1.3 UNPACKING
When you receive the BioLogic LP System, carefully inspect the shipping containers for any damage which
may have occurred in shipping. Severe damage to a container may indicate damage to its contents. If you
suspect damage to the contents may have occurred, immediately file a claim with the carrier in accordance
with their instructions before contacting Bio-Rad Laboratories.
Caution
Lift items from the bottom as you remove them from their containers!
Open each of the shipping cartons and lift the contents out of its packing. Check the contents of each box
against the supplied packing list. Remove the plastic bag from each unit and inspect the unit for external
damage. If any part is missing or damaged, contact Bio-Rad Laboratories immediately.
1.4 DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The following sections identify the key features of the BioLogic LP System and available options.

Description of System Components
Component Function
Controller The BioLogic LP Controller consists of the following:
• System Software. Through the software’s menu-driven interface, each instrument in the
system can be operated manually, or as part of a process as specified by the method you
create. Software controls the Peristaltic Pump, the Mixer/Proportioning valve, the Valves,
the UV/Conductivity Monitors, and peripheral instruments (such as the Model 2128 frac-
tion collector and Model 1327 Chart Recorder) .
• Peristaltic Pump. This is a two-channel, bi-directional, variable speed, peristaltic pump,
delivering flow rates from 0.05 to 40 ml/min.
• Control circuitry for the UV and Conductivity Monitors. Signal export ports for UV and
Conductivity data at 1V and chart recorder control (pen up/down, start/stop).
• Control circuitry for the system valves (low pressure solenoid and buffer select valves).
• An output power connector to the UV lamp.
