2.1 Setting up the instrument
2.1.1 Packaging
The 818 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 6.5.1 "Warranty".
2.1.3 Location
Position the 818 IC Pump in the laboratory at a location convenient for
operation, free from vibrations and protected against a corrosive
atmosphere 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
The 818 IC Pump should always be at the very bottom of a IC system.
The 818 IC Pump should always be placed at the bottom of the
instrument stack so that any leaks which may occur in the pump
tubing or connections cannot cause damage to the other instruments
by leakage liquids.
