Laboratory site selection
To ensure the reliable operation of your detector:
•
do not situate it under a heating or cooling vent
•
connect it to a power supply that is grounded AC, 100 to 240 VAC
•
provide clearance of at least 15 cm (6 inches) on the back side for
ventilation
The dimensions shown in the
figure “Detector dimensions” on page 2-4
indicate that the detector is a stackable unit and does not require extra bench
space.
Place the detector close to the outlet of the column to minimize band
broadening, which will reduce the resolution of the chromatogram.
Requirement:
Mount the detector on a level surface to allow proper function of
the drip management system (drain tube), to which you can connect a waste
reservoir that diverts solvent leaks from the flow cell.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the detector, the weight of items stacked on
top of it should not exceed 18.1 kg (40 pounds).
