Installing the Pump

Site Requirements

Bench Space

The quaternary pump dimensions and weight (see Table 1 on page 16) allow to place the quaternary pump on almost any laboratory bench. It needs an additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for the circulation of air and electric connections.

If the bench should carry a complete Agilent 1100 Series system, make sure that the bench is designed to carry the weight of all the modules.

The pump should be operated in a horizontal position!

Environment

Your quaternary pump will work within specifications at ambient temperatures and relative humidity as described in Table 1 on page 16.

Do not store, ship or use your quaternary pump under conditions where temperature fluctuations could cause condensation within the quaternary pump. Condensation will damage the system electronics. If your quaternary pump was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.
