Diagnostic Tests
Heater Test
The Heater Test is a diagnostic test to verify the correct functioning of the heating 
element of the Integrated Column Compartment (ICC). It measures the heating 
rate of the column oven and compares it against the threshold value. The test 
takes less than 1
 min to complete and returns a pass/fail type result.
For the test to start, the actual temperature in the column oven must be equal to 
or below 60
 °C. If the temperature is above 60 °C, the heater turns off and the 
system waits until the starting condition is reached.
To circumvent any negative effect on the test result, the Sample Cooler/Sample 
Thermostat is turned off for the duration of the test if present.
