»
If using the optional secondary solvent containment on the top
of the system, it must be empty when using columns larger than
400 grams.
Note: For the liquid level sensors to work, they have to be used
with reservoirs that have been calibrated. See "Administrate
Reservoirs" on page 9.
1. Ensure that each liquid level sensor is connected to the hub
port that corresponds to the reservoir it is mounted on; see
see Figure 13 and Table 1 on page 7. For instructions on
how to mount the liquid level sensors, see page 5.
2. In the software, press Menu and then Solvent Setup.
3. Assign a solvent to each solvent inlet using the Solvent
drop-down lists in the Solvent Setup view.
To add solvents to the list, press Solvent Administration.
For more information, see the user manual supplied with
the system.
4. Assign a reservoir to each solvent inlet and the waste
outlet from the Reservoir drop-down lists; see Figure 24.
Reservoirs that are calibrated are marked with
To add reservoirs to the list, press Reservoir Administration.
For more information, see page 9.
The Custom option is available when you want to use a
reservoir without adding it to the system; you can enter its
capacity manually in the Solvent Setup view (see solvent
inlet S4 in Figure 24).
Note: If you select the Custom option or a reservoir that is
not calibrated, the monitoring will be based on the pumped
volume. The current liquid level must then be entered each
time you refill a solvent or empty a waste reservoir (see
Figure 25).
5. Prime the solvent inlets that have been assigned a
new solvent.

Figure 25. The Solvent Setup view when solvent and waste monitoring
using liquid level sensors is enabled. In this example, solvent inlet S3 and
S4 have not been assigned a calibrated reservoir and the monitoring of the
reservoirs will be based on the pumped volume. See the explanation of the
sensor icons on page 12.
