Remove side panel of separations module

Some maintenance procedures, such as sample loop and needle and seal-pack replacement,
require that you remove the side panel of the separations module to access internal components.
Note: This section only applies if you are using the column heater or column heater/cooler option
and need to remove that unit to access the side panel on the separations module. If you are not
using this option, consult the appropriate maintenance item for side panel removal instructions.
Required materials
Screwdriver, T-20 TORX
To access and remove the side panel:
1. Power-off the separations module.
2. Disconnect these cables:
• Ethernet and power cord from rear of detector
• External control cable and power cord from rear of column heater or column
heater/cooler
• Power cord from rear of separations module
3. Remove the detector from its base and set it aside.
4. Remove the following tubing from the detector drip tray:
• Release the tubing from the routing clip in the drip tray and move the tubing free of the
detector base.
• Disconnect the convoluted tubing from the waste drain outlet of the drip tray.
5. Lift the detector base off of the two feet on the right side of the solvent bottle tray and set the
base aside.
6. Open the column heater or column heater/cooler door and release the column tubing from
the clip on the front of the unit.
7. Move the column tubing to the left until it is positioned outside of the column heater or
column heater/cooler door.
8. Slide the drip tray assembly and tube out from the bottom of the column heater or column
heater/cooler compartment and set it aside.
9. Lift up the column heater or column heater/cooler from the 3 keyed ports on the separations
module, then remove the unit and set it aside.
10. Remove the two T-20 screws that secure the separations module's right-hand side panel,
then slide the panel back until it clears the posts on the rear panel.
11. Remove the side panel from the separations module.
To re-assemble the system when maintenance is complete:
1. Slide the side panel back onto on the separations module and secure it, using the 2 screws
that you removed earlier. Make sure the column tubing is routed through the slot in the side
panel.
2. Align the 3 slotted holes on the side of the column heater or column heater/cooler with the 3
keyed ports on the side panel of the separations module, then carefully lower the unit into
place.
