Setting Up The Reservoir - Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-4000 Installation Instructions Manual

Setting Up the Reservoir

Thermo Scientific
One of the following reservoirs is shipped with the Dionex ICS-4000:
• 1-liter polypropylene reservoir (P/N 063291)
• 2-liter polypropylene reservoir (P/N 062510)
• 1-liter polystyrene reservoir (P/N 075313)
CAUTION Do not use the reservoirs for offline vacuum degassing of eluents. The
reservoirs were not designed for this purpose.
MISE EN GARDE N'utilisez pas le réservoir en plastique pour le dégazage à vide hors ligne
d'éluants. Le réservoir n'a pas été conçu à cette fin.
VORSICHT Verwenden Sie den Plastikbehälter zum Offline Vakuum-Entgasen von
Eluenten. Die Behälter sind dafür nicht ausgelegt.
IMPORTANT Always use ASTM filtered, Type I (or better) (18 megohm-cm) deionized
water that meets the specifications in
used for eluent generation or seal washing, or manually prepare eluent.
 To set up the reservoir
1. Rinse the eluent reservoir with deionized water and then fill it with degassed deionized
water. This water will be used to:
• Flush the system
• Condition and hydrate consumable devices (EGC, CR-TC, CES, CRD)
• Generate eluent
2. Place the reservoir in the reservoir organizer on top of the Dionex ICS-4000.
3. If an end-line filter is not installed, locate the filter (P/N 045987) in the Dionex
ICS-4000 Ship Kit (P/N 075161) and install it on the end of the reservoir's eluent line.
4. Thoroughly rinse the end-line filter with deionized water.
5. Install the reservoir cap, making sure the end of the line extends to the bottom of the
reservoir, and that the filter is submerged in liquid. This prevents air from being drawn
through the eluent lines. Hand-tighten the cap.
