To troubleshoot:
1. Verify that the eluent generator cartridge is connected to the EGC-1
connector on top of the ICS-2000 (see Figure 2-7 ).
2. If the error persists, contact Dionex for assistance. There may be a
malfunction in the EGC control electronics.
The maximum eluent concentration that can be set for a particular application
depends on the suppressor type, the EGC type, and the flow rate. This error
occurs if the selected concentration is too high for the current flow rate.
To troubleshoot:
Refer to the column manual, which is included on the Dionex Reference
Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891), for the concentration of eluent to use with
your application. Reset the eluent concentration and/or the flow rate to the
recommended values.
This error occurs if the flow rate is set to a value not supported by the eluent
generator. The ICS-2000 allows a flow rate range of 0.00 to 5.00 mL/min
without an eluent generator. With an eluent generator, the allowed range is
0.10 to 3.00 mL/min.The recommended operating range is 0.40 to
2.00 mL/min.
To troubleshoot:
Set the flow rate to a value within the allowed range.
