1.1 Description of the instrument
1 Introduction
1.1 Description of the instrument
The 816 IC Eluent Selector has two 3-way valves and can be integrated in an IC system via an RS232 interface. When used in a Metrohm
IC system it can be operated completely by remote control.
Up to three different eluents can be used with the 816 IC Eluent Selector. In this way the 816 IC Eluent Selector makes it easy to use step
gradients in order to optimize the separating performance of your system with difficult samples. A further frequent application is its use in a
2-channel system for investigating samples which require different
separating systems for their complete analysis, e.g. the determination
of cations and anions in a single sample. In combination with the
2-channel version of the 812 IC Valve Unit and the 761 Compact IC with
suppressor, the 816 IC Eluent Selector forms a compact IC system with
which the cations and anions in a single sample can be determined.

Attaching the eluent inlet tubing
1
• Screw the PEEK fittings of the three pieces of 6.1834.020
Aspiration tubing supplied loosely by hand into connec-
tions "A" and "B" of Valve I 5 and "C" of Valve II 7 of the IC
Eluent Selector. Tighten the screw fittings by using the
6.2621.050 ¼" Wrench (also included in the standard
equipment) to rotate them a further ¼ turn.
• Make sure that the other ends of the aspiration tubing are
immersed in the eluents.
Attaching the outlet to the IC pump
2
• Screw the 6.1834.030 Tubing connection 816-709 by hand
into the "PUMP" connection of Mixing chamber 6. Tighten
up the connection by using the 6.2621.050 ¼" Wrench to
rotate it a further ¼ turn.
• Slide the tubing end onto the capillary at the aspiration con-
nection of the IC pump.
Make sure that the tubing between the outlet of the IC Eluent Selector
and the IC pump is kept as short as possible by shortening the
6.1834.030 Tubing connection 816-709 accordingly. In this way you
minimize the dead volume and therefore the reaction time after
switching to a different eluent.

4.4 Validation / GLP
4.4 Validation / GLP
GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) requires, among other things, that the
precision and correctness of analytical instruments is checked at regular intervals by using SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures, SOP). An
example of such a standard operating procedure is available from
Metrohm under the title «Application Bulletin No. 277 – Validation of
Metrohm Ion Chromatographs». This SOP can be adapted for your
ion chromatography system and used for its validation.
The 816 IC Eluent Selector must be included as a part of the whole ion
chromatography system, whose most important components include
the pumps, separating columns, detector and evaluation system, in the
all-embracing validation of the whole system.
Please contact your local Metrohm agency in order to receive support in
validating your 816 IC Eluent Selector. It can also provide you with validation documentation which will help you to carry out your installation
qualification (IQ) and operational qualification (OQ).
Further information about QA, GLP and validation can also be found in
the brochure «Quality Management with Metrohm» which is also obtainable from your local Metrohm agency.
Checking the electronic and mechanical assemblies of Metrohm instruments can and should be undertaken within the framework of regular servicing by Metrohm technicians.

4.5 Warranty and conformity
4.5.1 Warranty
The warranty on our products is limited to defects that are traceable to
material, construction or manufacturing error which occur within 12
months from the day of delivery. In this case the defects will be rectified
in our workshops free of charge. Transport costs are to be paid by the
customer.
For day and night operation the warranty is limited to 6 months.
Glass breakage in the case of electrodes or other parts is not covered
by the warranty. Checks which are not a result of material or manufacturing faults are also charged during the warranty period. For parts from
outside manufacturers, insofar as these constitute an appreciable part
of our instrument, the warranty stipulations of the manufacturer in question apply.
With the regard to the guarantee of accuracy the technical specifications in the instruction manual are authoritative.
Concerning defects in materials, construction or design as well as the
absence of guaranteed features the purchaser has no rights or claims
except those mentioned above.
If damage of the packaging is evident on receipt of a consignment or if
the goods show signs of transport damage after unpacking, the carrier
must be informed immediately and a written damage report demanded.
Lack of an official damage report releases Metrohm from any liability to
pay compensation.
If any instruments and parts have to be returned then the original packaging should be used if at all possible. This applies above all to instruments, electrodes, buret cylinders and PTFE pistons. Before embedment in wood shavings or similar material the parts must be packed in
a dustproof package (for instruments the use of a plastic bag is essential). If open assemblies are included that are sensitive to electromagnetic voltages (e.g. data interfaces, etc.) then these must be returned in
the associated original protective packaging (e.g. conductive protective
bag). (Exception: assemblies with a built-in voltage source belong in
non-conductive protective packaging).
For damage which arises as a result of non-compliance with these instructions no warranty responsibility whatsoever will be accepted by
Metrohm.
