Inserting the Flow Cell The supply configuration of this detector only includes a test cell (dummy cell) from KNAUER, which does not have connections for solvent. It is used, for example, to check the lamp intensity, as a dirty flow cell could distort this value.
Startup Prerequisite In case necessary, the optical wavelength has been set. The device has been switched off. The power plug has been pulled. Procedure 1. Unscrew the knurled-head screws ( ) of the cover plate ( ). Hold the flow cell securely with your hand during this procedure.
Startup 2. Remove the stainless steel cover and light guide, together with the seal ring, with tweezers. 3. To extend the path length, push the light guide out about 1 mm. Please use a clean cloth and avoid touching the light guide with your fingers. 4.
