The table below lists the ICS-900 error messages. For troubleshooting assistance,
refer to the page indicated in the table
.
This message may appear at when the ICS-900 power is turned on. If the
message appears at other times, it indicates a problem.
To troubleshoot:
1. Perform the suppressor inline quick start procedure:
a. Disconnect the separator column outlet line from the suppressor
ELUENT IN port and disconnect the cell inlet line from the suppressor
ELUENT OUT port. Use a union to connect these two lines.
b. Turn on the pump flow and allow the suppressor to regenerate for
10 minutes.
c. Turn off the pump and allow the suppressor to hydrate for 20 minutes.
d. Reconnect the separator column outlet line and cell inlet line to the
suppressor ports.
2. If the high background persists:
• Prepare fresh eluent (see Section 3.4).
• Prepare fresh regenerant (see Section 3.5).
