1 Introduction Overview Power Switch Valve with Input and Output Ports Syringe Serial Port USB Port Plunger RS-485 Ports Thumbscrew Power Connector 1-1 Front and Back Views. IGURE The color and branding of the module may vary from what is shown here. Chemical Compatibility The syringe module is intended for use with sample matrices with the following characteristics:...
used at temperatures less than 135°C, they can withstand repeated exposure to the following substances: Predominantly aqueous solutions of acids (less than 10%), including HNO and HCl. Predominantly aqueous solutions of strong bases (less than 10%) Common organic solvents such as acetone, alcohols, ethyl acetate, Methylethylketone (MEK), petroleum oils and derived fuels, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, kerosene and xylene.
Space Requirements You will need easy access to the back of the syringe module to reach the power switch. As a minimum, allow at least 5 cm behind the syringe module for cable egress, ventilation, and access to the power switch. Always position the equipment so that it is easy to disconnect the power cord.
2 Installing the Syringe Module The syringe pump module may be placed on the workbench, or it can be attached to the autosampler using an optional mounting block. Installing the Accessory Module Mounting Blocks The syringe pump module can be mounted on an accessory mounting block, and the mounting block can be installed on either side of the autosampler.
