This section describes how to connect and place the active pre-heater in the column compartment.
Parts required
Column holder
Active pre-heater
Viper inline filter (optional)
Preparations
NOTICE
The active pre-heater is filled with isopropanol when the column compartment is shipped from the manufacturing site. If of insufficient quality, isopropanol may damage the column.
Follow these steps
TIP
Use a Viper inline filter between the active pre-heater and the column to prevent un-dissolved particles from getting into the column.
Connect the Viper inline filter to the column.
Connect the active pre-heater to the Viper inline filter.
Attach the column holder to the active pre-heater fitting.
Fix the column holder on the central wall inside the column chamber.
Before you connect the pre-heater cable to the pre-heater connection port for the first time, check that the pre-heater is enabled in the Instrument Configuration Manager dialog box for the column compartment.
Once the pre-heater is enabled in the chromatography data system, it detects automatically when the pre-heater is connected.
Connect the pre-heater cable to the pre-heater connection port.
The pre-heater connection ports are located next to the lower column switching valve.
TIP
Use the left connection port for a pre-heater installed in the left column slot, and the right connection port for a pre-heater installed in the right column slot.
Route the pre-heater cable through the pre-heater cable guide. Each pre-heater cable and cable guide is located above the pre-heater port. If the pre-heater cable is too long, loop the cable in the guide.
