B.10 Connecting the Waste Lines
The ICS-2000 has the following waste lines:
•
PUMP WASTE
carries prime waste from the pump.
•
TO WASTE OUT
carries sample overflow from the injection valve.
•
WASTE, GAS SEPARATOR
carries system waste from the suppressor.
1. Untape the coiled waste lines from the rear panel. Place the ends of the
PUMP
WASTE
and
TO WASTE OUT
lines into a waste container.
2. Direct the
WASTE, GAS SEPARATOR
line from the top of the ICS-2000 to the
rear panel. Snap the line onto one of the tubing clips on the rear panel.
Connect the line to the gas separator waste tube (see
Section B.10.1 ).
NOTE To prevent waste from siphoning back into the system,
check the lines periodically to be sure they are not bent,
pinched, or elevated at any point.
B.10.1 Installing the Gas Separator Waste Tube
1. Locate the gas
separator waste tube
assembly in the ICS-
2000 Ship Kit
(P/N 064375).
2. Connect the
WASTE,
GAS SEPARATOR
line from the
suppressor to one of
the 3-mm (1/8-in) ID
white Teflon lines on
the gas separator
waste tube assembly
(see
Figure B-24 ).

3. Place the gas separator waste tube assembly into the waste container.
Make sure the tubing junction (where the white Teflon tubing meets
the black polyethylene tubing) is above the top of the container and
