B.7.3
Controlling the Eluent Valve
The eluent valve controls flow from the
eluent reservoir. During routine operation,
the valve opens and closes automatically
when the pump flow is turned on and off. However, during eluent line
priming, you can use the controls on the
PUMP
page to manually open the
valve, allowing liquid to flow through the lines when the pump is off. See
Section B.13.2
for eluent line priming instructions.
Select the Degas, Always On option only when testing the vacuum degas
assembly. Do not select the Always On option for routine use.
