Pump Module User Guide
To connect tube A to a reservoir or wash station on a platepad or Weigh Station:
1
Fill (input)
. Cut three lengths of tube A. Two lengths of tubing are for the
measured distance from the reservoir input ports (
1
) to a 3- way connector
(
2
). The third length of tubing is for the distance between the 3- way
connector and either a quick- disconnect fitting (
3
) or tubing connector (not
shown). Connect the tubing.
2
Empty (output)
. Cut three lengths of tube A. Two lengths of tubing are for
the measured distance from the reservoir output ports (
4
) to a 3- way
connector (
2
). The third length of tubing is for the distance between the 3-
way connector and either a quick disconnect fitting or tubing connector.
Connect the tubing.
Note:
If the reservoir has one output port, cut one length of tube A for
the output tubing.

Example tubing configuration for a Tip Wash Station: (
1
) input ports, (
2
) 3-way
connectors, (
3
) quick-disconnect fittings, and (
4
) output ports
Note:
The liquid enters the Tip Wash Station through the two lower input
ports and flows up through the chimneys. The overflow of the chimneys
flows out through the two upper output ports.
Connecting tube A to a reservoir installed on the Vertical Pipetting Station
Refer to the following figure to route the tubing from the reservoir to the
Tubing Rack (
1
).
To connect tube A to a reservoir installed on a shelf:
1
Fill (input).
Cut three lengths of tube A. Two lengths of tubing are for the
measured distance from the reservoir input ports (
2
) to the 3- way
connector (
3
), The third length of tubing is for the distance between the 3-
way connector and a quick- disconnect fitting (
4
) on the Tubing Rack.
Connect the tubing as the figure shows.
2
Empty (output)
. If the reservoir has two output ports (
5
), cut three lengths
of tube A. Two lengths of tubing are for the measured distance from the
reservoir output ports (
5
) to the 3- way connector (
3
). The third length of
tubing is for the distance between the 3- way connector and a quick-
disconnect fitting (
4
) on the Tubing Rack.
Note:
If the reservoir has one output port, cut one length of tube A.
