Installation

This document provides instructions for the initial installation of the ICS-2100 Ion Chromatography System
NOTE The order of the steps is important. It is especially
important to install the Chromeleon Management System before connecting the USB cable and turning on the system power.

1. Facility Requirements

• Make sure the installation site meets the following environmental
specifications: Main Power: 100 to 240 Vac, 50 to 60 Hz (Auto-sensing power supply; no
manual voltage or frequency adjustment required)
Operating Temperature: 4 to 40 °C (40 to 104 °F Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity, noncondensing
• Provide a sturdy workbench for the system of a height that ensures convenient
access to the interior of the ICS-2100.
• Allow at least 15 cm (6 in) behind the system for power connections and
ventilation. For optimal performance, install the system in a draft-free location, out of the path of air conditioning and heating vents.
• (Optional) For pressurization of the eluent reservoir, provide a clean gas
source regulated to between 0.55 and 0.83 MPa (80 and 120 psi). An air regulator accessory (P/N 060054) is required to regulate the pressure to between 0.03 and 0.04 MPa (5 and 6 psi).
®
Chromatography
)
Do not pressurize the eluent reservoir above 0.07 MPa (10 psi).
Ne mettez jamais les réservoirs d'éluants sous une pression supérieure à 0,07 MPa (10 lb/po²).
Doc. 065294-01 3/09 1
ICS-2100 Installation Instructions
Setzen Sie den Eluentbehälter auf keinen Fall einem Druck über 0,07 MPa aus.

ICS-2100 Installation Instructions
Das IC system wiegt über 30 kg. Daher sollte das Gerät nur von zwei oder mehr Personen angehoben werden. Greife n Sie dazu an beiden Seiten unter das Gerät. Heben Sie den Ionen chromatographen nicht an der Vordertür an, da dadurch die Türangeln beschädigt werden könnten.
8. Inspect the system for any shipping damage. Reme mber to save the shipping
container and all packing material. You will need them in future if the IC system is shipped.

3. Connecting an Autosampler (Optional)

T o connect an AS-DV or AS Autosampler to the injection valve in the IC system, follow the instructions in the appropriate section below.
Notes:
• If an optional auxiliary valve is installed in the ICS-2100, it can be used as the
injection valve, instead of the standard valve configured with each system. After connecting the autosampler to the auxiliary valve (as described in the appropriate section below), configure the valve as the injection valve in Chromeleon. For instructions, refer to Installing the ICS-1100/1600/2100 Auxiliary Valve (Document No. 065288). The document is provided with the valve.
• To connect an AS-HV Autosampler, refer to the instructions in the AS-HV
Autosampler Operator’s Manual (Document No. 065125). The manual is
provided on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891 ).

3.1 Connecting an AS-DV Autosampler

1. Place the AS-DV to the left of the IC system on the workbench.
2. Open the IC system and the autosampler doors.

4. Connect the outlet sample line from the AS-DV to port
S(5) on the injection valve
(see Figure 5
).
Figure 5. IC System Injection Valve

3.2 Connecting an AS Autosampler

NOTE Dionex recommends using AS models that do not
have injection valves. If a valve is installed in the autosampler, it is switched at the same time as the valve in the IC system. This causes unnecessary wear on the autosampler valve. If your AS has an injection valve, contact Dionex for assistance.
1. Place the autosampler to the left of the IC system on the workbench.
2. Open the IC system and the autosampler doors.
AS-DV
3. Route the needle seal line that extends from the autosampler inject port through the autosampler right side slot (see Figure 6
) and then
through the IC system left side slot to the injection valve.
