E•FAQ
E.1 How do I hook up an autosampler?
For instructions on how to connect the ICS-1000 to an AS50 autosampler, see
Section B.17
of this manual. To connect an AS40, see Section B.18. Also see the
AS50 Autosampler Operator’s Manual (Document No. 031169) or the AS40
Automated Sampler Operator’s Manual (Document No. 034970). The manuals
are included on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891), located in
the ICS-1000 Ship Kit (P/N 057905).
E.2 How do I print?
Click the Print toolbar button in Chromeleon (see Section 2.3).
E.3 Why are the retention times moving?
Retention times can shift if the pump flow is erratic or if the column or eluent is
contaminated. See Section 4.6
for pump flow rate troubleshooting. If a
contaminated column is suspected, clean the column as instructed in the column
manual. The column manual is included on the Dionex Reference Library CD-
ROM (P/N 053891), located in the ICS-1000 Ship Kit (P/N 057905).
E.4 How do I adjust retention times?
Retention times are calculated during calibration. The Use Recently Detected
Retention Time parameter in the Chromeleon QNT Editor (General tab) can be
used to compensate for some types of retention time drifts; for example,
evaporation of volatile components in pre-mixed solvents or an aging column.
Refer to the Chromeleon Help or user’s guide for details.
