System Wellness, Predictive Performance, And Diagnostics - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

2.12 System Wellness, Predictive Performance, and Diagnostics

System Wellness monitors the health of the detector. Therefore, the detector supports
several performance and reliability features that can help you detect small problems before
they turn into big ones:
• Internal monitoring of all mechanical operations
• Automatic self test upon power up
• Monitoring the lamp age (→ page 108)
• Flow cell identification and documentation of the flow cell type (→ page 63)
• Leak sensor (→ page 25)
• General information for detector diagnostics (→ page 63)
When an error is detected, the Status LED on the front panel is red and a message appears on
the detector display (→ page 98).
In Chromeleon, additional functions for estimating the lifetime of consumables and
monitoring and recording service and (re)qualification information (= predictive performance;
→ page 92) are available to check the performance of the UltiMate 3000 system and certain
system components, and the overall performance of the instrument.
