Appendix C: Waters Alliance Diss. System
Appendix C: Working with a Waters Alliance
Dissolution System
The Vision G2 dissolution testers are capable of interfacing with the Waters Alliance
Dissolution System with Empower software for on-line HPLC testing. The Vision G2
dissolution testers function in a similar manner to the SR8-Plus dissolution testers
when run in this configuration.

Firmware Requirements

Vision G2 dissolution testers require firmware version 2.11 or higher in order to be
compatible with the Waters Alliance Dissolution System.

Installation and Configuration

1. Connect an RS-232 cable to Port #2 on the Waters Transfer Module.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the RS-232 port on the
Vision G2 dissolution tester which will be "Bath A".
3. If a second tester is present, connect Bath A and Bath B via a TCP/IP
connection. This can be through a network switch or connected directly.
4. Configure Bath A and Bath B with sequential IP addresses.
For example, if Bath A has an IP address 192.168.1.20, Bath B must be
192.168.1.21.
5. In the Device Setup screen of each tester, set the Sampler to Transfer
Module.

Operating the System

The system can be operated from the Alliance 2690D/2695D interface or from
Empower. For more information on operating either system in dissolution mode, refer
to the appropriate Waters documentation.
To use Digital Temperature Probes (DTPs), adjust magazine travel, or set a vessel
goal temperature, a protocol named WTM must be added to the dissolution tester.
When starting a test, the transfer module will use the DTP settings, vessel goal
temperature, and magazine travel from the WTM protocol.
NOTE: Vessel temperatures will not be recorded by Empower.
To have the tester use a specific magazine travel for tests using the Transfer Module,
do the following:
1. Add a new protocol.
2. Set the protocol name to WTM. The WTM must be in all capital letters.
3. Touch the Sampling tab.
