Shutting Down the Detector

6.9.1

Short-Term Shutdown (Interruption of Operation)

Charged Aerosol Detectors Corona Veo (RS) Operating Manual
If the detector will not be operated for some time, follow the
instructions on shutting down the detector in this section.
If the detector is not used for a few days, allow the detector to remain
connected to the system, and the detector and system to be turned on.
To interrupt operation of the detector for a short period (short-term
shutdown), for example, overnight, observe these guidelines for the
detector:
•
Check that sufficient gas is available to continue gas flowing through
the detector. This is to prevent any build-up of residue from solvents
or analytes. Gas must be flowing when pump flow is delivered to the
detector.
•
Keep the detector connected to the system flow path.
•
Turn off the pump flow.
•
If you operate the detector from a chromatography data system,
keep the detector connected to the data system.
When resuming operation, let the flow equilibrate and verify that the
operating parameters for the other system modules are set as required
before proceeding.
