5.5.3 Adding Solvents to the Flow Meter Configuration

Relevant only for the NC pump
If the viscosity (Classic flow meters) or type (ProFlow flow meter) for the solvent that you
are using is not yet available in Chromeleon, proceed as follows:
• With the ProFlow flow meter, perform a solvent calibration for the solvent to be defined
in the flow meter and added in Chromeleon. See section 5.5.3.1 Performing a Solvent
Calibration below.
• With Classic flow meters, perform a viscosity measurement for the solvent to be added in
Chromeleon. See section 5.5.3.2 Performing a Solvent Viscosity Measurement on
page 115.
5.5.3.1 Performing a Solvent Calibration (ProFlow Flow Meter)
Relevant only for NC pump with a ProFlow flow meter
If the type of the solvent that you are using is not yet defined in the flow meter (→ page 69),
follow the steps below to calibrate the ProFlow flow meter for this solvent type and add the
solvent type to the list in Chromeleon.
Note the following:
• For solvent calibration, the solvent shut off valves need to be installed.
• During solvent calibration, select the respective pump block channel (left/right) of the
flow meter for which you want to calibrate the solvent. Solvent types are only available
in the block channel for which they are calibrated.
• The solvent calibration coefficients are saved in the flow meter. The coefficients are
individual and valid only for the specific flow meter and pump block channel that has
been used for the calibration. It is not possible to transfer the calibration coefficients to
another ProFlow flow meter or to a different block channel of the flow meter.
Tips: The steps below refer to Chromeleon 6.80.
In Chromeleon 7, perform the solvent calibration from the NC pump Wellness
page of the ePanel set by clicking Calibrate Solvent. The further procedure is
similar to the steps below. For more information, see the Chromeleon Help.
1. In Chromeleon, open a control panel and connect to the timebase in which the module
is installed (→ page 89).
