Flow

Description:

This command indicates the level of the solvent waste.

Function:

Before starting a sequence, enter the actual liquid level in the waste container. Chromeleon checks whether the waste container has sufficient capacity.

Parameters:

 

 Value

Actual waste level in [l].

 UpperLimit

Upper limit for the waste level in [l]. If the level in the waste container reaches this value, the batch is aborted and the following message appears:

[Abort] xx:xx:xx {Pump} The waste level is above the limit (x.xxx l)! Please empty the waste container.

 Tips:

In the emergency program, reduce the flow rate to 0 ml/min. This ensures that the waste container does not overflow.
With UltiMate 3000RS, SD and BM pumps, the pump flow is stopped automatically if the upper limit is reached (requires pump firmware version 2.21 or later).

 Tip:

 

Chromeleon checks the calculated level of solvent waste during the Ready Check. The corresponding warning appears if necessary.

 

 Note:

This command is available for all pumps except for ion chromatography pumps.
