3. Remove the cardboard and foam cradle.
4. Remove the polyethylene bag.
5. Inspect the Dionex ICS-900 for any shipping
damage.
Connect a Thermo Scientific
Dionex AS Autosampler
(Optional)
1. Place the AS to the left of the Dionex ICS-900
on the workbench.
2. Route the needle seal line that extends from
the inject port in the AS through the
autosampler right side slot (see
) and
then through the Dionex ICS-900 left side
slot to the Dionex ICS-900 injection valve.
3. Connect the needle seal line to port
S
on the
injection valve (see
4. Notice the green waste line connected to port
W
on the injection valve. This line is routed to
the Dionex ICS-900 rear panel through the
tubing chase. It must be shortened and
rerouted to the AS drip tray:
a.
Pull the green waste line back through the
tubing chase to the front of the Dionex
ICS-900.
b. Cut this line to shorten it to 30 cm (12 in).
c.
Bend the shortened line about 5 mm
(0.2 in) from the end (to ensure it stays in
the AS drip tray). When bending the
tubing, be sure not to restrict the inner
diameter.
d. Push the end into the small round opening
on the right side of the AS drip tray (see
NOTE After the AS is configured for use with the
Dionex ICS-900 (see
), all AS injec-
tion types are supported. In addition, all
injection valve commands (whether issued
from Chromeleon™, Chromeleon Xpress,
or the AS front panel) can control the injec-
tion valve.
Figure 3. AS Autosampler drip tray
The needle seal line from the
autosampler inject port to the
Dionex ICS-900 injection valve is
specially constructed. It consists of
two tubes (one inside the other) that
are sealed at the end. This seal must
be maintained.
In addition, the line is calibrated for
use with the Dionex ICS-900. To
ensure correct autosampler
function, do not cut this line or
replace it with a different line.

Make sure the injection valve waste
line is not elevated above the
injection valve at any point between
the valve and the autosampler drip
tray.
