Leaking pressure transducer
1. Make sure the liquid line connections into the pressure transducer are
tight. Refer to Installation of Dionex Liquid Line Fittings (Document No.

Leaking detector cell
1. Check the waste lines for blockage; trapped particles can plug the lines
and cause a restriction and/or leak. If necessary, clear the waste lines by
reversing the direction of flow.
2. Make sure the plumbing downstream from the cell is clear; a blockage
may overpressurize the cell, causing it to leak. If the problem continues,
contact Dionex for assistance.
