3. Follow the instructions in the consumable or accessory manual to
connect the product to the ballast reservoir. The Thermo Scientific
Dionex VP Vacuum Pump Package (P/N 066463) includes the tubing
and fittings required for this.
NOTE For an illustration of the typical connections
between the Dionex VP and a Dionex CRD 300,
see Figure 7
.
If these instructions are not included in the product manual, follow
the steps below to complete the connections as shown in Figure 3
:
a. Remove the plug from one of the inlet fittings on the reservoir
cap (see Figure 4
).
b. Locate the following items in the Thermo Scientific Dionex VP
Vacuum Pump Package (P/N 066463): 1/8-in flangeless ferrule
fitting (P/N 048949), 1/4-28 flangeless nut (P/N 048951), and
0.16-cm (0.062-in) ID PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing
(P/N 014157).
c. Install the ferrule fitting and nut on one end of the PTFE tubing.
Connect this end of the tubing to the inlet fitting from which the
plug was removed. Connect the other end of the tubing to the
consumable or accessory.
4. Connect the 15V power supply (P/N 940068) provided in the Thermo
Scientific Dionex VP Vacuum Pump Package (P/N 066463) to the
DC
IN
connector on the Dionex VP rear panel (see Figure 2).
5. Connect a power cord to the power supply and to a grounded, single-
phase power source.
SHOCK HAZARD—To avoid electrical shock, use a grounded
receptacle. Do not operate the Dionex VP or connect it to a power
source without an earthed ground connection.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Make
sure the socket-outlet is located near the Dionex VP and is easily
accessible.
