ICS-1000 Ion Chromatography System3.4.4 Fill the ReservoirFill the reservoir with the prepared eluent.3.4.5 Set the Eluent LevelAfter filling the reservoir, enter the volume of liquid in the reservoir onthe Chromeleon Control Panel (see Figure 3-6). The ICS-1000 determinesthe eluent usage by monitoring the flow rate and the length of time thepump is on, and updates the Eluent Level field as the eluent is used up. Awarning first appears if the level falls below 200 mL. Warnings arerepeated at 100 mL and 0 mL.In order for the eluent level displayed on the Control Panel to beaccurate, the level must be entered by the user when the reservoir isfilled. The ICS-1000 does not automatically detect when the reservoiris filled, nor when it is empty.Enter the volume ofliquid in the reservoirNote: The Eluent Bottlefield and slider gaugeare updated as theliquid is used up.Figure 3-7.
