Operation And Maintenance; Power-Up - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

5 Operation and Maintenance

The TCC can be controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System. For
details, see section 5.3 (→ page 61).
In addition, function keys and menus are available on the front panel display to facilitate
operation during, for example, initial installation, diagnostics, and maintenance, allowing you
to perform certain actions directly from the TCC:
• Executing certain commands (turning temperature control on and off)
Setting parameters (leak sensor mode, target temperature for column thermostatting)
•
• Viewing diagnostic information
• Viewing and changing the device configuration
For details, see section 5.4.2 (→ page 68).

5.1 Power-Up

To start the TCC for the first time, turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of the
TCC. The following sequence of events occurs when the TCC is powered up:
• For a short time, general information about the TCC appears on the front panel display:
device type, serial number, and bootloader and firmware versions.
• The TCC runs a series of internal tests. 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 60).
If an error is detected, the TCC is not ready for analysis. The Status LED on the front
•
panel door changes to red and a message appears on the TCC display. If the TCC is
operated from Chromeleon, the message is also displayed in the Chromeleon Audit Trail.
Turn off the TCC, take appropriate remedial action (→ page 87), and turn on the TCC
again.
For routine operation of TCC, leave the main power switch on. For routine on/off control,
use the standby button on the front (→ page 18). Press and hold the button for about one
second to allow the TCC to change the mode. Turn off the main power switch when
instructed to do so, for example, before performing a service procedure.
