Installing a Multicell-transport-based Sampling System
4 You connect the multichannel pump to the Agilent 8453 spectrophotometer
with the multichannel pump–remote cable (part number G1103-61607).
5 Push connector of the peristaltic pump–remote cable (part number
G1103-61607) into the remote control connector on the rear of the pump.
When this cable is connected, the control switch on the front panel does not
function. This prevents you using the pump manually during automatic
operation.
6 Set the flow control to 40 for a flow rate of about 6.5 ml/min.
Stage 2: Installing the Pump Tubing
The pump tubing for the pump is 2.06 mm i.d. The pump includes one pack of
pump tubing, 12 pieces per pack (part number 5041-2166). There are three
fixing-collars on each piece of pump tubing. This allows you to use the pump
tubing in two positions.
1 Put the pump tubing in the tubing-cassette, locating the fixing-collars on
each side of the cassette in the locating holes. Make sure that the
fixing-collars are pointing upwards and the tubing cannot slide out of the
cassette.
2 Repeat for each of the cassettes.
