1.1 About this Manual
This manual describes the functional features and operating principle of
your Thermo Scientific™ Corona™ Veo™ and Corona Veo RS detector
and provides instructions for installation, set up, start up, shut down,
operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
The layout of this manual is designed to provide quick reference to the
sections of interest to the user. To obtain a full understanding of your
detector, read this manual thoroughly.
This manual also contains safety messages, precautionary statements,
and special notices that can prevent personal injury, damage to the
detector, or loss of data when followed properly.
Note the following:
• The detector configuration may vary; therefore, not all descriptions
necessarily apply to your particular detector.
• If some detail applies to only one model or variant, the model or
variant is identified by name.
• Illustrations in this manual are provided for basic understanding.
They can vary from the actual model of the detector or component.
However, this does not influence the descriptions. No claims can be
derived from the illustrations in this manual.
The descriptions in this manual assume that the detector is installed in
the HPLC system stack. If this is not the case, additional hardware is
required and must be ordered separately. The information in this
manual applies correspondingly.

2 • Safety
2.2 Intended Use
The detector is designed for use in high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) or ultra-high performance liquid
chromatography (UHPLC) applications.
The detector is designed for HPLC, UHPLC and microLC analyses,
especially as part of the UltiMate 3000 system, but can also be used with
other HPLC systems if adequate control inputs and outputs are available.
The intended use of a HPLC system is to analyze mixtures of compounds
in sample solutions. The detector is for use by qualified personnel and in
laboratory environment only.
The detector is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not
intended for use in diagnostic procedures.
Laboratory Practice
Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that the laboratory in which the
HPLC system is used follow best practices for LC analyses. This includes
among others:
• Using appropriate standards
• Regularly running calibration
• Establishing shelf life limits and following them for all consumables
used with the system
• Running the system according to the laboratory's verified and
validated 'lab developed test' protocol

French Version
Portez des équipements de protection individuelle et suivez les bonnes
pratiques de laboratoire afin de vous protéger contre les substances
dangereuses. L’adéquation de l’équipement de protection individuelle
dépend des risques présentés par les substances. Pour des conseils
concernant les dangers et l’équipement de protection requis pour les
substances que vous utilisez, reportez-vous à la fiche technique de
sécurité et de manipulation des substances fournie par le vendeur.
Une installation permettant de se rincer les yeux ainsi qu’un lavabo
doivent se trouver à proximité du système. Si une substance, quelle
qu’elle soit, entre en contact avec vos yeux ou votre peau, rincez
abondamment la zone concernée à l’eau, puis consultez un médecin.
Vêtements de protection
Afin de vous protéger contre les éclaboussures chimiques, liquides
dangereux ou toute autre contamination, portez des vêtements de
protection appropriés, tels qu’une blouse de laboratoire.
Équipement de protection des yeux
Afin d’éviter les projections de liquides dans les yeux, portez un
équipement de protection des yeux approprié, tel que des lunettes de
protection avec écrans latéraux. En cas de risque de projection de
liquides, portez des lunettes de sécurité.
Gants
Afin de vous protéger contre les liquides nocifs et d’éviter de vous
blesser lors de la maintenance ou de l’entretien, portez des gants de
protection appropriés.

2.3.4 Electrical Safety Precautions
WARNING— Electric Shock or Damage to the Device
High voltages are present inside the device that could cause an electric
shock or damage to the device.
• Do not make any changes to the electrical or grounding connections.
• If you suspect any kind of electrical damage, disconnect the power
cord and contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical Support for
assistance.
• Do not open the housing or remove protective panels unless
specifically instructed to do so in this manual.
• Do not place liquid reservoirs directly upon the device. Liquid might
leak into the device and get into contact with electronic components
causing a short circuit. Instead, place liquid reservoirs in the solvent
rack that is available for the HPLC system.
2 • Safety
AVERTISSEMENT—Décharge électrique ou endommagement de
l’instrument
Des tensions élevées sont présentes dans l’appareil et peuvent causer
des chocs électriques ou endommager l’appareil.
• N’apportez aucune modification aux raccordements électriques ou
aux bornes de mise à la terre.
• Si vous suspectez la présence d’un dommage électrique quelconque,
débranchez le cordon d’alimentation et contactez le support
technique de Thermo Fisher Scientific pour obtenir de l’aide.
• N’ouvrez pas le boîtier et ne retirez pas les capots de protection, à
moins que cela ne soit expressément indiqué dans le présent
manuel.
• Ne placez pas de réservoirs de liquides directement sur l’appareil. Le
liquide peut s’écouler dans l’appareil et entrer en contact avec les
composants électroniques, provoquant ainsi un court-circuit. Posez
plutôt les réservoirs de liquides dans le bac à solvants disponible
dans le système HPLC.

• For English version, see below.
• For French version, see page 33.
English Version
Pay attention to the following general residual hazards when working
with the detector:
WARNING—Hazardous Substances
Solvents, mobile phases, samples, and reagents might contain toxic,
carcinogenic, mutagenic, infectious, or otherwise harmful substances.
The handling of these substances can pose health and safety risks.
• Be sure that you know the properties of all substances that you are
using. Avoid exposure to harmful substances. If you have any doubt
about a substance, handle the substance as if it is potentially
harmful.
• Wear personal protective equipment as required by the hazard and
follow good laboratory practice.
• Reduce the volume of substances to the minimum volume required
for sample analysis.
• Do not operate the detector in a potentially flammable environment.
• Avoid accumulation of harmful substances. Make sure that the
installation site is well ventilated.
• Dispose of hazardous waste in an environmentally safe manner that
is consistent with local regulations. Follow a regulated, approved
waste disposal program.
