NOTE: When using the FACS quench cooler make sure that the cooling accessory identified
in the instrument control program is the FACS and not the quench cooler. If the wrong cooler
is identified, your results may not be as expected.
Quench Cooler
The stand-alone Quench Cooler requires the use of a thermal enclosure. Follow these instructions to install both
the thermal enclosure and the quench cooler on your instrument. There should be no FACS installed on your
instrument.
1.
Remove the lid(s). If you do not have an AutoLid on your instrument, manually remove the lids. If your
instrument has an AutoLid, select the
Control/Lid/Open
function to raise the Autolid from the cell and
cause it to move out of the way to its home position.
2.
Pull the plug on the side of
the unit cover out to
remove it. Then remove the
screws attaching the cell
cover to the unit cover (cir-
cled in the figure to the
right). Three screws are
located on the side (Q2000/
Q1000) and one is located
on the top. Retain the
screws.
3.
If your instrument has an Autosampler installed, lift up the cover to release the tabs (shown in the figure
below) and pull the cover towards you to remove it fully.
If you do not have an Autosampler, you will have to remove
additional screws to release the cover. Then pull the cover towards
you to remove it fully.
4.
Place the thermal enclosure over the cell and align the notch in
the plate with the alignment pin (shown in the figure below right).
5.
Obtain a long
3/32-inch hex-
agonal (Allen)
wrench from
the accessory
kit.
6.
Insert the tip
of the wrench into any one of the three captive screws in
the thermal enclosure plate while holding onto it. You
will need to exert downward pressure on the wrench
while you tighten the screw a few turns. DO NOT fully
tighten yet.
