4.9 Equilibrate the System and Verify Operational
Readiness
NOTE Sample preparation can be performed while the system
is equilibrating.
1. On the Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress Control panel, view the detector
signal and monitor the background. Refer to the column manual for the
appropriate background for your application. The column manuals are
included on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891).
2. Offset the background and zero the reading by clicking the Autozero button.
3. Verify that the detector baseline is at the expected reading for your application
and is stable. See Section 8.11
for troubleshooting information if the reading
is too high. See Section 8.2
for troubleshooting information if the baseline is
drifting or is excessively “noisy” (there are large fluctuations in readings).
4. Verify that all installed temperature control devices are at their set points and
are stable.
5. Monitor the DP/SP pressure and make sure it is at the expected reading for the
installed column and it is stable.
The system is now ready for operation.
