Valve Pump Controller
The valve pump controller is used with all dissolution sampling systems based
on stream selecting valves. The sampling systems are referred as valve
sampling systems if a single dissolution tester is combined with the
spectrophotometer or a multibath sampling system if more than one
dissolution tester is hooked to the instrument.
A maximum of four valve units and four peristaltic pumps 1VS can be
controlled by the valve pump controller.
Connect the valve pump controller to the 8453 spectrophotometer only by the
GPIO-to-controller cable (PN G1103-61610) provided by Agilent.
