Figure 2-10. Server Configuration Properties: Degas Options
Degas Options
• Always Off: The degas pump is always off.
• Always On: The degas pump is always on. This setting is for test
purposes by a Thermo Fisher Scientific Service Representative. Do
not use this setting for routine operation.
• Cycle: The degas pump cycles on and off according to the times
specified in the
Cycle On and Off fields. Cycle On specifies for how
long the degas pump runs during a cycle.
Cycle Off specifies the time
between cycles.
• Monitor: (default mode) The Dionex ICS-1100 monitors the degas
pressure reading and turns the degas pump on and off as required.
