B.10 Connecting the Waste Lines
The ICS-1000 has the following waste lines:
• PUMP WASTE carries prime waste from the pump.
• TO WASTE OUT carries sample overflow from the injection valve.
• WASTE, GAS SEPARATOR carries system waste from the suppressor.
Untape the coiled waste lines from the rear panel. Place the ends of the
PUMP
WASTE
and TO WASTE OUT lines into a waste container.
Direct the
WASTE, GAS SEPARATOR line from the top of the ICS-1000 to the rear
panel. Snap the line onto one of the tubing clips on the rear panel. Connect the line
to the gas separator waste tube (see Section B.10.1
).
NOTE To prevent waste from siphoning back into the system,
check the lines periodically to be sure they are not bent,
pinched, or elevated at any point.
