Considerations specific to the 1500-Series HPLC pumps and
column heater
Radiation hazard
The equipment does not emit any type of hazardous radiation. It emits a
minimum amount of electromagnetic radiation that is within the limits of
applicable emissions standards (EN61326).
Protective grounding
The pump and column heater requires protective grounding for operation. The
three-conductor electrical cord that supplies power also grounds the device.
This power cord is approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (UL
or ETL). It must comprise three, 18-gauge, insulated conductors and be rated
for 300 V.
Back siphoning and draining
Check valves in the fluid pump, installed ahead of the column heater, prevent
the back-siphoning of fluids.
Drainage systems are installed in this equipment. Drip trays inside the pump
and column heater units catch any fluid from leaks or spills. These trays are
connected to external drains on the bottom of the units. Tubing connected to
this drain routes the fluid into an appropriate waste container.
Hazardous waste
During standard operation, this device does not produce any byproducts or
waste. Any waste resulting from a leak or spill is channeled into the drain
located on the underside of the device. Tubing connected to this drain directs
the flow to an appropriate waste container.
Equipment repair or disposal
Direct questions regarding repair or disposal to Waters. Waters carries out
equipment disposal in Europe according to the WEEE directive specific to the
