ICS-1000 Ion Chromatography System3.10 Loading and Injecting SamplesSamples can be loaded into the sample loop through the injection port on the frontdoor using a syringe or vacuum syringe, or they can be loaded using anautosampler.For autosampler injections, the injection port tubing is disconnected from the ICS-1000 injection valve and replaced by the autosampler outlet tubing. Other setuprequirements depend upon the model of autosampler.Setup for an AS40 AutosamplerA relay or TTL connection is required for Chromeleon to control sample loading.See Section B.18 for AS40 autosampler installation instructions.Setup for an AS50 AutosamplerTo use an AS50 autosampler with the ICS-1000, the AS50 must meet thefollowing requirements:• An injection valve cannot be installed in the AS50• The AS50 must have Moduleware version 1.11 or later installed• Control of the ICS-1000 injection valve must be enabled in the AS50The following AS50 models are configured at the factory to meet the aboverequirements:• AS50 without injection valve (P/N 061309)• AS50 without injection valve; with sample preparation (P/N 061310)• AS50 without injection valve; with sample preparation and sample traycooling (P/N 061311)• AS50 without injection valve; with sample tray cooling (P/N 061312)See Section B.17 for AS50 autosampler installation instructions.After the AS50 is configured for use with the ICS-1000, all AS50 modes ofinjection (full-loop, partial-loop, and partial-loop limited-sample) are supported.In addition, all AS50 injection valve commands (whether issued from the AS50front panel or from Chromeleon) will control the ICS-1000 injection valve. ForChromeleon control, the AS50 must be added to the ICS-1000 timebase (seeSection B.8). For front panel control, the AS50 and ICS-1000 can be set up for3-14 Doc. 031879-01 3/03
