Resolving Leak Sensor Errors - Waters ACQUITY Refractive Index Detector Overview And Maintenance Manual

Resolving leak sensor errors

After approximately 1.5 mL of liquid accumulates in the leak sensor reservoir,
an alarm sounds indicating that the leak sensor detected a leak.
Warning:
including inhalation, always wear chemical-resistant, powder-free
gloves and observe Good Laboratory Practice when you handle them.
See the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents you use.
Warning:
solvents, flush the detector with an appropriate miscible solvent prior to
performing this procedure.
Warning:
compounds that are toxic, wear clean, chemical-resistant,
powder-free gloves when handling the leak sensor. To avoid
spreading contamination, do not allow contaminated gloves to
come in contact with uncontaminated surfaces, and discard gloves
immediately on completing the procedure.
Caution:
• do not allow buffered solvents to accumulate and dry on it;
• submerge only the prism in a cleaning bath.
Required materials
• Cotton swabs
• Gloves: clean, powder-free, chemical-resistant
• Nonabrasive, lint-free wipes
To resolve a leak sensor error:
1. View the Leak Sensors dialog box in the ACQUITY Console to verify
that a message stating "Leak Detected" appears, indicating that the leak
sensor detected a leak.
