power it on. Alternately, click the Power On Detector button in the Controller Console window.
3. Follow the Power On Detector wizard by disconnecting the tubing from the detector inlet and placing a tube of
filtered distilled water on the detector inlet.
4. As the detector starts, the lasers and fluidics will go through a series of initialization steps which should take
about five minutes. It is possible to monitor the progress in the Controller Console window by clicking the Show
Details button. Once the detector is powered on, the system will show a status of Ready (green light).
