2.2 Setting up the instruments
2.2.1 Packaging
The 732 IC Detector and 733 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 instruments are 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.
2.2.2 Check
After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of ac-
cessories in section 7.2). In the case of transport damage, see instruc-
tions in section 7.4.1 "Warranty".
2.2.3 Location
Position the instruments in the laboratory at a location convenient for
operation, free from vibrations and protected against a corrosive at-
mosphere and contamination by chemicals. The same applies to all
other components of the IC system.
To avoid disturbing temperature influences on the insulated column
compartment, the entire system including pump and eluent reservoir
must be protected against direct sunlight.
2.2.4 Arrangement of the instruments
In one-channel operation, the 709 IC Pump, 733 IC Separation Center
and 732 IC Detector are best stacked on top of one another in this or-
der.
In two-channel operation (2.733.0X20 IC Separation Center), the opti-
mum arrangement (1, 2 or 3 towers) depends on the laboratory space
available. However, the 709 IC Pumps should be set up at the very
bottom and the 732 IC Detectors at the very top.
To ensure that the arrangement of pumps and detectors for the two
channels A and B is clearly apparent in two-channel operation, it is
advantageous to mark the instruments. The 6.2248.000 Magnetic
plate is enclosed with the 732 IC Detector for this purpose. It can be
cut to the desired size, labeled (e.g. with "A" or "B") and affixed to the
appropriate instrument.
