• TCC with column switching valves
♦ To connect the capillaries to the column switching valve, install only Viper fitting
connections and/or the ferrules and fitting nuts provided in the accessories kit or
original Dionex spare parts. When you connect capillaries to the biocompatible
switching valve, observe the precautions on page 53.
♦ Guide the capillaries from and to the column switching valves through the guides
provided on the right and on the left of the column chamber (→ Fig. 14, page 47 ).
This is a must.

• Capillaries not connected to column switching valves
You are free to route them out of the interior
♦ At the right or left side of the column chamber. In this case, you have to route them
through the guides provided on the right and on the left of the column chamber.
♦ At any position between the top or bottom of the enclosure and the front panel door
to ensure that the connections are as short as possible.
Place the capillaries in such a manner that they do not open a small path for ambient
air into the column chamber (that is, place the capillaries preferably in a 90-degree
angle related to the door seal). When cooling, an improper seal may lead to a
considerable amount of condensation water.
