The Dionex DRS 600, Dionex ERS 500e, and Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate suppressors are installed in the column compartment or detector compartment of the chromatography module immediately after the analytical column and before the conductivity detector cell. All components required for installation of the suppressor are included with the system:
- Gas separator waste tube (Item # 045460)
CAUTION
The Dionex DRS 600, Dionex ERS 500e, and Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate must be operated with the Gas Separator Waste Tube (Item # 045460)
- Backpressure coil(s)
- 4 mm (Item # 045877)
- 2 mm (Item # 045878)
NOTE
Backpressure coils are only required when carbonate eluents are used, or with systems that do not have an inline eluent degasser.
Options:
- Dionex CRS/DRS/ERS Installation Kit (Item # 038018)
(Pressurized Water Delivery System used with AutoSuppression External Water Mode, Chemical Suppression Mode, or MPIC Suppression Mode). - Peristaltic Pump Kit (Item # 064508). (Water delivery system used with AutoSuppression External Water Mode, Chemical Suppression Mode, or MPIC Mode).
NOTE
¼-28 or 10-32 ferrule/bolt style liquid lines might be required for installation and use of a Dionex DRS 600. See Dionex Liquid Line Fittings for complete details.
Dionex DRS and Dionex ERS controls are provided by power supplies that can deliver power in 1 mA increments up to 500 mA.
It is required to use a power supply that can deliver current in 1 mA increments, such as the Thermo Scientific Dionex RFC-10 or Dionex RFC-30. Compatible Dionex ERS Control is integrated into modern instruments, including the Dionex ICS series (excluding Dionex ICS-90, Dionex ICS-90A, Dionex ICS-600 and Dionex ICS-900), Dionex Integrion and Dionex Aquion.

CAUTION
The Dionex DRS 600, Dionex AERS 500e and Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate suppressors are not designed or validated for use with discrete power supplies (power supplies that deliver current at discreet 50, 100, 300 or 500 mA levels).
Discrete power supplies integrated into older systems, such as the CDM-3 and PED-2 of the Dionex DX-300, the Dionex DX-100 (Model 1-03), Dionex DX-120, Dionex DX-320 (IC20 and IC25 models), Dionex DX-500 (CD20 and ED40 detectors), and Dionex DX-600 (CD25 and ED50 detectors).
The use of discrete power supplies is no longer supported by Thermo Scientific.
