4. On the system base, route the detector waste line through the
dedicated detector waste outlet to waste and connect the detector
waste line to the waste container as described in the
Vanquish
System Operating Manual
.
TIP
The waste line should go straight to the system base and to waste. Make
sure that the line is positioned straight in the tubing guides.
5. If you have to cut tubing to length, use a tubing cutter. Make sure
that the cut is at right angle to the length of the line and that the cut
is not crimped.
6. Check the waste line over the entire flow path: Make sure that no
bending (kink), pinching or squeezing of the waste line is present at
any point in the flow path.
Assembling the waste line, if the tubing slips out of the fitting
1. Check, if the o-rings are properly positioned inside the fitting.
2. Insert one end of the fitting into the connector. Make sure the
tubing end has a clean and evenly cut end.
3. To insert the tubing end until stop (approximately 1 cm), press the
tubing into the fitting while twisting the fitting.
TIP
If you have difficulties inserting the tubing into the fitting, spill one or
two drops of isopropanol onto the end of the tubing to reduce friction
and try to insert it again.
TIP
If the tubing slips off the fitting several times, consider replacing the
waste line.
