Agilent 8453 Dissolution Testing System Installing and Operating Manual 45
Setting Up 2
Installing a Valve-based Sampling System
1 Insert the connector of power cord into line power socket of the valve-pump
controller.
2 Connect the valve-pump controller to the spectrophotometer using the
GPIO-to-controller cable (part number G1103-61610, 1 m). Insert the 25-pin
connector of the GPIO-to-controller cable into the remote connector on the
valve-pump controller. Connect the 15-pin connector to the GPIO connector
of the Agilent 8453 spectrophotometer.
3 Connect the valve unit to the valve-pump controller using the
controller-to-valve cable (part number 5062-2407, 2.3 m). Insert the 15 pin
connector of the controller-to-valve cable into the valve connector in the
valve-pump controller. Insert the 15 pin connector of the controller-to-valve
cable into the valve-pump controller connector in the valve unit.
4 Use the controller-to-pump cable (part number G1103-61612, 1 m) to
connect the pump to the valve-pump controller. Insert the 9-pin connector
of the controller-to-pump cable into the pump connector in the valve-pump
controller. Insert the 15-pin connector into the remote connector in the
pump.
More detailed information on using the valve-pump controller and eight-port
valve can be found in Chapter 4, “Using the Valve Unit and Valve-pump
Controller”.
You set up your dissolution vessels with the probes, see “Dissolution Bath” on
page 26.
Use the same channel number on the valve-pump controller for the valve unit and pump you
connect.
