Verifying The Detector - Waters 2487 Dual A Operator's Manual

Remote Control
To operate as part of a Waters Alliance system or under Millennium³² control, the 2487
Detector uses the IEEE-488 bus connector (see
Connections in Breeze and
Under the control of the Millennium Chromatography Manager version 2.15 or lower, a
2690 Alliance Separations Module version 1.15, or a PowerLine controller, the 2487
Detector appears on the data system configuration screen or on the busLAC/E as two 486
Detectors if:
• The Emulate dual 486 option is enabled and the detector is operating in dual
wavelength mode.
• The detector is operating in dual wavelength mode.
• The IEEE address is an even-numbered address from 2 to 28
detector assigns the next consecutive address to the "second" 486 Detector.
Note: When the 2487 Detector is connected to the Millennium³² software versions 3.0 and
higher, you do not need to select the Emulate dual 486 option.
To connect the 2487 Detector to your HPLC system, see

Connections.
When under the control of an external data system, the 2487 Detector is operating under
remote control conditions. The Remote Control icon, containing the IEEE-488 address, is
present on the Absorbance screen (see

Detector to an external system.

3.3.2 Verifying the Detector

After you have installed the 2487 Detector, verify that the detector is operating properly by
performing the procedures in this section.
This section describes how to perform certain tests needed to verify your system. When
you complete these procedures successfully, the 2487 Detector optics and electronics are
functioning properly. For complete validation procedures, you must obtain the Waters
accuracy and linearity cuvette kits and Qualification Workbooks for the 2487 Detector.
See Appendix B, Spare
Note: Before you pump solvent or mobile phase through the system, flush the lines with
filtered, degassed, and sparged HPLC-grade methanol. Then pump your mobile phase,
provided that there are no miscibility problems, at 1 mL/min for 15 minutes minimum.
