A level sensor for the eluent bottle is indispensable for the automated pro- duction of eluent and is contained in the scope of delivery of the 941 Elu- ent Production Module. However, we recommend using level sensors to also monitor the bottle with the concentrate and the ultrapure water con- tainer.

Sensors with long measuring sensors warn when the liquid container is ■ empty (EMPTY sensor). Sensors with measuring sensors of different lengths are available for 1 L bottles, 2 L bottles and for 10 L canisters. ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
4.1.3 Location The 941 Eluent Production Module can be placed directly onto the 940 Professional IC Vario. To accomplish this, the bottle holder of the ion chro- matograph has to be removed and placed onto the 941 Eluent Production Module (see chapter 4.2.2.2, page 13).
■ The capillaries are removed from the guide ducts between the instru- ■ ment and the base tray. There are no loose parts in the instrument. ■ Accessories 3 mm hex key (6.2621.100) ■ ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
All of the cable connections on the rear have been disconnected. ■ There are no loose parts in the instrument. ■ The instrument is lying on its side, and the bottom surface is visible. ■ Accessories 3 mm hex key (6.2621.100) ■ ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)

Stack other instruments in the required order. Mount the bottle holder (6.2061.100) onto the topmost instrument on the stack. Mounting the bottle holder Prerequisite The instrument is switched off. ■ Accessories 3 mm hex key (6.2621.100) ■ ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
5 If one of the instruments in the stack is equipped with a leak sensor connection socket, connect the leak sensor (see manual of the IC instrument). 6 Restore any capillary connections that may have been removed. ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
3 Insert the two measuring sensors from the inside into the two open- ings for measuring sensors. Assembling the bottle cap Accessories For this step you need: Eluent bottle (6.1608.070) from the accessories set of the ion chro- ■ matograph. ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
Fasten the capillary connection to the ion chromatograph to the M8 opening. Start by pushing the M8 tubing nipple over the end of the aspira- ■ tion tubing, followed by the O-ring. Temporarily secure the eluent aspiration tubing in the M8 open- ■ ing. ■■■■■■■■ 941 Eluent Production Module (2.941.0010)
