High Consumption of Reference Mass Solution

Hi Jan, 

I have a 45XT and ours last many days worth of continuous feed. If I recall, it's supposed to only consume ~10-20 uL/min so it should last quite a while. Yours is more like 100uL/hr. Typically if there's a leak, it will set off the sensor but you should check under the cover just in case.  

Your CDS could be plumbed incorrectly but I think it's really just a solenoid and a very long PEEK line. If the line hasn't been trimmedback, there's not many places for it to go. 

Do you see a ripple in the surface of the reference mass solution when the bottle is installed? It could mean you're not getting a good seal and you're evaporation it via N2. The glass bottles are notoriously hit or miss in terms of the seal.
