3. Connect the blue sample out line from port 2 on the diverter valve to
port S on the injection valve of system #2.
4. Route the green waste lines connected to port W (6) on each injection
valve through the side slots to the AS drip tray. Insert one line into the
small round opening in the tray (see Figure B-23
). Insert the other
line about 12-mm (1/2-in) into the large drain opening in the tray.
5. Calibrate the inject port volume (the volume of the needle seal and
diverter valve line) for each system. Refer to Section 5.9
for
instructions.
B.3.7 Connecting a Second AS to a Dual ICS-3000 System
When an ICS-3000 Detector/Chromatography module (DC) is configured
with two injection valves, two AS Autosamplers can be connected to the
DC. The first AS is installed on the left side of the DC and the second AS
is installed on the right side.
A Second AS Kit (P/N 062578) is available for connecting the second AS
to the DC. The kit consists of a 24-in needle seal assembly (P/N 062564)
and a metal tubing chase (062579) and mounting screws (P/N 057058).
The tubing chase routes the needle seal line across the front of the AS
compartment to the DC.
1. Remove the existing needle seal assembly from the AS and install the
24-inch assembly (see Section 5.7
).
2. After reinstalling the drip tray, do not fully tighten the drip tray screw.
3. Use the two screws to attach the metal tubing chase to the front of the
AS compartment (see Figure B-36
).
4. Route the needle seal line behind the face of the drip tray through the
tubing chase to the left side of the AS (see Figure B-36
).
