The Dionex reagent-free controller (RFC) is an external power supply available in two versions. See the following table.

Dionex DRS 600, Dionex ERS 500e, Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate

1 mA resolution to the suppressor

Dionex RFC-30

  • Dionex DRS 600, Dionex ERS 500e, Dionex AERS 500 Carbonate
  • Dionex Eluent Generator Cartridge (Dionex EGC), Dionex CR-TC Continuously Regenerated Trap Column

1 mA resolution to the suppressor, eluent generator; voltage to the Dionex CR-TC

See the Dionex RFC Operator’s Manual for suppressor operating and installation instructions with the following Dionex products:

  • Dionex DX-320/320J
  • Dionex DX-500, Dionex DX-600, or Dionex ICS-2500
  • Dionex DX-120

NOTE

If a DRS Mode or ERS Mode is not available, select the equivalent SRS Mode on the power supply to support the Dionex DRS 600 or Dionex ERS 500e 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 500 suppressor. 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.
