Connecting the HPLC Pump K–1001 to Other Instruments
Hydraulic Connections
Make sure that all hydraulic connections are suited for the system
pressure and flow rate of your HPLC System.
You can connect either a single solvent line or a low pressure mixing block to
your instrument.
Single Connection
Solvent tubing is connected to the pump head according to part A of Fig. 19.
Make sure that the flat side of the ferrule is directed to the pump head. Make
sure that the fitting screw is fastened hand tight.
The bushing inlet (item {3.5} in Fig. 3 on page 9) is to connect with the solvent
reservoir. For this purpose follow the SOP 19 and compare part A of Fig. 19.
SOP 19
Connection of eluent tubings
1. Insert the teflon tube into the fitting screw and the ferrule. Make sure, that
the ferrule is in the correct orientation - the flat side to the tube end, to the
pump head.
2. Push the tube end as far as it will go into the pump head inlet.
3. Tighten the ferrule with the fitting screw by hand.

Low Pressure Mixing Inlet
The low pressure mixing inlet is connected to the pump head according to part
B of Fig. 19. Carefully tighten the fitting screw manually. The connecting holes
should be directed outwards to allow easy tube connections.
Connect the four inlets with the corresponding solvent outlets A to D of the
Solvent Organizer K-1500, see „Solvent outlet sites A to D“, Pos. {6.4} in Fig. 21
on page 27. Close unused inlets with a blind fitting.
