Leak sensor The leak sensor detects leaking liquid that collects in the instrument's base tray. Liquid that leaks in the instrument is routed to the base tray using drainage tubing and detected there. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
The rotor required for the application and any adapter that is required must be ordered separately. Peristaltic pump The peristaltic pump is used for pumping sample and auxiliary solutions. It can rotate in both directions. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 2.2 Intended use Detector Metrohm offers a series of different detectors for various analysis tasks. A suitable detector type must be ordered as a separate device. Sample degasser The sample degasser removes gas bubbles and dissolved gases from the sample.
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part of the international standard IEC 61010. WARNING Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service work on electronic components. WARNING Never open the housing of the instrument. The instrument could be damaged by this.
The correct disposal of your old instrument will help to prevent negative effects on the environment and public health. More details about the disposal of your old instrument can be obtained from your local authorities, from waste disposal companies or from your local dealer. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)

Always wear gloves when handling the aspiration filter. In order to avoid air bubbles after the installation of the aspiration fil- ter, we recommend pre-rinsing the aspiration filter with water or elu- ent. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
Tighten the aspiration filter to the filter holder. ■ Figure 4 Installing tubing weighting and aspiration filter Connecting the eluent degasser The eluent degasser is completely connected. No installation work is required. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
Rotor A (6.2844.000), must first be fitted into the adapter (6.2842.020), which can then be inserted into the suppressor housing. A connecting piece (6.2835.010) is used for all rotors for connecting the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) to the IC system. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
■ Connecting piece (6.2835.010) ■ Large rotors can be inserted directly into the rotor housing. CAUTION The rotor may be destroyed during start-up if not inserted correctly. Therefore, follow the following instructions exactly. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
4.12.2 Connecting the Metrohm Suppressor Module (MSM) The three entries and exits of the suppressor units, numbered 1, 2 and 3 on the connecting piece, each have two permanently installed PTFE capil- laries. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)

Adjust the contact pressure of the peristaltic pump (see "Setting ■ the contact pressure correctly", page 26). 6 Rinsing the instrument without columns Rinse the instrument (without columns) with eluent for 10 ■ minutes. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
For this step, you need the following accessories: Guard column (suitable for separation column) ■ Connecting the guard column Rinsing the guard column 1 Rinsing the guard column Place a beaker under the guard column's outlet. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
(follow the information provided by the manufacturer). NOTE Connect the separation column only after the initial start-up of the instrument. Until that point, insert a coupling (6.2744.040) instead of the guard column and separation column. ■■■■■■■■ 930 Compact IC Flex Oven/ChS/PP/Deg (2.930.2360)
