Preface

This installation guide describes how to upgrade the Surveyor™ LC Pump to a Surveyor LC Pump Plus.

To increase the retention time reproducibility of the LC system, the upgraded LC pump issues two output signals to the autosampler at the start of a run. The LC pump issues the first output signal when it senses a stable backpressure. It issues the second output signal when its cams return to the start position. The autosampler waits for these two signals before it performs an injection.

Related DocumentationIn addition to this guide, Thermo Fisher Scientific provides the following documents for the Surveyor LC Pump Plus:

• Surveyor LC Pump Plus Hardware Manual

• Surveyor Plus Getting Started with ChromQuest Guide

• Surveyor Plus Getting Started with Xcalibur Guide

Safety and Special NoticesMake sure you follow the precautionary statements presented in this guide. The safety and other special notices appear in boxes.

Safety and special notices include the following:

CAUTION Highlights hazards to humans, property, or the environment. Each CAUTION notice is accompanied by an appropriate CAUTION symbol.

IMPORTANT Highlights information necessary to prevent damage to software, loss of data, or invalid test results; or might contain information that is critical for optimal performance of the system.

Configuring the Surveyor Plus System

This chapter describes how to add the Surveyor LC Pump Plus to your instrument configuration and how to configure the Surveyor Autosampler Plus to recognize the active high input signals issued from the instrument-name.

The instrument-name can be controlled from either the Xcalibur data system or the ChromQuest data system. To configure your LC system appropriately for the instrument-name, follow the instructions for your data system:

• Configuring the Instrument in ChromQuest

• Configuring the Instrument in Xcalibur

Configuring the Instrument in ChromQuestTo control the instrument-name from the ChromQuest data system, you must add the pump to the instrument configuration. You must also configure the Surveyor Autosampler Plus signal polarities to recognize the output signals from the instrument-name.

This section contains the following topics:

• Configuring the Surveyor LC Pump Plus

• Configuring the Signal Polarities for the Surveyor AS

Configuring the Surveyor LC Pump Plus

The following procedure assumes that you are adding the instrument-name to a Surveyor instrument that already exists in the ChromQuest Enterprise. If you have not yet added an instrument to your Enterprise, refer to your Surveyor Plus Getting Started with ChromQuest Guide.

IMPORTANT If the signal polarities for the Surveyor Autosampler Plus are not configured correctly, the system status will remain indefinitely at “Waiting for Trigger.”

6. Click OK to close the Surveyor LC Pump dialog box.

7. Leave the Instrument Configuration view open. Go to the next procedure.

Configuring the Signal Polarities for the Surveyor AS

During an injection sequence, the instrument-name issues a pump ready signal and an injection hold release signal to the autosampler.

After you submit a run, the Surveyor AS waits for a pump ready signal from the LC pump. The instrument-name issues this signal after its pressure transducer monitors a stable backpressure. When the autosampler receives this signal, it begins an injection sequence.

After the autosampler begins the injection sequence, it waits for an injection hold release signal from the pump. The instrument-name issues this release signal when its piston cam returns to the start position. When the autosampler receives the injection hold release signal, it switches the injection valve to the inject position, allowing the mobile phase stream to sweep the contents of the sample loop onto the LC column.

For the instrument-name, select the Pump ready active high check box and the Injection hold release active high check box. See Figure 34. If you do not select these two check boxes, the autosampler does not recognize the input signals from the instrument-name and does not begin an injection sequence.



To check the input signal polarities for the Surveyor Autosampler Plus

1. From the Windows XP taskbar, choose Start > All Programs > Xcalibur > Instrument Configuration to open the Instrument Configuration window if it is not already open.

2. Double-click the Surveyor Autosampler button in the Configured Devices pane to open the Surveyor Autosampler Configuration dialog box.
