This item sets the temperature of the optical unit. The optical unit of the RID can be operated between 5°C and 55°C.
Although the optical unit is specified to operate from 0°C, only 5°C above ambient is supported, which results in an actual lower limit of 5°C. |
The recommended setting is 5°C above ambient. This will improve baseline stability. If the application requires that the heater is not controlled (the heater is off), for example for GPC using THF, the heater can be switched off..
Use the Heater to switch the heater on or off.
