Page 36: Solvent Information
Optimizing Performance Solvent Information Solvent Information Always filter solvents through 0.4 µm filters, small particles can permanently block the capillaries and valves. Avoid the use of the following steel-corrosive solvents: • Solutions of alkali halides and their respective acids (for example, lithium iodide, potassium chloride, and so on).
Page 37: Prevent Blocking Of Solvent Filters
Optimizing Performance Prevent Blocking of Solvent Filters Prevent Blocking of Solvent Filters Contaminated solvents or algae growth in the solvent bottle will reduce the lifetime of the solvent filter and will influence the performance of the binary pump. This is especially true for aqueous solvents or phosphate buffers (pH 4 to 7).
Page 38 Optimizing Performance Prevent Blocking of Solvent Filters Cleaning the Solvent Filters • Remove the blocked solvent filter from the bottle-head assembly and place it in a beaker with concentrated nitric acid (35%) for one hour. • Thoroughly flush the filter with bidistilled water (remove all nitric acid, some capillary columns can be damaged by nitric acid).
Page 39: When To Use A Vacuum Degasser
• binary pump was turned off for a length of time (for example, during night) and volatile solvent mixtures are used, or • solvents have been changed. For more information see the Reference Manual for the Agilent 1100 Series vacuum degasser.

Optimizing Performance When to Use Alternative Seals When to Use Alternative Seals The standard seals for the binary pump can be used for most applications. However applications that use normal phase solvents (for example, hexane) are not suited for the standard seals and require a different seals when used for a longer time in the binary pump.

When the indicator is illuminated (green) the power is ON. When the indicator is off, the module is turned OFF. Otherwhise check power connections, availability of power or check functioning of the power supply.
Page 50: Error Messages
Error Messages Error messages are displayed in the user interface when an electronic, mechanical, or hydraulic (flow path) failure occurs which requires attention before the analysis can be continued (for example, repair, frit exchange or exchange of consumables required). In the event of such a failure, the red status indicator at the front of the module is switched on, and an entry is written into the instrument logbook.
Page 51: Timeout
Troubleshooting and Test Functions Timeout Timeout The timeout threshold was exceeded. Probable Causes • The analysis was completed successfully, and the timeout function switched off the binary pump as requested. • A not-ready condition was present during a sequence or multiple-injection run for a period longer than the timeout threshold.
Page 52: Shutdown
Suggested Actions Fix the leak in the external instrument before restarting the binary pump. Check external instruments for a shut-down condition. Check the vacuum degasser for an error condition. Refer to the Reference Manual for the Agilent 1100 Series vacuum degasser.
Page 53: Remote Timeout
Troubleshooting and Test Functions Remote Timeout Remote Timeout A not-ready condition is still present on the remote input. When an analysis is started, the system expects all not-ready conditions (e.g. a not-ready condition during detector balance) to switch to run conditions within one minute of starting the analysis.

Troubleshooting and Test Functions Synchronization Lost Synchronization Lost During an analysis, the internal synchronization or communication between one or more of the modules in the system has failed. The system processors continually monitor the system configuration. If one or more of the modules is no longer recognized as being connected to the system, the error message is generated.
Page 55: Leak
Troubleshooting and Test Functions Leak Leak A leak was detected in the binary pump. The signals from the two temperature sensors (leak sensor and board-mounted temperature-compensation sensor) are used by the leak algorithm to determine whether a leak is present. When a leak occurs, the leak sensor is cooled by the solvent.

Troubleshooting and Test Functions Pressure Test Pressure Test Description The pressure test is a quick, built-in test designed to demonstrate the pressure-tightness of the system. The test should be used when problems with small leaks are suspected, or after maintenance of flow-path components (e.g., pump seals, injection seal) to prove pressure tightness up to 400 bar.

Page 204: Introduction To The Binary Pump
Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump The binary pump comprises two identical pumps integrated into one housing. It provides gradient generation by high-pressure mixing. Degassing is not included but a vacuum degasser is available as a separate product for applications that require best flow stability especially at low flow rates or maximum detector sensitivity.
Page 205 Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump Overview The binary pump is based on a two-channel, dual-piston in-series design which comprises all essential functions that a solvent delivery system has to fulfill. Metering of solvent and delivery to the high-pressure side are performed by two pump assemblies which can generate pressure up to 400 bar.
Page 206 Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump How Does the Binary Pump Work? The liquid runs from the solvent reservoir through an active inlet valve. Each side of the binary pump comprises two substantially identical pump units. Both pump units comprise a ball-screw drive and a pump head with two sapphire pistons for reciprocating movement.
Page 207 Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump range of 20 µl to 100 µl depending on the flow rate. The microprocessor controls all flow rates in a range of 1 µl/min to 5 ml/min. The inlet of the first pumping unit is connected to the active inlet valve which is processor-controlled opened or closed allowing solvent to be drawn into the first pump unit.
Page 208 Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump During the drawing stroke of the first piston, the second piston delivers the drawn volume into the system. Table 27 Binary Pump Details Delay volume From mixing point to pump outlet, dependent on back pressure 180 –...
Page 209 Introduction to the Binary Pump Introduction to the Binary Pump How Does Variable Stroke Volume Work? Due to the compression of the pump-chamber volume each piston stroke of the pump will generate a small pressure pulsation, influencing the flow ripple of the pump.

Page 212: Instrument Layout
Introduction to the Binary Pump Instrument Layout Instrument Layout The industrial design of the module incorporates several innovative features. It uses Agilent’s E-PAC concept for the packaging of electronics and mechanical assemblies. This concept is based upon the use of expanded polypropylene (EPP) layers foam plastic spacers in which the mechanical and electronic boards components of the module are placed.
Page 213: Early Maintenance Feedback (Emf)
Introduction to the Binary Pump Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) Maintenance requires the exchange of components in the flow path which are subject to mechanical wear or stress. Ideally, the frequency at which components are exchanged should be based on the intensity of usage of the instrument and the analytical conditions, and not on a predefined time interval.
Page 214 Introduction to the Binary Pump Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) Using the EMF Counters The user-settable EMF limits for the EMF counters enable the early maintenance feedback to be adapted to specific user requirements. The wear of pump components is dependent on the analytical conditions, therefore, the definition of the maximum limits need to be determined based on the specific operating conditions of the instrument.
