Interlocks, priming, purge, leak control, stock identification, tube replacement and cleaning for the dosing subsystem.

In brief

Interlocks, priming, purge, leak control, stock identification, tube replacement and cleaning for the dosing subsystem.

## Mandatory interlocks

 |
 Condition | Automatic response

 | Invalid or stale sensor | block feedback correction
 | Reservoir below minimum level | block concentrated stock dosing
 | Reservoir above maximum level | block water addition
 | Calibration expired | block volumetric automatic dosing
 | Maximum dose/runtime exceeded | stop channel and latch fault
 | Mixing delay active | block second feedback action
 | Stock mismatch | reject recipe execution
 | Cover/service state unsafe | disable pump motion where required
 | Communication loss | outputs return to defined safe state
 | Leak detected | stop all liquid actuators and alert

## Tube lifecycle

Tube service life is not published as a fixed 1,000-hour value unless validated for the exact tube, occlusion, fluid, speed and duty cycle. Replacement is triggered by calibrated-flow drift, visible damage, loss of occlusion, contamination risk or the validated service threshold.

## Cleaning record

cleaning_id, system_id, channel_id, cleaning_agent,
concentration, contact_time, rinse_volume, verification_method,
operator, timestamp, next_allowed_fluid_class

## FlavoRotor design provenance

 The system-specific configuration on this page is traced to the supplied FlavoRotor engineering records. [I03]
