2.1.2 Top Cover
Figure 2-7 illustrates the top cover of the ICS-2000.
EluGen Cartridge and Reservoir
Storage
The ICS-2000 top cover holds
one or two EluGen
®
cartridges
(see below) and up to two 2-L
plastic reservoirs (P/N 044129).
EluGen Cartridges
The EluGen cartridges are
installed in holders that fit into
the two back reservoir areas.
See
Section 2.4.4 for details
about the eluent generator.
Tubing Chase
The tubing chase under the
EGC and CR-TC connectors
routes tubing from the eluent
reservoir and EGC holder to the
front of the ICS-2000.

EGC, EPM, and CR-TC Connectors
The cable from the EluGen cartridge (EGC) connects to the
EGC-1
connector. The cable from the Continuously Regenerated Trap Column
(CR-TC) connects to the
CR-TC
connector. See Section B.14 for
installation instructions. If a second EluGen cartridge is installed, it
connects to the
EGC-2
connector.

Electrolytic pH Modifier, the EluGen cartridge is typically connected to
the
EGC-1
connector. The pH modifier, which mounts on the side of the
EluGen cartridge holder, is connected to the
EGC-2
connector. However,
the connections can be reversed, if desired.
