OVERLOAD

As the selected full-scale range is clearly less than the

measured absolute conductivity, red overload display 88 on

the 732 IC Detector now lights up.

3 Trigger auto-zero

ZERO

Press the key. This starts the automatic elec-

tronic background compensation. During zeroing, the

green LED in the key starts to flash.

As soon as zeroing is at an end, the green LED in the

key is permanently on. The top line of the display

shows the auto-zero value in place of the absolute con-

ductivity. In contrast to the absolute conductivity, the auto-

zero value is always outputted with the sign in front of the

number.
With the auto-zero function the current conductivity value

becomes the new zero point of the selected full-scale

range. Each time the key is pressed, the meas-

uring signal is always reset to zero. The auto-zero function

can be switched off with the key.

4 Set injection valve A to "FILL"

FILL

Press the key for injection valve A at the 733 IC

Separation Center. This switches the injection valve to the

"FILL" position. This position is indicated by lighting up of

the green LED in the key.

5 Fill sample loop

Immerse the aspirating tubing 88

88 attached to connection

22 in the standard solution.

Using the syringe fixed to connection 21

21 siphon in ca. 1 mL

standard solution.

6 Set injection valve A to "INJECT"

INJECT

Press the key for injection valve A on the 733 IC

Separation Center and the chromatogram is started. This

switches the injection valve to the "INJECT" position. The

"INJECT" position is indicated by lighting up of the green

LED in the key.

At the same time start the recorder (if used).
An integrator attached to the 733 IC Separation Center or a

PC with evaluation software (e.g. «IC Metrodata for Win95»)

is started automatically when injection valve A is switched

to the "INJECT" position.
