Eliminating Leakage In The Solvent Rack - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

7.3 Eliminating Leakage in the Solvent Rack

The leak sensor is installed inside the SRD and reports a leak when liquid collects in the
drip tray under the fluid connections. Locate the source for the leak, eliminate the cause,
and dry the leak sensor.
1. Inspect the degasser inlets and degasser outlets, and the connected solvent supply lines
for signs of leaks. Tighten or replace leaking connections if necessary.
2. Dry the components.
3. With a cloth or tissue, absorb all liquid that has collected in the tray. Make sure that
you do not bend or damage the sensor.
If the SRD is operated from the pump of the UltiMate 3000 system, the message remains
on the pump display for information purposes even after the source for the leak has been
eliminated. Select Clear on the navigation bar on the pump display to remove the
message.
4. Allow the sensor to adjust to the ambient temperature for a few minutes.
5. If no errors are reported, operation can be resumed.
Tip: If the sensor is not dry, the Status LED remains red.
