Please note: The descriptions below refer to Chromeleon 6.80.
4.1 General
The modules of the UltiMate 3000 system can be controlled by the Chromeleon
Chromatography Management System. To control the modules, a suitable Chromeleon
version (e.g., 6.50 Service Pack 10, 6.60 Service Pack 6, 6.70 Service Pack 3, or 6.80) and a
Timebase Class 1 Chromeleon license are required. (If you have any questions, please contact
your Dionex sales representative.)
Dionex recommends that you follow the installation steps below:
• Install the Chromeleon software before connecting the system modules to the USB port on
the Chromeleon server PC. This will ensure that most of the necessary USB drivers are
copied to appropriate locations.
• Connect the solvent rack to the 15-pin D-sub port on the pump.
• Connect the modules to each other. Use the USB cables that are shipped with the modules.
Dionex recommends connecting all modules to one "central module" (e.g. the autosampler)
and connecting this module to the Chromeleon Server PC (→ Fig. 2, page 8).
• Power up the "central module". The Plug&Play Manager (Hardware Wizard) guides you
through the remaining USB installation for this module. Continue with powering up and
installing the other USB modules. For more information about the USB installation steps,
refer to the Operating Instructions for the modules.
• Install and configure the system modules in the Chromeleon Server Configuration program
as described in the Operating Instructions for the module. You can add the modules in any
order to the timebase. However, some settings affect more than one module. Therefore, the
preferred order of installation is as follows (→ Fig. 25, page 48):
- Flow Manager (FLM-3x00)
- Pump (DGP-3600M or MB, LPG-3400M or MB):
Assign a flow splitter in the flow manager to a pump (→ section 4.2, page 49).
- Autosampler (WPS-3000):
Synchronize the injection with the pump (→ section 4.4, page 53).
- Detector (VWD-3x00)
- Solvent Rack (SRD-3x00): No configuration needed
