Removing a DSC Q2000/Q1000 Cell
Should you need to remove the DSC Q2000/Q1000 cell from the instrument for any reason, follow these steps:
1.
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
(circled in the figure to the right). Three screws are located on
the side 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 here) 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.
If there is a cooling accessory installed, make sure that is has reached room temperature, then remove it. See
Chapter 2 and reverse the installation instructions for that cooler.
5.
Remove the two thumbscrews at the front of the cell base
as shown in the figure to the right.
6. Make sure the cell has reached room temperature, then slide
out the cell.
Installing a Cell
To install a cell on the Q2000/Q1000, slide the cell into place
fully engaging the connectors.
Tighten the thumbscrews equally until they cannot be tightened
further—do not force.
Then reverse the directions given in the previous section to reinstall the cover.
