B • Installation
This chapter provides instructions for the initial installation of the ICS-90 Ion
Chromatography System.
NOTE These installation instructions are also shipped with the
ICS-90 as a printed manual (Document No. 031856).
B.1 Facility Requirements
• Make sure the ICS-90 installation site meets the power and environmental
specifications listed in Appendix A.
• The ICS-90 requires a sturdy workbench of a height that ensures convenient
access to the interior.
• Allow at least 15 cm (6 in) behind the ICS-90 for power connections and
ventilation. For optimal performance, install the ICS-90 in a draft-free
location, out of the path of air conditioning and heating vents.
• A clean gas source regulated to between 0.55 and 0.83 MPa (80 and 120 psi)
is required for pressurization of the eluent reservoir.
• Use ASTM filtered, Type I (18-megohm) deionized water when preparing
eluent and regenerant.
