CAUTION
Always turn the pump and the Dionex Suppressor Control on and off at the same time. Eluent flow through the suppressor is required for proper operation.
Flowing eluent without current will cause the membranes, resin, and screens in the suppressor to become exhausted resulting in small analyte peak areas.
If this should occur, perform the procedure in Small or increasing analyte peak areas.
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).
NOTE
If a DRS Mode is not available, select the equivalent ERS Mode or SRS Mode on the power supply to support the Dionex DRS 600 suppressor. The Dionex DRS 600 and Dionex ERS 500e are fully compatible with SRS settings.
NOTE
The Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate suppressor has different electrical current requirements than the Dionex AERS 500e suppressor and earlier Dionex AERS 500 and Dionex ASRS 300 suppressors. If an AERS Carbonate mode is not available, the current applied to a Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate should be adjusted by a factor of 1.30 compared to a standard AERS 500 suppressor.
Chromeleon 7.2 SR3 MUa and later versions have an option for selecting an AERS_Carbonate suppressor in the Instrument Method Wizard and Editor dialog box.
Selecting this suppressor from the drop-down list will automatically apply the recommended current setting for Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate suppressors.
