Instrument description Existing 850 Professional IC instruments can be expanded to include addi- tional functions by means of 872 Extension Modules. Every 850 Professio- nal IC instrument can be supplemented with up to 3 extension modules. The 872 Extension ModuleSuppression – MCS permits to add an additional suppression module to a Professional IC system.
Intended use This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam- ples. The usage of the 872 Extension Module therefore requires that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling of toxic and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part of the international standard IEC 61010. Warning Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service work on electronic components. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module Suppression – MCS...
Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can be used to loosen connections. Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda- tory. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module Suppression – MCS...

The pump tubing is clamped between the rollers (4-3) and the tub- ing cartridge (4-5). During operation, the peristaltic pump drive rotates the roller hub (4-2), so that the rollers (4-3) push the liquid forward in the pump tubing. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module Suppression – MCS...
Release the tubing cartridge from the cartridge holder by pressing the snap-action lever and unhooking from the mounting pins (4-1). 2 Connecting the aspiration side Place a 6.2744.034 tubing olive (5-2) on the aspiration side of the pump tubing. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module Suppression – MCS...

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 3 Installation Suppressor drive The suppressor housing of the 872 Extension Module Suppression – MCS can hold various rotors. Large rotors like the SPM rotors A (6.2835.000) and the MSM-HC rotor A (6.2842.000) can be inserted directly. Small rotors like the MSM rotor A (6.2832.000) and the MSM-LC rotor A (6.2844.000) must first be fitted into the adapter (6.2842.010) which can...
