Proper operating procedures
To ensure your separations module runs as designed, follow the operating
procedures and guidelines described in Chapter 3.
Reinitialize the system
It is good practice to reinitialize the system instruments at least once a week.
When the separations module and detectors are power-cycled (powered-off for
a minimum of one minute, and then powered-on), each instrument undergoes
a complete system initialization, including internal diagnostic tests and
verifications. This procedure helps ensure that the mechanical and electrical
components, as well as internal firmware, synchronize for proper operation.
Spare parts
Refer to Appendix C for spare parts information. Parts not included in
Appendix C are not recommended for replacement by the customer.
Caution:
• To avoid damaging electrical parts, never disconnect an electrical
assembly while power is applied to the separations module. Once
power is turned off, wait 10 seconds before you disconnect an
assembly.
• Practice proper electro-static discharge (ESD) protection to prevent
damage to internal circuitry. Do not touch integrated circuit chips or
other components that do not specifically require manual adjustment.
Warning: To prevent injury, always observe good laboratory practices
when you handle solvents, change tubing, or operate the separations
module. Know the physical and chemical properties of the solvents you
use. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents in use.
Warning: To avoid the possibility of electric shock, do not open the power
supply cover. The power supply does not contain user-serviceable parts.
