2.1 Setting up the 709 IC Pump
2.1.1 Packaging
The 709 IC Pump is supplied together with the separately packed
accessories in special packagings containing shock-absorbing foam
linings designed to provide excellent protection. The actual instrument
is packed in an evacuated polyethylene bag to prevent the ingress of
dust. Please store all these special packagings as only they assure
transport of the instruments free from damage.
2.1.2 Check
After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of
accessories in section 6.2). In the case of transport damage, see
instructions in section 6.4.1 "Warranty".
2.1.3 Location
Position the 709 IC Pump in the laboratory at a location convenient for
operation, free from vibrations and protected against a corrosive at-
mosphere and contamination by chemicals.
To avoid disturbing temperature influences on the insulated column
compartment, the pump and eluent reservoir must be protected
against direct sunlight.
2.1.4 Arrangement of the instruments
In one-channel operation, the 709 IC Pump, 733 IC Separation Center
and 732 IC Detector are best stacked on top of one another in this or-
der.
In two-channel operation (733.0X20 IC Separation Center), the optimum
arrangement (1, 2 or 3 towers) depends on the laboratory space avail-
able. However, the 709 IC Pumps should be set up at the very bottom
and the 732 IC Detectors at the very top.
