3.1.2 Filling the Solvent Reservoir
1. If you plan to run a preprogrammed method, refer to Section 2.5 for
the recommended solvent. If you plan to run a custom method, review
the solvent selection guidelines in Section 3.1.1
.
2. Fill the solvent reservoir with prepared solvent to the level indicated
in Figure 3-1
.
NOTE The solvent level in the reservoir must remain
below the gas line. This prevents solvent from
coming into contact with the pneumatic valves.
3. Place the bottle in the recess on top of the system.
4. Insert the solvent and gas lines extending from the underside of the
bottle cap assembly into the bottle (see Figure 3-1
). Make sure the
end-line filter on the solvent line rests on the bottom of the bottle.
5. Hand-tighten the lock ring cap securely over the stopper.
6. If they are not already connected, screw the solvent line fitting into
the solvent connector on the ASE 150 and then push the gas line
fitting into the gas connector.
Use only Dionex solvent reservoirs. These are glass bottles with a
plastic, shatterproof coating. Make sure the pressure applied to the
bottles does not exceed 0.07 MPa (10 psi).
Utilisez uniquement des réservoirs à solvant Dionex. Ce sont des
réservoirs en verre à revêtement incassable en plastique. Veillez à ce
que la pression exercée sur ces réservoirs ne dépasse pas 0,07 MPa.
Verwenden Sie ausschließlich die Lösemittelbehälter von Dionex.
Dabei handelt es sich um Glasbehälter mit einer splittersicheren
Plastikbeschichtung. Vergewissern Sie sich, daß der Druck, der auf
die Behälter ausgeübt wird, 0,07 MPa nicht übersteigt.
Never fill the solvent reservoir or disconnect the tubing connections
to the solvent and gas connectors (see Figure 3-1
) during a run or
rinse cycle. At these times, the solvent reservoir is pressurized. If you
remove the bottle cap when the solvent reservoir is pressurized, the
ASE 150 may not operate to specification.
