4.6.2 Installing a Separation Column

Three column brackets are installed in the column chamber at the factory. Attach the
columns to the brackets using the special column clips from the NCS accessories kit.
1. A column clip consists of two pieces. To remove the ring from the bottom part,
slightly press the ring in the direction of the arrows.
2. Self-adhesive foam pads are shipped together with the column clips. To protect the
column, attach one pad to the inside of each bottom part.
3. Do not touch any metal or plastic parts inside the column chamber while the
temperature is higher than 50 °C. Before carrying out any work in the column
compartment, wait for the column chamber to cool down.
To shorten the cool-down time, consider setting a lower temperature and opening the
front panel door.
4. Attach the bottom part of the clip to the bracket and turn it 90° clockwise.
