Introduction to the Thermostat
Introduction to the Thermostat
The Agilent 1290 Infinity Thermostat is designed for use with other
modules of the Agilent 1200 Infinity Series or with other LC systems if
adequate remote control inputs and outputs are available. The thermostat
is controlled from the Agilent 1200 Infinity Series Instant Pilot or from
your Agilent control software for LC systems.
The specially- designed thermostattable sample trays holds either
100 × 1.8 mL vials or two wellplates and 10 × 1.8 mL vials.
The thermostat contains Peltier- controlled heat exchangers. A fan draws
air from the area above the sample vial tray of the autosampler and then
blows it through the fins of the cooling/heating module. There it is cooled
or heated according to the temperature setting. The thermostatted air
enters the autosampler through a recess underneath the specially- designed
sample tray. The air is then distributed evenly through the sample tray
ensuring effective temperature control, regardless of how many vials are in
the tray.
In cooling mode condensation is generated on the cooled side of the
Peltier elements. This condensed water is safely guided into the leak
system.

Introduction 1
Thermostat Operation
The thermostat is equipped with a cooling/heating module which uses
Peltier elements for efficient air cooling. When turned on the front side of
the Peltier elements is heated/cooled according to the temperature setting.
A fan draws air from the sample tray area and blows it through the
channels of the heating/cooling module. The fan speed is determined
according to the environmental conditions (e.g., ambient temperature,
humidity). In the heating/cooling module the air reaches the temperature
of the Peltier elements and this thermostatted air is blown underneath the
special sample tray where it is evenly distributed and streams back into
the sample tray area. From there it is again drawn into the thermostat.
This “recycle” mode assures a very efficient cooling/heating of the sample
vials.
In cooling mode the opposite side of the Peltier element will become very
hot and to maintain the performance of the elements they have to be
cooled down. This is done with large heat exchangers in the back of the
thermostat. Four fans blow air from left to right through the instrument to
remove the heated air. The fan speed is controlled according to the
temperature of the Peltier elements.
During cooling condensation will appear in the heating/cooling module.
The condensed water will be guided out of the thermostat.

2Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Site Requirements
A suitable site environment is important to ensure optimum performance
of the instrument.
Power Consideration
The autosamplers comprises two modules, the autosampler module
(G1329A/B, G1367A- D, G1367E, G1377A, G2260A, G4226A, G5667A,
G4303A) or fraction collector (G1364A- C, G1364D, G5664A) and the
thermostat module (G1330B). Both modules have a separate power supply
and a power plug for the line connections. The two modules are connected
by a control cable and both are turned on by the autosampler or fraction
collector.
The autosampler or fraction collector power supplies have automatic
voltage selectors. Consequently there are no voltage selectors in the rear
of the two autosampler or fraction collector modules. The autosampler or
fraction collector has no externally accessible fuses, because automatic
electronic fuses are implemented in its power supply. The thermostat
power supply has two externally accessible fuses.
WARNING
Hazard of electrical shock or damage of your instrumentation
can result, if the devices are connected to a line voltage higher than specified.
➔Connect your instrument to the specified line voltage only.
CAUTION
Inaccessible power plug.
In case of emergency it must be possible to disconnect the instrument from the power
line at any time.
➔Make sure the power connector of the instrument can be easily reached and
unplugged.
➔Provide sufficient space behind the power socket of the instrument to unplug the
cable.

Site Requirements
Power Cords
Different power cords are offered as options with the module. The female
end of all power cords is identical. It plugs into the power- input socket at
the rear. The male end of each power cord is different and designed to
match the wall socket of a particular country or region.
WARNING
Absence of ground connection or use of unspecified power cord
The absence of ground connection or the use of unspecified power cord can lead to
electric shock or short circuit.
➔Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground
connection.
➔Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord designed
for your region.
WARNING
Use of unsupplied cables
Using cables not supplied by Agilent Technologies can lead to damage of the
electronic components or personal injury.
➔Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure
proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
WARNING
Unintended use of supplied power cords
Using power cords for unintended purposes can lead to personal injury or damage of
electronic equipment.
➔Never use the power cords that Agilent Technologies supplies with this instrument
for any other equipment.

2Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Bench Space
The module dimensions and weight (see Table 1 on page 15) allow you to
place the module on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs an
additional 25 cm (10 inches) of space on either side and approximately
8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for air circulation and electric connections.
If the bench shall carry a complete HPLC system, make sure that the
bench is designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your modules will work at ambient temperatures and relative humidity as
described in Table 1 on page 15.
CAUTION
Condensation within the module
Condensation will damage the system electronics.
➔Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature
fluctuations could cause condensation within the module.
➔If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm
slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.

Optimizing the Stack Configuration
Optimizing the Stack Configuration
If your autosampler/fraction collector is part of a system, you can ensure
optimum performance by installing the autosampler/fraction collector in
the stack in the position shown in Figure 3 on page 19 and Figure 4 on
page 20. This configuration optimizes the system flow path, ensuring
minimum delay volume. As the autosampler thermostat is very heavy, it
should always be installed at the bottom of a stack.
