1.2 Overview of the ICS-2100
The ICS-2100 is an integrated ion chromatography system containing an eluent
generator, pump, injection valve, column heater, and conductivity detector. Other
system components, including a guard column, separator column, and suppressor
vary, depending on the analyses to be performed.
The ICS-2100 can be configured with a vacuum degas assembly for online eluent
degassing. If desired, the second eluent generator power supply can be configured
to power an auxiliary electrolytic device, such as a water purifier.
An optional second high-pressure valve (6-port or 10-port) can be installed for
sample preparation applications.
ICS-2100 operation can be controlled in one of two ways:
•
Remotely, with a personal computer running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Vista or
Windows XP and Chromeleon software (version 6.80 SR6a or later).
Chromeleon also provides data acquisition and data processing functions.
•
Locally, with the front panel LCD touch screen. The touch screen is used for
instrument control only. It does not provide data acquisition or data
processing functions. An analog output on the rear panel can be connected to
a separate data acquisition device.
For communication between the ICS-2100 and Chromeleon, the ICS-2100 is
connected to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on the computer or a USB hub.
For details, see the ICS-2100 installation instructions. Also refer to Installing the
Chromeleon Chromatography Management System with a Dionex Ion
Chromatograph (IC) (Document No. 031883).
