In a system with photometric detection with a 886 Professional Thermo- stat/Reactor as column holder and thermostat and an 887 Professional UV/VIS Detector, it is also possible to use the 872 Extension Module IC Module for conveying reagents. The extension module is operated with MagIC Net software, just like the IC instrument.
Intended use The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable samples. The usage of the 872 Extension Module therefore requires that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling of toxic and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.

The Installation chapter contains this overview ■ a brief set of instructions for the installation of the 872 Extension Mod- ■ ule IC Module (see Chapter 4.2, page 21). At each step you will find cross-references to more detailed installation instructions for individual components, should you require such aids.
■ 4.6.2, page 31). Installation diagram Figure 11 Installation diagram shows the capillary connections of the 872 Extension Module IC Module as an additional IC Module which can be integrated into any existing system. The arrangement of the modules in the diagram corresponds to the front view of the extension module.
■ To equip the eluent aspiration tubing proceed as follows: Assembling eluent aspiration tubing 1 Guide the free end of the eluent aspiration tubing (12-1) out of the instrument through a suitable capillary feed-through. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Note The eluent degasser is already installed in the newly delivered instru- ment. The following installation instructions must only be followed, if the connections to the degasser had to be disconnected for mainte- nance. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Carefully tighten the clamping screw (17-4). ■ Connect the other end of the connection capillary (17-6) (with ■ the shorter clamping screw ) to the high pressure pump (18-9) (see "Connecting inlet to the high pressure pump", page 30). ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
For connecting the coupling (19- ) to the (19- ) to the input of the high pressure pump head input capillary (18- pump. Can be ordered together with the coupling under the number 6.2744.230. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Deaerate the high pressure pump as follows (see Figure 20, page 32): Deaerating the high pressure pump The instrument must be connected to the PC and switched on to deaerate the high pressure pump. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
4 Setting the flow rate Start MagIC Net (if not yet started). ■ Ensure that the eluent aspiration tubing is immersed sufficiently in ■ the eluent. Let the high pressure pump run. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...

1 and 2), two for the eluent path (connectors 4 and 5) and two for the sample loop (connectors 3 and 6). Note The capillaries of the eluent path and the sample path and the sample loop are already installed in the newly delivered instrument. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Fasten one end of the sample loop (23-2) with a 6.2744.010 ■ PEEK pressure screw (23-7) to connector 3. Fasten the other end of the sample loop (23-2) with a second ■ 6.2744.010 PEEK pressure screw (23-7) to connector 6. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...

The composition of the eluent has a crucial effect on the chromatographic analysis: Concentration An increase in the concentration generally leads to shorter retention times and faster separation, but also to higher background conductivity. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
To protect the high pressure pump against foreign particles, we recom- mend that the eluent undergoes a microfiltration (filter 0.45 µm) before being aspirated via a 6.2821.090 aspiration filter (see "Assembling eluent aspiration tubing", page 23). ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
3 Unscrew the pump head output capillary (18-13) from the pump head. 4 Remove pump head from the pump housing by loosening the 4 fas- tening screws (18-5) using the 6.2621.030 hexagon key. The main ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...

Avoid touching the sealing surface in the pump head (18-4) with the tool. Screw the special tool for the piston seal (27-1) with the narrow side just as far into the piston seal as the same can be removed. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Guide the sleeve of the tool for the piston seal (27-2) with inserted piston seal into the pump head and press the seal with the wide end of the tool for the piston seal (27-1) into the pump head recess. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Cleaning the inlet valve and outlet valve 1 Removing valves Unscrew the connection capillary for the auxiliary piston (18-1) ■ from the outlet valve holder. Unscrew the holders for the inlet and outlet valves and remove ■ valves. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Only if this cleaning is useless, dismantle the valves separately and clean the components. 3 Dismantling valve Dismantle every valve separately. Note For dismantling the valve the 6.2617.020 tool for valve cartridges is required. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
The components of the valve are very small. In order not to lose them, put the components into a dish. The inlet valve and the outlet valve consist of the same, just differ- ■ ently arranged components (see Figure 33, page 51). ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
Reassemble valve components according to figure 33, page 51. Insert the seal with the larger opening faced downwards into the ■ recess of the tool. Lay the other valve components above another in the correct ■ sequence (see Figure 33, page 51). ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module IC Module...
