Operation

This section describes how to control the VALVEMATE. You can control the

VALVEMATE using the front panel, contact closures, or Gilson Serial Input/Output

Channel (GSIOC).

Note: If a Rheodyne 5000-series valve is installed in the VALVEMATE, check and if

necessary, tighten the screws located on the front of the valve before each run. These

screws may loosen over time causing fluid to leak.
