Bio-Rad BioLogic QuadTec™ Detector and Components - Manual (Page 10)

1.4.2 Power Up and Self-Test
The QuadTec detector is equipped with a universal power supply, which operates with supply voltages from
90 to 260 Volts AC. A manual setting of the supply voltage is not required.
Caution! Make sure to use a properly grounded power outlet and the power cable provided with the
system.
Before connecting the QuadTec to the Biologic DuoFlow or BioLogic HR system, perform the following
operation:
1. Connect the power cable to the QuadTec and the grounded power outlet, and then switch on the
device using the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the unit.
2. The display should show: Kernel v1.0, Bio-Rad BioLogic QuadTec UV-Vis 1.50.
Note: The firmware revision number may change.
3. Upon power-up, the QuadTec will run through a self-test which includes a check of the electronic
functions. Successful completion of self-test is indicated by SYSTEM TEST OK.
4. The QuadTec then runs through a wavelength calibration routine. A noise will be heard as the
monochromator moves. If the calibration is successful, the main menu will appear (see page 4-2
Figure 4-1).
If the detector calibration fails or takes an excessively long time, may be a sign that the lamp needs
replacing. See Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.
If the QuadTec self-test is successful, turn off the instrument, and then connect it to your chromatography
system using the instructions given on the following pages.
