.

Connect the Fraction collector
Connect the UniNet cable between any of the UniNet-9 ports on the back of the
instrument and on the back of the Fraction collector F9-R or Fraction collector F9-R, 2nd.
Make sure that all unused UniNet-9 ports on the instrument are plugged.
Node ID
Node ID is a unit number designation that is used by the instrument to distinguish
between several units of the same type. All standard valves and available optional
modules are pre-configured to give the desired function. However, the function of a valve
or module can be changed by changing the Node ID.
Also, in a troubleshooting situation it may be useful to check the Node ID of the
respective valve or module.
Note: The function of a valve or module is defined by a combination of the module
type and its Node ID, not by its physical position.
Check/change Node ID
The Node ID is set by positioning the arrow of the rotating switch at the back of the
Fraction collector. Use a screwdriver to set the arrow of the switch to the desired
number.
