 If an EG is installed, start the EG and set the eluent concentration (see
page 131
)
 Start the DC (see page 135) or TC (see page 137)
 Equilibrate the system and verify operational readiness (DC: see page 136;

Notes:
• If the system is controlled by Chromeleon, you can use the SmartStartup
Wizard to create a startup program and sequence. SmartStartup allows
automatic system startup and equilibration.
• The Start up button on the Home tab on the ICS-3000 panel tabset starts the
system components (pump, suppressor, eluent generator, CR-TC, detector,
etc.). The flow rate, suppressor current, and other settings that were in effect
when the system was shut down are restored.
