1. Disconnect the EluGen cartridge electrical cable from the EGC 1 (or
EGC 2) bulkhead connector. Twist the ring on the cable
counterclockwise to loosen it and then pull the cable straight out of
the connector.
2. Remove the backpressure tubing from the waste container and
remove the waste container.
3. Replace the 10-32 plug in the EluGen cartridge vent opening.
4. Lift the EluGen cartridge out of the holder, turn it upside down, and
place it on the drip tray in the service position (see Figure 9-14
).
5. Disconnect the backpressure coil from the EluGen cartridge
OUTLET
port.
6. Connect the
EGC OUT line to the OUTLET port.
To avoid damaging the suppressor and CR-TC, always turn them off
before conditioning the EluGen cartridge. The pump flow is on during
conditioning; however, no flow reaches the suppressor or CR-TC.
