2.1 Setting up the instrument
2.1.1 Packaging
819 IC Detector and 820 IC Separation Center are supplied together
with the separately packed accessories in special packagings
containing shock-absorbing foam linings designed to provide excellent
protection. The actual instrument is packed in an evacuated
polyethylene bag to prevent the ingress of dust. Please store all these
special packagings as only they assure transport of the instruments
free from damage.
2.1.2 Check
After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of
accessories in Section 6.2). In the case of transport damage, see
instructions in Section 6.5.1 "Warranty".
2.1.3 Location
Position the instrument the laboratory at a location convenient for op-
eration, free from vibrations and protected against a corrosive atmos-
phere and contamination by chemicals.
To avoid disturbing temperature influences on the insulated column
compartment, the pump and eluent reservoir must be protected
against direct sunlight.
2.1.4 Arrangement of the instruments
Modular IC instruments can be stacked on top of each other in any se-
quence.
In a modular system any instruments containing liquid-transporting
assemblies should always be located as low down in the stack as
possible, so that any leaks which may occur in tubing or connections
will cause no damage to the other instruments by escaping liquids
such as acids.
