Insert the new MSM-HC rotor A (47-3) in the MSM-HC housing
(47-4)
in such a way that the tubing connections on the rear of
MSM-HC rotor A fit into the corresponding recesses inside the
MSM-HC housing and one of the three holes of MSM-HC rotor A
is visible from below in the slot (47-5) of the MSM-HC housing.

If the MSM-HC rotor A (47-3) is correctly inserted, its sealing sur-
face will be approx. 4 mm within the MSM-HC housing (47-4). If
this is not the case, the MSM-HC rotor A must be moved into the
right position from below using a sharp object (e.g. screwdriver).

5 Cleaning the MSM-HC connecting piece

Clean the sealing surface of the MSM-HC connecting piece (47-2)
with ethanol using a lint-free cloth.

6 Inserting the new MSM-HC connecting piece

Insert the MSM-HC conencting piece (47-2) into the MSM-HC
housing (47-4) in such a way that the connector 1 is on top and
the three pins of the connecting piece fit into the corresponding
recesses on the MSM-HC housing (47-4).

Reattach the union nut (47-1) onto the coupling and tighten.

7 Connecting and conditioning the MSM-HC

Reconnect the MSM-HC to the IC system.

Before switching the MSM-HC over for the first time, rinse the
three suppressor units with solution for 5 minutes.

Peristaltic pump

4.12.1

Operation

The pumping capacity of the peristaltic pump depends on the drive speed
(set via software), the contact pressure and, above all, the internal diame-
ter of the pump tubing. Depending on the application, different pump
tubings are used.

Caution

The service life of the pump tubings also depends on the contact pres-
sure. Therefore fully lift the tubing cartridges by loosening the snap-
action lever (29-10) on the right-hand side if the peristaltic pump is to
be turned off for a longer period. Once set, the contact pressure
remains unaffected.
