Installing The Detector; Plumbing The Detector; Connecting Columns - Waters 2475 Operator's Manual

Installing the detector

Warning:
the 2475 detector.
Warning:
for cable connections, make sure there is at least 15.24 cm (6 inches)
of clearance at the rear of the detector.
To install the 2475 detector, place it on a level surface to allow proper function
of the drip management system (drain tube), to which you can connect to a
waste reservoir that diverts solvent leaks from the flow cell.

Plumbing the detector

Caution:
maximum allowable pressure of 1000 kPa (10 bar, 145 psi) and a flow
rate of 5 mL/min.

Connecting columns

Warning:
when you handle solvents, change tubing, or operate the system. Know
the physical and chemical properties of the solvents you use. See the
Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents in use.
The plumbing connections to the detector are at the front of the flow cell
assembly, on it's right-hand side.
To connect the inlet and outlet tubing:
1. Attach the compression fitting and ferrule (supplied in the startup kit).
2. Connect the inlet tubing to the column outlet, ensure the tubing is
seated firmly, and then tighten the compression screw.
Caution:
without a solvent tray to contain spills.
To avoid injury, Waters recommends that two people lift
