AFC OPERATION
MOUNTING THE COLUMN TO THE AFC TOWER
The AFC will only work with RFID-tagged qEV columns.
1.
Turn on the instrument using the power switch at the rear.
2.
Check the waste tube to ensure it empties into a sink or waste vessel.
3.
Before a column has been inserted, the tower lighting will be white, and the home screen
will display "No Column".
A warning indicator will be displayed when the recommended number of uses (5) has
been exceeded. After 5 uses, the warning indicator will appear and a countdown from 5 to
0 uses will commence. The AFC will display 'invalid column' when it has been used a total
of 10 times.
4.
Fit the appropriate column mount onto the AFC tower.
5.
If using a qEVsingle, qEVoriginal, or qEV1, remove the top cap before placing the column
in the column mount. If using a qEV2 or qEV10, fit the reservoir to the column, remove
the lower cap and ensure the fluid is flowing properly before placing the column in the
column mount.
6.
Ensure the lower cap has been removed, insert the column into the column mount and
carefully dock the column. Ensure that the Izon logo on the column is visible and the AFC
can read the RFID tag.
7.
The qEV column type will be displayed on the screen. If not, rotate column until displayed.
8.
Ensure connection between the column and the tube adapter is secure to avoid leaks.
To minimise buffer being spilled while connecting the column to the tube adapter, make
the connection quickly and wipe any drops that land on the AFC.
