Malvern Mastersizer 3000 Manual

Hardware features
59
1. Power cable from external PSU
2. CAN cable
3. Computer connection (USB)
4. Sample pipes to and from cell
5. Heater/chiller connections (optional)
6. Dispersant input: aqueous
7. Dispersant input: non-aqueous
8. Drain pipe to waste
To allow liquid to drain efficiently the drain/waste must:
l Be within 2 m of the dispersion unit
l Be lower than the bench surface
l Slope gently downwards
l Contain no loops or kinks.
Note: Discharge to a normal sink is sufficient, provided the sample and dis-
persant are non-hazardous.
Note: If connecting an external dispersant pump to the Hydro LV or MV units,
refer to External dispersant pump in the Hydro series wet dispersion units
