B.7.3

Controlling the Eluent Valve

The eluent valve controls flow from the
eluent reservoir. During routine operation,
the valve opens and closes automatically

when the pump flow is turned on and off. However, during eluent line
priming, you can use the controls on the

PUMP

page to manually open the

valve, allowing liquid to flow through the lines when the pump is off. See

Section B.13.2

for eluent line priming instructions.

Select the Degas, Always On option only when testing the vacuum degas
assembly. Do not select the Always On option for routine use.
