3.7 Set System Operating Conditions
NOTE This section is an overview of the steps needed to start
up the system and begin running samples. Actual
operating parameters (flow rate, cell heater
temperature, suppressor current, etc.) depend on the
application to be run. Refer to the column manual for
the required parameters for your application.
Set or verify system operating parameters from either the Chromeleon Control
panel or from the touch screen
HOME
page. Operating parameters can also be set
automatically by loading a Chromeleon sequence.
NOTE Clicking the System Startup button on the Chromeleon
Control panel starts the pump, suppressor, eluent
generator, and CR-TC. The flow rate, suppressor
current, and eluent concentration settings that were in
effect when the system was shut down are restored.
1. Verify that the pump is on and set to the correct flow rate.
2. Verify that the suppressor current is on and that the setting is correct.
3. Verify that the eluent generator is turned on and the correct concentration is
set. Verify that the CR-TC (if installed) is turned on. Verify that the EPM (if
installed) is on and the correct concentration is set.
4. Verify that the cell heater is set to the correct value.
5. Verify that the column heater is set to the correct value.
