Use the error log
In the error log, view the status messages and warnings that the separations
module generated. You can view or print the information to help track
possible problems that occurred during system operation.
Requirement: To print the error log, connect a serial printer to the RS-232
serial port on the separations module’s rear panel (see “RS-232 connections”
on page 75).
Press the Log screen key in the Main screen to display the Error Log screen.
The Error Log screen displays the last 10 messages in chronological order
with the most recent message at the bottom of the screen. Use the Page key or
the up arrow key to view older messages. The error log can save as many as
100 messages.
Press the Refresh screen key to display any messages logged since the screen
was last accessed.
If printing is configured, press the Print screen key to print the error log to a
printer configured for the separations module.
Caution: To prevent circuit damage due to static charges, do not touch
integrated circuit chips or other components that do not specifically
require manual adjustment.
Warning: To avoid electric shock,
• never disconnect an electrical assembly while power is applied to the
separations module. Once power is turned off, wait approximately ten
seconds before you disconnect an assembly.
• do not open the power supply cover. The power supply does not
contain user-serviceable parts.
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.
