7.3 General Rules for Maintenance and Service
For successful maintenance and service procedures, follow these rules
and recommendations:
• Before starting maintenance or service procedures, shut down the
detector when instructed to do so.
•
Use only the replacement parts specifically authorized and qualified
for the detector by Thermo Fisher Scientific. For ordering
information, see
section 10.4 Consumables and Replacement Parts,
page 245 .
•
Follow all instructions step by step and use the tools recommended
for the procedure.
•
Before opening the flow path to replace capillaries in the system,
turn off the pump flow and wait until the system pressure is down to
zero.
•
Dirty components can contaminate the chromatography system.
Contamination leads to poor performance of the modules and entire
system or can even cause damage to the modules and system.
Therefore:
♦
Always wear appropriate gloves.

When disconnecting capillaries, protect open flow connections with
plugs.
