Inserting the Module

Do not try to force the module into position as this may affect the alignment of the component parts. You should proceed carefully as follows.

1)Tilt the top of the module inwards and carefully insert the upper part of the module into the front aperture. When the syringe drive motor is inside the aperture, tilt the module into the upright position.

2)Push the module into the aperture, making sure that none of the cables become trapped between the module and the edges of aperture. The module rests on a rubber strip that dampens vibrations and helps ensure the module is fitted correctly.

3)Secure the module in place at the top using the two screws (provided).

4)Replace the cover by pulling the sides outwards slightly and lowering the it over the 402. Insert and tighten the four screws at the base of the 402 that secure the cover to the lower chassis. Do not forget to reinstall the washers, which are designed to ensure that the cover and chassis are con- nected electrically.

5)Install the Tee-junction on the front of the module using the two screws provided.

6)Install the syringe as described page 3-9.

7)Connect the hydraulic tubing according to pages 3-4 and 3-5.

8)Reconnect the power cord and switch the instrument ON.
