Pressure and conductivity readings are the same as those displayed on the

The eluent bottle depicts the level of liquid in the eluent reservoir. The scale is
always 0 to 4 liters (regardless of the size of reservoir installed). After filling
the reservoir, go to the
HOME
page and enter the amount of liquid in the
reservoir (see Section C.4.1 ). The ICS-2000 monitors the eluent usage, based
on the flow rate and the length of time the pump is on. The “liquid” level in
the bottle falls as the reservoir empties. An error message is first displayed on
the screen when the level falls below 200 mL. The message is repeated at
100 mL and then at 0 mL.
Figure C-9. Status Page
In order for the eluent level displayed on the screen to be accurate,
the level must be entered by the user when the reservoir is filled. The
ICS-2000 does not automatically detect when the reservoir is filled,
nor when it is empty.
