Power Cords
Different power cords are offered as options with the sampling system
components. The female end of the power cords is identical. It plugs into the
power-input socket at the rear of the different peristaltic pumps and the
valve-pump controller. The male end of each power cord is different and
designed to match the wall socket of a particular country or region.
Bench Space
The sampling system is attached to a dissolution tester and the 8453
spectrophotometer. Agilent recommends a linear arrangement on a lab bench
of the dissolution tester, the sampling devices, the 8453 spectrophotometer
and the PC.
For the optimum arrangement the tubing connecting the vessel probe or valve
outlet to the flow cell inlet should be as short as possible. In case of a single
bath system, the 8453 should be adjacent to the dissolution tester. In a
multibath environment, the 8453 should be in the center of the arrangement.
The sampling devices applied should be visible to facilitate a check for proper
operation.
The absence of ground connection and the use of an unspecified power cord can
lead to electric shock or short circuit.
Electric Shock
• Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground
connection.
• Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord
designed for your region.
Use of non Agilent cables
The use of cables which haven't been supplied by Agilent Technologies can lead to
damage of the electronic components or personal injury.
• Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to
ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
