2 Overview
The Vanquish Solvent Monitor (VSM) tracks the volume in solvent
reservoirs and waste containers based on physical measurements. It
enables routine customers to run their HPLC systems safely and with
minimum downtime.
The solvent monitor can be controlled and the volumes can be visualized
via the:
•ePanel in the Chromeleon™ software
•Chromeleon parameters
If a Vanquish System Controller is also installed, the measured volumes
can also be monitored via the Vanquish Display or an internet web
browser.

3.4 Installing the Solvent Monitor
TIP If the system stack has not already been set up, install the solvent
monitor before the column compartment because the cables need to be
guided between the system stack and the column compartment.
The recommended position of the solvent monitor is the right side of
the front railing.
Figure1: Recommended position of the solvent monitor
If a Vanquish Display is also to be installed, refer to the Vanquish User
Interface Installation Guide for information where to mount the
Vanquish Display. The instructions below describe how to mount the
solvent monitor at the right side of the front railing.
