controls for each cartridge in the dual panel are the same as described for
the single cartridge panel controls (see
page 20 ).
Target Concentration
Sets the concentration of eluent generated. If a K

EluGen cartridge
and an EPM Electrolytic pH Modifier are installed (connected to
EGC-1
and
EGC-2
, respectively), set the EGC-1 Target Concentration to the
concentration of K

required for your application and set the EGC-
2 Target Concentration to the concentration of KHCO
3
required.
Applied Concentration
Displays the concentration of eluent currently being generated. For
carbonate/bicarbonate eluent, the
Applied Concentration for the
K
2
CO

cartridge is equal to the total of the target concentrations from
both cartridges. This is the actual concentration of K

that the
cartridge must generate in order to achieve the desired K
