5 Putting into operation
This chapter describes the installation of the Pump Combination and gives instructions on initial start-
up.
NOTE
Inspect the instrument for damages during unpacking. If necessary, prepare a status report imme-
diately to inform the postal company, railway company or transport company. Keep the original
packaging for future transport.
5 .1 Installation site
Place the instrument on a stable, horizontal surface and consider the maximum product dimensions.
To avoid annoyance caused by bad smells or possible damage to health caused by volatile solutions,
we recommend setting up the Fraction Collector C-660 with an exhaust system. It should thereby be
ascertained that the instrument is not exposed to aggressive substances such as acids, bases and
solvents, which can have a negative influence on the useful life.
WARNING
The pump systems are not explosion proof. Potential explosion risk.
• Never position potential ignition sources near the pump modules.
• Use the pumps in a fume hood or ensure a good ventilation.
5 .2 Electrical connections
ATTENTION
Make sure that the voltage on the socket corresponds to the voltage given on the type plate of the
instrument.
Ensure that the instrument is earthed. External connections and extension cables must be provided
with an earthed conductor lead (3-pole couplings, cable or plug equipment) as the mains lead has a
molded plug to avoid risks due to inadvertent defective wiring.
Make sure that no electric sparks form in the instrument or its surroundings as they might damage
the instrument.
An electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument and lead to fire.
NOTE
To cut the power in case of an emergency by unplugging, the instrument or any other item must not
block the mains plug! In this case, the plug must be able to be pulled out instantly.
