7.14.1 Preparing the Detector for Transport
To prepare the detector for transport, follow these steps:
1. Perform a long-term shut down of the detector. See section 6.8.2
Long-Term Shutdown, page 107 .
2. Turn off the detector with its main power switch and disconnect the
power cord.
3. Remove all cables and flow connections to other devices.
4. Remove the flow cell from the detector and store it. Ensure that you
install the cover to the flow cell opening (see section 7.7.2,
page 128 ).
NOTICE—Sensitive LightPipe Flow Cells
Transporting the detector with a flow cell installed can lead to
destruction of the flow cell. Therefore, remove the flow cell before
transporting the detector.
NOTICE The flow cell opening on the detector is sensitive to dust
and debris. If no flow cell is installed to the detector, close the flow
cell opening with the cover for the flow cell opening.
5. Install the carrying handles and remove the detector from the
Vanquish system. Follow the instructions on dismounting the system
stack in the
Transporting or Shipping the System section of the
Vanquish System Operating Manual
.
TIP If you want to transport or ship only the slide-in module, you
need not install the carrying handles. Follow the steps in
section 7.15.1, page 157 .
