2.11 Grounding
WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion. Nonconductive, nonpolar liquids at
linear velocities greater than 40 cm/sec will develop an
electrostatic charge. If this applies to your application, all
components along the fluid path must be electrically
grounded. An electrical ground is necessary to dissipate
electrostatic charges that may build while collecting fluids
such as organic solvents.
Refer to your local health and safety directives and ground the
solvent delivery lines, Torrent, optional equipment, and
collection and waste containers according to these governing
directives.
Note
The entire fluid path of the Torrent is electrically grounded. The
black tubing is conductive. Never substitute the black tubing.
2.12 Turn on Power
The Torrent’s power switch is located above the touch screen
panel. Turn the switch to the ON position. Peripheral
equipment should also be turned on at this time. The Torrent
will begin its startup routine which includes self diagnostics.
The Torrent is ready for operation when the PeakTrak screen
is displayed.
2.13 Configure the Torrent
Before operating the Torrent, it must be configured for the
desired operation. To configure the module, open the
Configuration window by selecting Tools>Configuration from
the PeakTrak menu.
The configuration window has four tabs: Instrument
Configuration, Network Configuration, User Preferences, and
Fraction Collector. Network Configuration settings are
