General safety information
Before installing and using the Pump Module
Before installing and using the Pump Module, make sure you are aware of the
potential hazards and understand how to avoid being exposed to them. You
must be properly trained in the correct and safe installation and operation of
the device.
Intended product use
Agilent Technologies products must only be used in the manner described in

Safety and regulatory compliance
Compliance standards
The Pump Module complies with the applicable EU Directives and bears the
CE mark. See the Declaration of Conformity or Declaration of Incorporation, as
applicable, for details. The Pump Module is designed to comply with the
regulations and standards listed in the following table.
Electromagnetic compatibility
If the Pump Module causes interference with radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the device off and on, try one or more of
the following measures:
•Relocate the radio or television antenna.
•Move the device away from the radio or television.
•Plug the device into a different electrical outlet, so that the device and the
radio or television are on separate electrical circuits.
•Make sure that all peripheral devices are also certified.
•Make sure that appropriate cables are used to connect the device to
peripheral equipment.
•Consult your equipment dealer, Agilent Technologies, or an experienced
technician for assistance.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Agilent Technologies could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

South Korean Class A EMC declaration
This equipment is Class A suitable for professional use and is for use in
electromagnetic environments outside of the home.
Laboratory setup requirements
Placement considerations
The Pump Module must be located near a power source to connect the power
cord, and near the controlling liquid- handling device to connect the
communication cable. If applicable, the Pump Module must be positioned to
enable connecting the cable from the Agilent Weigh Station, Weigh Pad, or
Weigh Shelf.
IMPORTANT Make sure the Pump Module is located away from heat and air
conditioning ducts and away from direct sunlight, as these conditions could
interfere with the Pump Module performance.

Pump Module overview and components
Overview
The Pump Module contains two peristaltic pumps, one that pumps the fresh
source fluid into a reservoir, and a second one that pumps the waste fluid
from the reservoir. Optionally, you can use the Pump Module with an Agilent
Weigh Station, Weigh Shelf, or Weigh Pad to provide precise liquid- level control
for an autofilling reservoir or wash station.
