The Heater Test is a diagnostic test to verify the correct functioning of the heating element of the Integrated Column Compartment (ICC). It measures the heating rate of the column oven and compares it against the threshold value. The test takes less than 1 min to complete and returns a pass/fail type result.
For the test to start, the actual temperature in the column oven must be equal to or below 60 °C. If the temperature is above 60 °C, the heater turns off and the system waits until the starting condition is reached.
NOTE
To circumvent any negative effect on the test result, the Sample Thermostat is turned off for the duration of the test if present.
