Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual page 15

• Always replace blown fuses with original spare part fuses authorized by Thermo Fisher
Scientific.
• Replace faulty communication cables.
• Replace faulty power cords. Never use a power cord other than the power cords provided
for the device.
• Use only the original spare parts and accessories authorized for the device by Thermo
Fisher Scientific.
• When lifting or moving the detector, always lift the unit by the bottom sides or sides. Do
not lift the detector by the front panel door. This may damage the door.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the open front panel door. This may damage the door.
• After operation, rinse out buffers and solutions that form peroxides.
• Before switching from buffer to organic solution, rinse the analytical system thoroughly
with deionized or HPLC grade water.
• When switching to another solvent, ensure that the new solvent is miscible with the one
contained in the HPLC system. If the solvents are not miscible, the system can be
damaged, for example, by flocculation.
• If a leak occurs, turn off the instrument and remedy the situation immediately.
• Use only standard solvents (HPLC grade or fluorescence grade for highest sensitivity)
and buffers that are compatible with all parts that may be exposed to solvents.
• Before interrupting operation for several days or more or when preparing the detector for
transport, observe the precautions for shutting down the detector (→ page 93).
• Do not use the detector in ways other than those described in these Operating
Instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions near the device to be available for quick reference.
