B.2.6 Rinsing the System
Selecting the Rinse Cell
The rinse cell size (short, medium, or long) must be matched to the
extraction cell size. Each ASE 100 is shipped from Dionex with one rinse
cell in the required size (see the table below).
NOTE If you order an extraction cell in a size other than
the size originally shipped with the ASE 100, you
may need to order a different rinse cell.
Adjusting the Cell Holder
When the ASE 100 is shipped from the factory, the cell holder (on the
inside of the cell door) is positioned to accommodate either a 100 mL
extraction cell or a long rinse cell (see Figure B-9).
Before you can install a cell in any other size, you must reposition the
lower latch of the cell holder. For instructions, see Section B.2.7.
Rinsing the System
1. Install the rinse cell in the cell holder. Rinse cells are installed in the
same way as extraction cells; for instructions, see Section 3.4, Step 8.
2. Close the cell door.
3. Toggle the needle switch on the front panel (see Figure B-7) to the
UP
position.
4. Place a rinse bottle in the collection bottle holder (see Figure B-7).
5. Toggle the needle switch to the DOWN position.
6. Press the
RINSE
button to begin the rinse cycle. The LED on the
RINSE button turns on and will remain lighted while the rinse cycle is
in progress.
