Shutdown Procedures
The ProteOn XPR36 instrument and ProteOn Manager software do not need
to be shut down as part of normal operation.
Shutdown is only required when:
• Switching users (close ProteOn Manager without instrument
shutdown)
• Switching between rack and microplate autosampler
configurations (immediate shutdown)
• Correcting a few types of software or hardware faults (immediate
shutdown)
• Extended periods of inactivity (long-term shutdown).
For short periods of inactivity, such as a few days, the instrument should be
primed with DDW and placed in standby mode rather than shutting it down.
This ensures that the instrument remains clean and that buffer salts, which
could crystallize and damage the system, are flushed out
Immediate Shutdown
Immediate shutdown shuts down the instrument without flushing the system
with water.
Select immediate shutdown when unusual instrument or software behavior
errors occur. These behaviors can include, but are not limited to, the following:
• State inconsistency (that is, instrument and software do not reflect
the same state)
