Operative range of the pump systems The Pump Module C-601 pumps 2.5 to 250 ml/min of solvent at a maximum pressure of 10 bar. The Pump Module C-605 pumps 2.5 to 250 ml/min of solvent at a maximum of 50 bar. ATTENTION Do not connect the Pump Module C-605 to the Pump Controller C-610, otherwise an error message appears on the display.

5 Putting into operation Connect the pump module a to the pump control- ler b via data bus RS-485 by means of the cable RJ45 d. c TTL IN/OUT. Fig. 5.6: Rear connections of pump controller and pump module The overpressure sensor switches off the pump if the pressure exceeds 10 bar. This maximum pres- sure of 10 bar cannot be changed.
5 Putting into operation 5 .3 .3 Pump system 2: Pump Manager C-615 and 1 Pump Module C-601 or C-605 The “or” between 601 and 605 indicates that operation is either possible with Pump Module C-601 up to 10 bar or with Pump Module C-605 up to 50 bar.

6 Operation Operation This chapter explains the operating elements and possible operating modes. It gives instructions on how to operate the Pump Combination properly and safely. ATTENTION Check the glassware for damages prior to each operation and use only glassware in perfect condi- tion.
Pump system 2, 3: Pump Manager C-615 and 1 - 2 Pump Modules C-601/605 Pump Manager C-615 can be operated with one or two Pump Modules C-601or one or two Pump Modules C-605. Since the pump modules only differ with regard to the maximal pressure, they will be described collectively.

Creating a new program, example: Prerequisites: Two pump modules, e.g. C-605, are installed, each with a solvent. No solvent Valve Set is installed. A gradient program P02 is created that initially runs for 25 minutes isocratically with pure Eluent A, then, for 30 minutes, the concentration of Eluent B is continuously increased to 35% and finally this concentration B is maintained for 20 minutes.
6 .3 Pump system 4: Control Unit C-620 and 2,3 or 4 C-601 or C-605 When the Pump Module C-601/605 is used, the address switches must be set to 1 and 2. In case further Pump Modules C-601/605 are used, the address switches must be set to 3 and 4.
6 Operation 6 .4 Calibration ATTENTION Before carrying out the calibration make sure that the system is free of air. Always calibrate the system under your actual working conditions (flow rate, backpressure, column). After calibration carry out the measurement again to check the current pump flow rate. The pump flow rate can be influenced by the following factors: •...
6 Operation 6 .4 .2 Calibration of the Pump Manager C-615 Requirements: To calibrate the Pump Manager C-615 you need a graduated cylinder and a stopwatch. Set the pump flow rate to 100 ml/min and the time to one minute. Place the pressure tubing into the graduated cylinder and start the pump.
7 Maintenance Maintenance This chapter provides instructions on all required maintenance to keep the instrument in good working condition. WARNING All maintenance and repair work requiring the opening or removal of instrument covers and lids must be carried out by trained personnel and only with the tools provided for this purpose. WARNING Electrical hazard: •...
7 Maintenance 7 .5 .1 Cleaning the seals To prolong the lifetime of the seals and in case of unwanted sample contamination (foaming or boiling retardation) rinse the seals with water or ethanol. Dry the cleaned seals with a soft cloth. 7 .5 .2 Changing the seals Visually examine the seals regularly, if seals become cracked and brittle replace them with new ones.
7 Maintenance 7 .6 Piston backrinsing ATTENTION When working with aqueous saline solutions, residues might collect behind the piston seal. These residues must be removed since they can contribute to a faster wearing of the seals. The system can be rinsed with a spraying device filled with water.
7 Maintenance • Remove the valve screw fittings and tubing. • Remove the valves and insert the new valves. The inlet valve is marked by one ring a at the head end, and is attached with that ring facing the pump head in the direction of the arrow. The outlet valve is marked by two rings b at the head end and is inserted into the pump with the unmarked side first.
The appropriate course of action is listed in the column “Corrective measure”. The elimination of more complicated malfunctions or errors is usually performed by a BUCHI technical engineer who has access to the official service manuals. In this case, please refer to your local BUCHI customer service agent.

Refill solvent bottle B. Check level sensor position. Check level sensor adjustment. No pressure sensor connected. Check connection; otherwise, contact the BUCHI customer service 8 .2 Pulsation of a pump module A repeated strong pulsation of the pumps suggests that the opening or closing times of the inlet or outlet valves are not correct.
