1.1 Instrument description
The 732 IC Detector is a conductivity detector especially designed for
ion chromatography with an extensive operating range and high sensi-
tivity for the recording of chromatograms with and without chemical
suppression. The associated thermostattable detector block is normally
installed in the 733 IC Separation Center, but can also be used as a
separate detector. The two following versions are available:
• 2.732.0010 IC Detector with standard detector block
• 2.732.0110 IC Detector with metal-free detector block
The 732 IC Detector is operated using the keypad with operator guid-
ance via the two-line LCD. In addition to setting of the measurement
parameters, time programs can be generated which can be used to ini-
tiate a large number of instrument functions for each of the maximum
20 program steps. Further, the same functions can be executed at a
specific time with 4 programmable "events".
The 732 IC Detector is equipped with various interfaces for communi-
cation purposes. Recorders, integrators or the «IC Metrodata for
Win95» chromatography data system can be connected to the analog
output (1 V or 10 mV) for the plotting and evaluation of chromatograms.
The two RS232 interfaces are used for the connection of a 709 IC
Pump, a printer or a PC for remote control of the IC system. Finally,
programmable signals at a "remote" interface can be employed to con-
trol any external devices which, in turn, can start functions at the IC
system.
The 733 IC Separation Center is a thermally and electronically iso-
lated wet part which accommodates injectors, columns, detectors,
suppressor module and pulsation dampener and is controlled by the
732 IC Detector. The following versions are available:
• 2.733.0010 IC wet part with 1 injector for a one-channel system
with electronic suppression
• 2.733.0020 IC wet part with 2 injectors for a two-channel system
with electronic suppression
• 2.733.0120 IC wet part with 2 injectors for a two-channel system
with electronic suppression, metal-free
• 2.733.0030 IC wet part with 1 injector and 1 Metrohm
Suppressor Module MSM for a one-channel system
with chemical suppression
• 2.733.0130 IC wet part with 1 injector and 1 Metrohm
Suppressor Module MSM for a one-channel system
with chemical suppression, metal-free
