B • Installation
This chapter provides installation instructions for the AS Autosampler, including
initial setup instructions, optional component connections (sample preparation
option, diverter valve for sequential injections, second AS kit), and USB cable
connections for computer control.
If the installation instructions refer you to a manual for another Dionex instrument
or chromatography component, you can find the manual on the Dionex Reference
Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891), located in the AS Ship Kit (P/N 062380 or
P/N 062381).
B.1 Facility Requirements
•
Make sure the AS meets the power and environmental specifications listed in
Appendix A .
•
Install the AS on a sturdy workbench at a height that ensures convenient
viewing of the front panel display and access to the interior.
•
Place the AS on the workbench to the left of the other system module(s). This
allows the shortest liquid line connections between the AS and the
chromatography components (injection valve, pump, column, etc.).
•
If two AS Autosamplers are to be used with an ICS-3000
Detector/Chromatography module (DC), place one AS on the left side of the
DC and one on the right side. Use the Second AS Kit (P/N 062578) to set up
the AS on the right side (see
Section B.3.7 ).
