To set the separations module to the Controlled via RS-232 (ASCII) or
(Binary) mode:

Enter to display a list of operating modes.
2. Select Controlled via RS232 (ASCII) or Controlled via RS232 (Binary),

Tip: If you experience repeated problems when using a third-party data
system, reconfigure the separations module to No Interaction mode. If the
problem persists, refer to the appropriate section of this guide. If the problem
occurs when using a third-party data system, but not when the instrument is
configured in No Interaction mode, contact the data system’s vendor.
Prepare the solvent management system
The separations module is designed to provide a pulse-free, accurate, and
precise flow of solvent. For optimal performance, perform these tasks:
• Properly prepare the solvent reservoirs
• Use degassed solvents
• Prime the solvent management system
• Prime the plunger seal-wash pump
