    Waters data control system. Intended use of the Pump Control Module II Waters designed the Pump Control Module II to provide programmable control through a Waters data system of up to three, 500-series high-pressure pumps. Calibrating To calibrate LC systems, follow acceptable calibration methods using at least five standards to generate a standard curve.

  • Page 6: Quality-Control

    To calibrate mass spectrometers, consult the calibration section for the operator’s guide of the instrument you are calibrating. Quality-control Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and above-normal levels of a compound. Ensure that QC sample results fall within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision from day to day and run to run.

  • Page 18: Ethernet Signal Cable Connections

    The module is equipped with a RJ-45 connector for Ethernet port communications (see the figure, above). The Ethernet port—a 10/100 Base-T networking interface—is used only for remote control, the case when Empower 2 controls its operation, and for firmware upgrades via the Waters Autoloader utility. Appendix C lists the supplied Ethernet cable.

  • Page 19: Ieee-488 Signal Cable Connections

    Appendix C lists the IEEE-488 cables. Requirements: • In an IEEE-488 configuration, all of the Waters HPLC system components, including the module, must communicate with the data system via IEEE-488 communications. • When using an autoinjector, triggering of the inject-start signal occurs over the IEEE-488 cable, so no external I/O cable is needed.
