7.15 TC Periodic Maintenance
• Clean the interior of the TC, using a lint-free cloth. Use paper to absorb any
liquid inside the module. The cleaner the module, the more effective the
sensors are at detecting excessive gas or humidity.
• Check for excess condensation inside the TC. Condensation may build up
when the TC is operated in a highly humid environment and the majority of
applications are run at cold temperatures. To remove condensation, run the TC
at its maximum temperature for at least 72 hours.
• Inspect the door seal for signs of damage. A defective seal impairs the
performance of the instrument. If the seal is defective, contact Dionex
Technical Support.
7.16 TC Annual Maintenance
• Dionex recommends performing preventive maintenance annually. A DC/TC
Preventive Maintenance Kit (P/N 061796) is available.
Some IC columns should not be operated at temperatures above 70 °C
(158 °F). Remove all columns from the TC before beginning the
maintenance procedure above.
