Dionex ICS-900 - Pump Pressure Slope Calibration Error; Remaining Eluent below 200 Ml

4 • Troubleshooting
Doc. 065215-02 9/09 55
This error occurs if you try to calibrate the pressure slope when the pressure is
less than 3 MPa (500 psi).
To troubleshoot:
• Verify that the pump is on and the flow rate is at the rate required for the
application.
• Verify that the pressure gauge is working correctly.
• Verify that the correct number and type of backpressure coils are
installed. Refer to the tables on page 63
.
• Check for liquid leaks (see Section 4.2).
These errors occur when the ICS-900 determines that the eluent bottle
contains less than the volume specified in the message.
To troubleshoot:
• The ICS-900 determines the eluent usage by monitoring the flow rate and
the length of time the pump is on. For the eluent level to be accurate, you
must enter the level on the ICS-900 Control panel each time the bottle is
filled. After filling the bottle, move the Eluent Remaining slider on the
ICS-900 Control panel (see Figure 3-3
) to indicate the volume of liquid in
the bottle.
