Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Bench Space
The module dimensions and weight (see Table 1 on page 29) allow you to place 
the module on almost any desk or 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 air circulation and electric connections.
If the bench shall carry a complete HPLC system, make sure that the bench is 
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position, especially if a sample 
cooler is installed. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the sampler.
Condensation
Agilent recommends that you install the HPLC instrument in the InfinityLab Flex Bench 
rack. This option helps to save bench space as all modules can be placed into one single 
stack. It also allows to easily relocate the instrument to another laboratory.
Heavy weight
The module is heavy.
➔ Carry the module at least with 2 people.
➔ Avoid back strain or injury by following all precautions for lifting heavy objects.
➔ Ensure that the load is as close to your body as possible.
➔ Ensure that you can cope with the weight of your load.
Condensation within the module
Condensation can damage the system electronics.
➔ Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature 
fluctuations could cause condensation within the module. 
➔ If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm 
slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.
