Installing the detector 2-3
Installing the detector
To install the 2475 detector, place it on a level surface to allow proper function
of the drip management system (drain tube), to which you can connect to a
waste reservoir that diverts solvent leaks from the flow cell.
Plumbing the detector
Connecting columns
The plumbing connections to the detector are at the front of the flow cell
assembly, on it’s right-hand side.
To connect the inlet and outlet tubing:
1. Attach the compression fitting and ferrule (supplied in the startup kit).
2. Connect the inlet tubing to the column outlet, ensure the tubing is
seated firmly, and then tighten the compression screw.
Warning:
To avoid injury, Waters recommends that two people lift
the 2475 detector.
Warning:
Risk of fire. To avoid overheating, and to provide clearance
for cable connections, make sure there is at least 15.24 cm (6 inches)
of clearance at the rear of the detector.
Caution:
To prevent flow cell breakage, do not exceed the flow cell’s
maximum allowable pressure of 1000 kPa (10 bar, 145 psi) and a flow
rate of 5 mL/min.
Warning:
To prevent injury, always observe Good Laboratory Practices
when you handle solvents, change tubing, or operate the system. Know
the physical and chemical properties of the solvents you use. See the
Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents in use.
Caution:
Do not put fluid containers on top of the detector
without a solvent tray to contain spills.
