5 Operation and Maintenance

The detector can be controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
For details, see section 5.4 (→ page 64) and the following.

5.1 Power-Up

To start the detector for the first time, turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of
the detector. The following sequence of events occurs when the detector is powered up
• For a short time, general information about the detector appears on the display: device
type, firmware version, and serial number.
• The detector runs a series of internal tests. (The test takes about 30 seconds.) During
these self-diagnostics, all of the main components are checked. When the self test was
successful, the initial screen changes to the status screen (→ page 55).
If an error is detected, the detector is not ready for analysis. The Status LED on the front
•
panel is red and a message appears on the front panel display. If the detector is operated
with Chromeleon, the message appears also in the Chromeleon Audit Trail. Turn off the
detector, take appropriate remedial action (→ page 97), and turn on the detector again.
• If the message "Not calibrated" appears, verify that a flow cell is installed and execute the
Calibrate command in Chromeleon.
For routine operation, leave the main power switch on. For routine on/off control, use the
standby button on the front of the TCC (→ page 21). Press and hold the button for about
one second to allow the detector to change the mode. Turn the main power switch off when
instructed to do so, for example, before performing a service procedure.
