Troubleshooting

Use this troubleshooting guide to isolate and solve problems that
may occur while using the LC20. If there is more than one possible
cause, read the potential sources of the problem to determine which
may be the most applicable. If the problem persists, call the nearest
Dionex Regional Office.

For troubleshooting procedures specific to the Rheodyne injection
valve, refer to the Rheodyne Valve Operator’s Manual (Document
No. 034468).

4.1 Liquid Leaks

•

Leaking fitting.

Locate the source of the leak. Make sure all liquid line
connections are tight:

1. If the connections are made with Dionex ferrule fittings,

see Installation of Dionex Ferrule Fittings (Document
No. 034213) for instructions.

2. If the column select valve is plumbed into the system,

remove the valve from its mounting clip to improve
access to all valve ports. Use a wrench on the valve
pressure bolt to prevent it from turning while tightening
the fitting.

•

Broken liquid line.

Replace the ferrule or replace the tubing.

•

Blocked or improperly installed waste line.

Make sure the waste lines from the valves and cells are not
crimped or otherwise blocked. Also make sure they are not
elevated at any point after they exit the module.
