To prevent against unnecessary gas usage, an automatic but controlled gas shut off valve is
integrated into the gas inlet manifold
1
. This will only allow gas to pass into the instrument when
the instrument is operating. Should the instrument default to a standby mode the gas valve will
close after 15 minutes.
THE GAS INLET VALVE WILL BE CLOSED WHEN THE
INSTRUMENT IS FIRST POWERED ON AND WILL ONLY OPEN
ONCE THE INSTR UMENT IS SET TO RUN MODE
Fluid Connection
The eluent from the chromatography system is connected to the front of the instrument via the
low dead volume Valco bulkhead connector provided.
USE ONLY VALCO FITTINGS
The liquid inlet port is connected directly to the nebuliser by a short length (190mm) of capillary
tube giving a delay volume from port to nebuliser tip of ~5…l.
Extraction
The PL-ELS 2100/2100 Ice is provided with tubing for venting the exhaust gases and vapors,
and so does not need to be placed in a fume cupboard. Instead, the exhaust hose provided must
be attached to the rear of the unit and vented to a fume hood or other disposal unit. Ensure the
exhaust hose has an upward slope from the PL-ELS 2100/2100 Ice so that any condensed solvent
is collected in the waste bottle at the front of the unit and to prevent it accumulating in the
tubing.
THE EXHAUST MUST BE EXTRACTED TO A SUITABLE FUME

Data Connection
Analogue Signal Connector
The PL-ELS 2100/2100 Ice is fitted with an analogue output (0-1V) to allow connection with a
data acquisition interface.
