Dionex ICS-4000 Installation Instructions
Note If the pressure difference is greater than 0.7 MPa (100 psi), refer to the
ICS-4000 operator's manual for troubleshooting information on high system
backpressure.
If you are installing a CD, check the background conductivity before continuing.
To check the background conductivity
1. On the Pump screen, under Prime/Flush, select
2. Monitor the background conductivity of the water. Verify that the conductivity is <1 μS
before proceeding.
3. Remove the tubing assemblies between the injection valve
port.
Complete the appropriate Installation Qualification (IQ) checklist and the system function
test to confirm that the Dionex ICS-4000 is correctly installed and the basic system
components (injection valve, pump, and detector) are functioning correctly.
Note If you are installing an ED, fill and flush the liquid path (see
eluent generator (see

system function test. The system function test for an ED requires KOH eluent. The test
for a CD requires only deionized water.
If purchased for your system, complete the Operational Qualification (OQ) procedure.
Note For an ED, complete the OQ after filling and flushing the liquid path and
performing the ED system function test.
