Single Pump SIPS 20 Operation
To use only one pump of the SIPS 20 unit:
1
Develop or modify a method according to the instructions for the
SIPS 10 (see the ‘Automatic Calibration from a Single Standard’
section on Pages 44–45 of this manual).
NOTE
Selecting
None
from the
Right Pump
group on the
SIPS
page when developing
a method specifies that the second pump (the right-hand pump) will not be
operating.
2
If the second pump does not have a pump tube fitted to it, you
will need to place a cap seal over the right outlet of the T-piece as
shown in Figure 4, Page 32. This is necessary to prevent air
bubbles entering the system. If the second pump does have a
pump tube in place, it may be left connected. Both presser arms
will be closed during operation, and the pressure applied will
prevent any solution leaking through the standard pump tubing.
NOTE
Single pump SIPS 20 operation cannot facilitate online standard additions, QC
spiking or the online addition of chemical modifiers.
