1 • Introduction to the AS-DV
1.1 Overview of the AS-DV
The AS-DV Autosampler is a compact autosampler that is capable of delivering
between 0.1 mL and 5.0 mL of sample (in 0.1 mL increments) to the sample loop
or concentrator column in an ion chromatography system (for example, an ICS-
900, ICS-1100, ICS-1600, ICS-2100, or ICS-3000).
The AS-DV holds 50 vials (either 0.5 mL or 5.0 mL, or a combination of the two
sizes). Vials can be sampled in any order and multiple samples can be taken from
each vial. The AS-DV remembers the vial size and volume delivered for each vial
position, allowing multiple samples to be taken from a vial non-sequentially.
The unique PolyVial™ sample vial incorporates a cap that acts as a simple piston
to force sample out of the vial. This eliminates the need for an external sampling
pump. Sample can be delivered to a sample loop or a concentrator column with
backpressures up to 690 kPa (100 psi). Caps with a 20 μm filter are available to
remove solid materials from the sample before injection.
The AS-DV can be configured either without a valve (the standard configuration)
or with an optional 6-port high-pressure valve or 10-port high pressure valve.
The AS-DV is controlled with a PC running Windows®XP or Windows®Vista®
and the Chromeleon®Chromatography Management System (version 6.80 SR6a
or later). The AS-DV connects to the Chromeleon PC via a USB cable.
The AS-DV can also be operated under relay control from a device capable of
executing timed events, such as a previous generation ion chromatography system
without USB connectivity.
The AS-DV can be ordered with the accessories needed for sampling from either
0.5 mL vials or 5.0 mL vials:
•Order P/N 068908 to sample from 0.5 mL vials (Ship Kit P/N 071115)
•Order P/N 068907 to sample from 5.0 mL vials (Ship Kit P/N 068887)
NOTE Vials must be ordered separately.

LED Display
Four LEDs on the front panel of the AS-DV (see Figure 2-2) indicate the
status of the following autosampler functions.
Other status information and alarm messages are displayed in the Audit
Trail in Chromeleon. For a description of these messages, see Section 4.1.
Sampling Mechanism
The sampling mechanism consists of a sampling head tower, a vial
carousel, and a carousel cover (see Figure 2-1).
•The sampling head tower delivers sample from the sample vials to the
sample out line, which exits the front of the AS-DV (see
Section 2.1.2). For a description of how the sampling mechanism
operates, see Section 2.2.1.
•The carousel holds the PolyVials containing sample or rinse solution.
Vial numbers are molded into the top of the carousel to indicate the
sampling position. Vials can be placed in any order in the carousel.
The Chromeleon sequence controls the order in which sampling
occurs. For a description of how to create a sequence, see Section 3.6.
Sensors in the sampling mechanism detect the presence (and the size)
of the vial under the sampling head tower.

•The carousel cover protects light-sensitive samples and the interior of
the AS-DV. To access the sampling head tower and carousel, lift up
the cover.
Carousel Release Button
The Carousel Release button on the inside of the chassis performs two
functions:
•Engages and disengages the carousel from the motor.
•Resets vial memory (clears presence, vial size, and volume remaining
information). Before starting a run, always press Carousel Release to
reset the vial information.
PolyVials
The vial carousel holds up to 50 0.5 mL or 5.0 mL disposable plastic
PolyVials or a combination of the two sizes. Vial adapters (P/N 071901,
package of 50) are required to load 0.5 mL vials into the carousel.
Adapters are included in the AS-DV Ship Kit for 0.5 mL vials
(P/N 071115). PolyVials serve both rinse and sample functions.
Vial Caps
Vial caps perform an important function in sample loading (see
Section 2.2.1). They also minimize evaporation, contamination, or spills
of sample while awaiting use. Caps with 20 μm filters are available. The
filter traps particulates that might contaminate the analytical system.
PolyVials and caps can be used for loading sample to either a sample loop
or a concentrator column. An insertion tool (P/N 037987), included in the
AS-DV Ship Kit, simplifies insertion of the caps.
Appendix D contains part numbers for PolyVials, vial caps, and other
accessories.
To avoid trapping dust particles in the vial caps, always operate the
AS-DV with the carousel cover closed.
Before starting a run, always press the Carousel Release button to
disengage the carousel and reset the vial information. After loading
the vials in the carousel, press the Carousel Release button again to
engage the carousel.

Vial Adapters
Before loading a 0.5 mL vial into the carousel, insert a vial adapter
(P/N 071901, package of 50) onto the vial (see Figure 2-3). After you
load the vial into the carousel, twist the adapter slightly to the right to lock
the adapter in place.
Vial Tray
Vial trays (either for 0.5 mL or 5.0 mL vials) are included in the
respective AS-DV Ship Kit (P/N 071115, Ship Kit for 0.5 mL vials; P/N
068887, Ship Kit for 5.0 mL vials). Place vials into the tray and then fill
them until the liquid in the vials reaches the top of the tray.

2.1.2 Front Interior Features
Figure 2-5 illustrates the front interior of the AS-DV. To access the front
interior, remove the front cover by gripping the indentations at each side
and pulling the cover straight off toward you.
Sample Out Line
The sample out line is routed from the sampling mechanism through an
aperture in the front interior. From there, it is connected either to the high-
pressure valve in the AS-DV (if installed) or to the injection valve in the
IC system.
High-Pressure Valve (Optional)
Either a 6-port or a 10-port high-pressure valve can be installed in the AS-
DV. The valve can be configured to operate as an injection valve or an
auxiliary valve in an application (for example, it can be used as a bleed
valve or to load a concentrator column).
For details about operation of the high-pressure valve, see Section 2.2.3.
For valve installation instructions, see (see Section B.3.2).
