Bio-Rad BioLogic QuadTec™ Detector and Components - Manual (Page 16)

2.4 SYSTEM POWER UP
To power up the QuadTec Detector with the BioLogic DuoFlow system:
1. Important: Ensure that the BioLogic DuoFlow software application is not running.
2. Turn on power to the DuoFlow workstation. The ICM power LED should light, since it receives power
from the workstation. If it doesn’t, ensure that the ICM power cable is connected to the workstation.
3. Power up the QuadTec using the power switch on the rear of the detector.
The QuadTec detector goes through a startup routine, self-test and lamp calibration routine.
4. If these routines are successful, the bottom left of the QuadTec screen will display ON. At this point,
the BioLogic DuoFlow software application may be launched.
5. When the DuoFlow Controller establishes communication with the QuadTec detector, the top left of
the QuadTec detector screen will show SLAVE. The BioLogic Controller will show a QuadTec
detector faceplate in the Manual screen. The system is then ready for operation.
2.5 SYSTEM OPERATION
When the QuadTec is connected to the BioLogic DuoFlow system, it is automatically recognized and its
functions are controlled from the Manual Control screen and the Run screen. These are discussed below.
2.5.1 Manual Screen
In the Manual screen (Figure 2-5), the QuadTec appears in its own control panel; the QuadTec controls are
listed below. The QuadTec Detector control panel can be toggled to the BioLogic standard UV monitor
control panel.
• Mode: To control the QuadTec from the DuoFlow system, select System mode. To control the
QuadTec from its front panel, select Local mode.
• Zero baseline: Resets the detector AU value to zero.
• On/Off: Turns the lamp on and off.
• Lamp: Indicates whether the lamp is Deuterium or Halogen.
• Range: Displays the wavelength range for the lamp in use. The range for Deuterium is 190–370 nm;
that for Halogen is 370–740 nm.
• Wavelength selection: Use the checkbox and up/down arrows to select each wavelength.
Note: Wavelengths selected in the Manual screen will not be automatically selected in the Method
Protocol Editor screen.
• Set: Implements the wavelength setting.
