For LightPipe flow cells, note the following:
♦
If pump flow is interrupted and the lamp is turned on, protect
the flow cell from the light of the lamp: Close the shutter in the
light path before the flow cell, or turn off the lamp.
♦
If the pump flow is stopped for a longer time, or if the flow cell is
to be shipped or stored, observe the steps in
section 7.7.2,
page 128
NOTICE
Turning on and off the lamp too often can reduce the lifetime of
the lamp.
Do not turn off the lamp if you intend to use the detector again within
24 hours. If you want to use the detector the next day, leave the lamp
turned on and close the shutter. If the detector is not used for a longer
time (e.g., one day or over the weekend), turn off the lamp to save lamp
life time and energy.
When resuming operation, let the flow equilibrate and verify that the
operating parameters for the other system modules are set as required
before proceeding.
6.8.2
Long-Term Shutdown
Shutting Down the Detector
TIP
Shutting down the detector affects the operation of the system.
When shutting down the detector, also observe the shutting down
instructions for the other Vanquish system modules and take
appropriate action (refer to the
Operating Manuals
for the modules).
To interrupt operation for a longer period, follow the instructions below.
1. Turn off the UV lamp.
2. Flush the flow cell with an appropriate, pure solvent (minimum
HPLC-grade). Make sure that residual sample components,
impurities from the column, or additives are completely flushed out
of the flow cell.
