If you must power-on the detector before the eluent is flowing, extinguish the
lamp. You can do this in one of three ways:
•
In the Instrument Method Editor (in Empower; Inlet Editor in
MassLynx), specify a Lamp Off event in the Events table.
•
In the control panel, click the lamp icon.
•
In the console, select PDA Detector from the system tree and click the
lamp icon.

To start the detector:
1. Power-on the workstation.
2. Press the power switch on the top, left side of each instrument’s door.
Result:
Each system instrument “beeps” and runs a series of startup
tests.
The power and lamp LEDs change as follows:
•
Each system instrument’s power LED shows green.
•
During initialization, each system instrument’s status LED flashes
green.
•
After the instruments are successfully powered-on, all LEDs show
steady green. The solvent manager’s flow LED and the sample
manager’s run LED remain unlit.
3. Start Empower or MassLynx software so you can monitor the console for
messages and LED indications.
4. Flush the system with nonhazardous solvent.
5. In the console, set the solvent manager to deliver a flow rate appropriate
for the flow cell in your system.
6. Pump mobile phase for at least 15 minutes.
7. Ensure the detector cell is filled with solvent.
Caution:
The detector can fail to initialize correctly if the cell
contains air. To avoid damaging the flow cell, do not ignite the
detector lamp when no solvent is flowing through the cell or when
it is dry.
