2.9 Putting into operation
790 Personal IC

3 Start system
Make sure, that the aspirating tubing 6.1834.010 for the high-
pressure pump is immersed in the eluent.
Select
Startup determination
from the
Control
menu in the sys-
tem window. The high-pressure pump and the peristaltic
pump are started, at the same time, a chromatogram window
is opened where the baseline is recorded continuously. The
suppressor module is automatically switched to the next
position every 20 min and conditioned in this way.
4 Set contact pressure for pump tubings

upwards until regeneration and rinsing solution just start to be
drawn in.
Then press contact pressure lever

upwards until it clicks
once more to obtain optimal contact pressure.
5 Check for leaks
Check all capillaries and their connections between the high-
pressure pump and the detector block for escaping liquid. If
eluent escapes anywhere, the appropriate compression fit-
ting must be tightened further or changed.
6 Condition system
Rinse the system with eluent until the desired stability of the
baseline is reached (normally 30
60 min; if the eluent is
changed, the establishment of the ion exchanger equilibrium
on the separating column can take longer). After this time the
suppressor module is sufficiently conditioned too.
The instrument is now ready for sample determinations using
the selected system.
Pump tubings are consumable material with a lifetime, which depends
on the contact pressure. This is why the tubing cartridges should be
raised completely by loosening snap-action lever on the right-hand
side if the pump is to remain switched off for a considerable length of
time (the set contact pressure remains unchanged).
