Diagnostics (UltiMate 3000 Series)
Thermo Unit Test

Run this test to check the heating and cooling capacity of the thermo unit in the column compartment, as well as the correct functioning of the fan and thermal connections.

Preparatory measures

Before you start, remove all column(s) from the column chamber to prevent them from being damaged by the high test temperatures.

 Tip: 

Close the column compartment's front panel, as an open front panel may lead to inaccurate test results.

How to

1. On the first test page, click Next> to proceed with the settings required for the test.

    Tip: 

   If the Next> button is not active on the first test page, the column compartment is not connected in Chromeleon or is in Standby mode. Connect the column compartment to Chromeleon before you continue by selecting the Connected check box. If the column compartment is in Standby mode, also clear the Standby check box.

2. Optional: Enter a descriptive text in the Comments field, e.g., the reason why the test is performed.

3. Prepare the column compartment.

   1. Make sure that no column is installed in the column chamber and confirm by clicking Done.

   2. Close the front panel door.

4. Clicking Next> takes you to the next test step(s). Follow the instructions on the panel(s).

5. When the test phase has finished, click Next> to go to the next page to view the test results.

6. To view or print the report with details of the analysis, click Finish and Preview Report. Click Finish to quit the test panel without viewing the report. For information about troubleshooting, click Open Troubleshooting Guide.
