4 Preparation for Operation (Startup)

4.1 Overview of Actions

Important:
Important:
After you have unpacked, positioned and connected the detector as described in sections
3.1 through 3.4 (→ page 33 and following), prepare the detector for operation. Follow the
sequence of steps below:
1. The detector is shipped with a dummy flow cell. Before initial operation of the
detector, replace the dummy cell with a flow cell that is appropriate for your
application (→ page 126 ).
2. Connect drain tubing (→ page 51).
3. Connect the detector to the separation column.
4. VWD-3100 only
Install the optional tungsten lamp if applicable (→ page 119).
5. If you want to operate the detector with Chromeleon
Set up the detector in Chromeleon if it is not already set up (→ page 41).
6. Turn on the detector (→ page 56).
7. Check and change the leak sensor setting if necessary (→ page 82).
8. Adjust the brightness and contrast of the detector display if necessary (→ page 83).
9. As an alternative, you can connect either a DAC plug-in board or a pH and
conductivity monitor:
a) If you want to connect additional evaluation devices to the detector
Install the DAC plug-in board (→ page 38) and configure the analog outputs
(→ page 40).
b) If you want to connect an additional pH and conductivity monitor to the detector
Install the PCM-3000 and configure it in Chromeleon (→ PCM-3000 installation
instructions).
10. Before using the module for sample analysis, equilibrate the entire system
(→ page 52).
Operating Instructions
VWD-3100 and VWD-3400RS Variable Wavelength Detectors
Two locks on the bottom of the detector secure the optics during
shipment (→ Fig. 8, page 34). Loosen these locks before you operate
the detector for the first time.
Deux vis sur le dessous de détecteur fixent le systeme optique durant
le transport (→ Fig. 8, page 34). Avant de commencer à utiliser le
détecteur, assurez-vous que vous avez desserré ces vis.
