NOTE
If you are installing an ED, set up the eluent generator (see
) before completing the IQ checklist and per-
forming the system function test. The test for an ED requires
KOH eluent. The test for a CD requires only deionized water.
4.2.5
Performing the System Function Test
Complete the system function test to verify that the basic system components
(injection valve, pump, and detector) are functioning correctly. For
instructions, refer to
Dionex ICS-5000

System Installation Qualification
(Document No. 065402), provided in the DC Ship Kit (P/N 072011, standard
DC; P/N 22171-62000, low-temperature DC).
4.2.6
Completing the Operational Qualification
If you purchased the Operational Qualification (OQ) option, complete the
procedure now for a CD system. For an ED system, complete the OQ after
plumbing the EG.

Plumbing the EG for Analytical IC Applications
Refer to the Dionex EGC and CR-TC manuals for the optimal operating
conditions for your application. The manuals are provided on the Thermo
Scientific Reference Library DVD (P/N 053891).

EPM Electrolytic pH Modifier require specialized procedures
for installation and conditioning. For details, refer to the
product manuals. The manuals are provided on the Thermo
Scientific Reference Library DVD (P/N 053891).
For an illustration of the liquid flow path through the EG components after all
conditioning and plumbing connections are complete, see

analytical systems).
NOTE
Some RFIC systems require a backpressure coil. If the sys-
tem pressure is below 14 MPa (2000 psi) at system equilibra-
tion (see
), install a backpressure coil between the
