Conditioning the Dionex EGC
1. Locate the backpressure tubing (P/N 074582) in the IC Cube Ship Kit
(P/N 072003) and connect it between the
EGC OUT
line and the
EGC OUT
port.
2. Set the pump
Flow
rate to 0.03 mL/min and turn on the pump.
3. Verify that the luer adapter is installed on the top of the Dionex EGC to
allow venting of the Dionex EGC.
4. Set the EG concentration to 50 mM and turn on the Dionex EGC power.
Verify that the Dionex CR-TC voltage is off and the suppressor current is
off.
5. Condition the Dionex EGC for 30 minutes and then turn off the Dionex
EGC and the pump flow.

To ensure proper ventilation, always install the luer fitting on the
top of the Dionex EGC before operation. If you need to remove
the Dionex EGC from the system, install the vent fitting plug to
prevent leaks.
