To load the carousels:
1. Open the carousel door.
Tip: The message the "Door is Open" appears.
2. Press the Next screen key (or select the desired carousel screen key) to position the
carousel turntable for loading the appropriate carousel.
3. Load the carousel into the sample compartment.
4. Repeat step 2
5. Close the carousel door.
If you enable the "Verify carousel placement" check box (the default setting) in the Configuration
screen, an error message appears if you attempt to make an injection from a carousel that is in the
wrong position.
After the carousel is engaged, all subsequent carousel movements are monitored using a sensor.
If the sensor detects that a carousel movement has failed, the movement is retried. If it fails a
second time, a "Carousel malfunction" error is generated. This ensures that the carousel is always
positioned correctly.

• A separations module that is powered-off or left idle with no flow.
• A separations module that requires a solvent change (from a buffered solvent to an organic
solvent).
For step-by-step instructions on how to use direct functions to prime, equilibrate, and purge your
