Preparations

  1. Verify that the shipping lock of the autosampler has been properly loosened.

  2. NOTICE

    System damage

    Before turning on power to the Vanquish system, verify that the shipping lock has been properly loosened to avoid damage to the system.

  3. Verify that the chromatography software is installed on the data system computer. When the power is turned on, the required USB drivers are automatically found and the Windows™ operating system can detect the system modules.

Follow these steps

  1. Turn on each system module (pump, autosampler, optional column compartment) with its main power switch. Turn on the autosampler before you start the pump flow and pressure builds up.

    The pump starts and controls the seal wash system. Whenever you turn on the power to the pump, the pump starts operation with a seal wash cycle.

  2. Turn on the system controller with its main power switch.

    Using the main power switch is sufficient to turn on the system controller and it is not necessary to use the power push button. After the system controller has booted, the status LED is turned on.

  3. Turn on the system power by pressing the power button of the system.
