To restart the device after a long-term shutdown, follow these steps:
Engage the peristaltic tubing in the seal wash pump.
Reconnect the seal wash line and the solvent lines to the appropriate reservoirs.
Retighten the reservoir cap hand-tight. The retaining guide must remain in the hole in the reservoir cap. If it does not, press the retaining guide into the hole so that the tubing is kept in place in the cap.
Turn on the device. Observe the following:
Situation | Action |
---|---|
If the device remained in the system stack and all system modules were turned off. | Turn on the system with the system power button on the system base. |
If the device is restarted after transport. | Turn on the device with the main power switch. |
Prepare and restart the other modules in the Vanquish system, following the instructions in the Operating Manuals for the modules. Pay special attention to the Preparing the Module for Operation section.
Purge the pump and then have the pump deliver for a short time.
Before starting an analysis, let the device equilibrate and be sure that it is ready for operation. See Preparing the Device for Operation.
