Bio-Rad BioLogic LP System - Manual (Page 26)

c. Insert the two short rods into the remaining holes.
d. Mount the 2-piece column clamping arrangement across the two long rods using the attached
thumbscrews.
e. The horizontal bar may be positioned between the upright bars using the rod clamps (tightened by
the Allen wrench) supplied with the system.
f. Place the rack into the four corner holes of the BioLogic LP Controller. Since the back of the
BioLogic LP Controller is facing you, you will want the back of the rack (the side with the two long
rods) also facing you.
If a hole is covered by a green cap, remove the cap.
3. Proportioning valve/Mixer module.
a. Attach the Proportioning valve/Mixer module to a suitable position on the vertical bar using the mod-
ule’s rod clamp.
b. Connect the signal cable from the Proportioning valve/Mixer module to the port marked “Gradient
Mixer” on the rear of the BioLogic LP Controller.
4. Buffer Select valve.
a. If you will be using the SV-5 Buffer Select valve, attach the valve to a suitable position on the hori-
zontal bar using the valve’s rod clamp.
b. Connect the signal cable from the Buffer Select valve to the port marked “Buffer Selector” on the
rear of the BioLogic LP Controller.
5. UV Optics Module and Conductivity Flow Cell.
a. Attach the UV Optics Module to a suitable position on the horizontal bar using a rod clamp to hold
one of the module’s two foot-posts.
b. Connect the power cable (square connector) from the UV Optics Module lamp into the port marked
“UV Lamp” on the rear of the BioLogic LP Controller.
c. Connect the UV Optics Module’s signal cable (mini-DIN connector) to the port marked “UV Optics”
on the rear of the BioLogic LP Controller.
d. Connect the Conductivity Flow Cell’s combined power and signal cable (mini-DIN connector) to the
port marked “Cond. Flowcell” on the rear of the BioLogic LP Controller.
e. Attach the Conductivity Flow Cell’s holder to a suitable position on the horizontal bar using the hold-
er’s rod clamp.
f. The Conductivity Flow Cell is designed to be held in its holder, but may be placed anywhere in the
fluid path as desired by the user.
