Waters 600 - Powering up the Stand-Alone 600 E System; Running Diagnostics; Powerup Self-Diagnostics

16 Basic Operation
2.1.2 Powering Up the Stand-Alone 600E System
This section contains the powerup sequence to follow when using the 600E system with
the stand-alone Gradient Controller configuration. To power up your stand-alone system:
1. Power up all external equipment (chart recorder, injector).
2. Power up the 600E system by pressing the On/Off switch on the front panel of the
600 controller to the 1 (On) position.
2.2 Running Diagnostics
This section provides an overview of the diagnostics available in your 600E system,
including:
• Powerup self-diagnostics
• Running extended diagnostics
2.2.1 Powerup Self-Diagnostics
During powerup, the controller automatically runs self-diagnostic tests and then displays
the Powerup screen (see Figure 2-1). The powerup self-diagnostics test each PowerLine
module in the Waters 600E system. These modules include:
• Waters 600 controller and 600E pump
• The following Waters detectors:
– Waters 410 Refractive Index Detector
– Waters 431/432 Conductivity Detector
– Waters 486 Tunable Absorbance Detector
– Waters 490E Programmable Multiwavelength Detector
• Waters 717plus Autosampler
If all tests run successfully, the Powerup screen indicates that the powerup diagnostic
status is “OK.”
