Location of the detector module
Place the detector conveniently near your HPLC system. The
modular design of the ProStar 335 detector enables you to locate
it anywhere within the limitations imposed by the length of the
power cord, fluid lines and signal cables. In order to keep liquid
dead volume as low as possible and to minimize peak
broadening in the lines, the distance between the column outlet
and the flowcell inlet should be kept to a minimum.
For best performance, the detector should be located on a clean,
sturdy, vibration free bench in an area free of:
Heat sources (such as direct sunlight or a heater vent)
Drafts (such as an open doorway, window, or
air-conditioner vent)
Smoke or UV-absorbing vapor
Corrosive or dusty atmosphere
Potential liquid spills
Provide approximately four inches of space behind the unit so
that the cooling fan intake is not impeded, and to allow easy
access to the rear panel services (see page 50).
