3.4.2 Fill the Reservoir
Fill the reservoir with ASTM filtered, Type I (18-megohm) deionized
water.
3.4.3 Set the Eluent Level
After filling the reservoir, enter the volume of liquid in the reservoir in
one of the following locations:
•
On the
HOME
page in the
Eluent Level
field (see Figure 3-7 )
•
In the Eluent Bottle field on the Chromeleon Control panel (see
Figure 3-8 )
The ICS-2000 determines the eluent usage by monitoring the flow rate
and the length of time the pump is on. The ICS-2000 updates the field as
the eluent is used up. A warning first appears if the level falls below
200 mL. Warnings are repeated at 100 mL and 0 mL.
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.
