CHAPTER 2
2.1
The instructions provided below are provided for installation of the Switchos
Advanced Microcolumn Switching Unit as part of the LC Packings UltiMate
Capillary HPLC System as well as for installation of the instrument as a stand-
alone component in an HPLC system.
When the Switchos Advanced Microcolumn Switching Unit is used in conjunction
with the UltiMate system and the FAMOS™ Microautosampler, all instruments
are controlled by the CHROMELEON
included in the instrument network and the switching valves will be controlled by
a COM port of the PC.
If no additional COM port is available or if the Switchos is to be installed with
different or third-vendor software, please refer to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 for
information about how to control the switching valves by relay outputs. (e.g. the
Event outputs of the Switchos loading pump or the Auxiliaries of the FAMOS
Microautosampler, if present).
Once you have set up the Switchos, refer to Section 2.7 for information about
routine operation of the system.
Please refer to the user's manuals of the UltiMate system and the FAMOS
Microautosampler and the online help of CHROMELEON for additional
information.
