1.1 How to Use this Manual

The layout of this manual is designed to provide quick reference to the sections of interest
to the reader. However, in order to obtain a full understanding of your Thermo Scientific™
Dionex™ detector, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that you review the manual
thoroughly before beginning operation.
Almost all descriptions in the manual apply to the following variable wavelength detectors in
the UltiMate 3000 series:
• VWD-3100
• VWD-3400RS
The following conventions apply to the descriptions throughout this manual:
• The term "the detector" or "the device" is used throughout the manual. If some detail
applies to only one version, the detector is identified by name.
• If not otherwise stated, the descriptions for the Viper™ capillary connections apply also
to the nanoViper™ and possible other Viper capillary connections.
• The device configuration may vary. Therefore, not all descriptions necessarily apply to
your particular module.
• The representation of a component in this manual may be slightly different from the real
component. However, this does not influence the descriptions.
• The descriptions in this manual refer to firmware version 3.70 and Chromeleon™ 6.80
Service Release 13. If you want to operate the detector from Chromeleon 7, note the
information on page 30.
