The following connections must be made: 816 IC Eluent Selector/ 8.816.
2 Installation 1 Attaching the eluent inlet tubing • Screw the PEEK fittings of the three pieces of 6.1834.020 Aspiration tubing supplied loosely by hand into connections "A" and "B" of Valve I 5 and "C" of Valve II 7 of the IC Eluent Selector. Tighten the screw fittings by using the 6.2621.050 ¼" Wrench (also included in the standard equipment) to rotate them a further ¼ turn. • Make sure that the other ends of the aspiration tubing are immersed in the eluents.
3.1 Manual operation 3 Operation 3.1 Manual operation Switching the instrument on/off • The 816 IC Eluent Selector is switched on and off with mains switch 8 (see Section 2.2.4). EXT. Switching to manual operation LED "EXT." 4 shows whether the instrument is controlled externally (LED lights up) or manually (LED is out). • Press the "EXT." 3 key to switch to manual operation of the 816 IC Eluent Selector. Select eluent LEDs 2 show which eluent is currently selected.
3 Operation 3.2.1 Symbol for 816 IC Eluent Selector 2.816.0010 816 IC Eluent Selector 3.2.2 Instrument parameters in the "816 IC Eluent Selector" window The 816 IC Eluent Selector window for parameter settings is opened with a double-click with the left-hand mouse key on the 816 symbol in the system window or by clicking on this symbol with the right-hand mouse key and then selecting the menu option Open. It consists of four register cards Manual, Aliases, Program and Links.
3.2 Operation via «IC Net» Aliases In the Aliases register card of the 816 IC Eluent Selector window you can freely define names for connections "A", "B" 5 and "C" 7 of the 816 IC Eluent Selector. Flow A Flow B Flow C You can rename Eluent A. You can rename Eluent B. You can rename Eluent C. The names of the eluents entered here replace the default names Eluent A – C in all the register cards of the 816 IC Eluent Selector window.
3 Operation Time (Column 1) Command (Column 2) Time for command to be executed. Range: 0.0 ... 999.9 min If no time is entered then the command will be carried out together with the last command for which a time has been entered. Switches the IC Eluent Selector to the required eluents. The alias names entered above will be shown for selection. ENABLED Program for program start is activated (if a program is not activated it will not start). Adds new program command.
