b
Connect the other end of tube A to the quick- disconnect fitting on the
end of tube A to be connected to the reservoir output ports.
To connect the source and waste bottles to tube B:
1
Cut a length of tube A measured for the distance from the source bottle to
the Pump Module. Allow plenty of slack in the tubing.
2
Attach a quick- disconnect fitting to one end of tube A, and insert the
quick- disconnect fitting into the output port of the source bottle.
3
Connect the other end of tube A to the tube B connector on the input line.
4
Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the waste bottle, ensuring that you connect tube A
from the waste bottle to the tube B connector on the output line at the
Pump Module.
To route the overflow gravity-drain tubing:
1
Cut tube B to the measured length from the reservoir drain port to a
waste bottle.
Vertical Pipetting Station only. Cut a length of tube B for the distance
from the reservoir drain port to the Tubing Rack, and from the Tubing
Rack to the waste bottle. Attach the tubing using the quick- disconnect
fittings.
2
Attach a quick- disconnect fitting to one end of the tubing, and insert the
fitting into one of the ports on the waste bottle. Make sure the waste bottle
is vented.
3
Attach the other end of the tubing to the reservoir drain port connection.
CAUTION
Do not connect the overflow line to the empty line, or else the overflow will not
drain properly. To enable the gravity drain system to work effectively, the drain tubing must
always travel downward.
To complete the Pump Module setup:
1
Vertical Pipetting Station only. Slide the reservoir shelf back and forth to
ensure the shelf has enough tubing for unrestricted travel.
2
Turn on the Pump Module, and then turn on the liquid- handling device.
3
Start the automation software, and then configure the autofilling accessory
parameters.
IMPORTANT
When using Marprene tubing, reset the tension after you run the
Pump Module for the first 30 minutes. To reset the tension on the tubing, open
the flip- top cover of the pump head, allow the tube to settle naturally across
the rollers, and then reclamp the tube.
IMPORTANT
When the Pump Module is not in use, lift the flip- top cover on
each pump head to prevent flattening the tubing and to help maximize the
tubing life.
