4 Description of function
This chapter explains the basic principle of the Pump Systems and provides a functional description of
the assemblies.
The design of the pump systems enables the delivery of organic as well as aqueous media without
metal contact through a pulsation-poor, 3-piston pump. The modular design of the pump systems
offers various combination options:
Pump system 1:
Pump Controller C-610 and 1 Pump Module C-601
Pump system 2:
Pump Manager C-615 and 1 Pump Module C-601 or C-605
Pump system 3:
Pump Manager C-615 and 2 Pump Modules C-601 or C-605
Pump system 4:
Control Unit C-620 and 2-4 Pump Modules C-601 or C-605
4.1 Functional principle
Pump Controller C-610:
Control unit for isocratic separations with one Pump Module C-601.
Communication with an optional Fraction Collector
C-660.
Simple entry via dial and display of delivery amount on a backlit LCD display.
Pump Manager C-615:
Control unit for one or two pump modules (C-601/605).
Communication with an optional Fraction Collector C-660.
Pressure monitoring.
Control of two optional valves for solvent selection.
Optional level monitoring.
Control Unit C-620:
Control Unit in combination with the software SepacoreControl is able to control your chromatography
system.
Pump Module C-601:
Compact, pulsation-poor, 3-piston pump to a max. of
10 bar, chemically inert and biocompatible.
Pump Module C-605:
Compact, pulsation-poor, 3-piston pump to a max. of
50 bar, chemically inert and biocompatible.

4 Description of function
16 Pump Combinations Operation Manual, Version E
The use of two pump modules A and B enables
the formation of a binary gradient. The solvents
enter the pump heads via the suction tubing
(input). The FEP tubing guide the solvents to the
mixing chamber with integrated pressure sensor
and from there via the injection system on to the
column via the pressure tubing (output).
The Pump Manager C-615 regulates the flow
rate of the pump modules A and B and monitors
the current pressure. The maximum pressure
for Pump Module C-601 is 10 bar and for Pump
Module C-605 50 bar. In addition, a variety of
programs and settings enables to select the flow
rate of the solvent, the pressure, time and gradi-
ent of the solvents.
Fig. 4.1: Example of System 3
4.2 Operative range of the pump systems
The Pump Module C-601 pumps 2.5 to 250 ml/min of solvent at a maximum pressure of 10 bar. The
Pump Module C-605 pumps 2.5 to 250 ml/min of solvent at a maximum of 50 bar.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the Pump Module C-605 to the Pump Controller C-610, otherwise an error message
appears on the display.
If a Pump Manager C-615 or a Control Unit C-620 is used make sure that the same Pump Modules
C-601 or C-605 are used.

This chapter describes the installation of the Pump Combination and gives instructions on initial start-
up.
NOTE
Inspect the instrument for damages during unpacking. If necessary, prepare a status report imme-
diately to inform the postal company, railway company or transport company. Keep the original
packaging for future transport.
5.1 Installation site
Place the instrument on a stable, horizontal surface and consider the maximum product dimensions.
To avoid annoyance caused by bad smells or possible damage to health caused by volatile solutions,
we recommend setting up the Fraction Collector C-660 with an exhaust system. It should thereby be
ascertained that the instrument is not exposed to aggressive substances such as acids, bases and
solvents, which can have a negative influence on the useful life.
WARNING
The pump systems are not explosion proof. Potential explosion risk.
• Never position potential ignition sources near the pump modules.
• Use the pumps in a fume hood or ensure a good ventilation.
5.2 Electrical connections
ATTENTION
Make sure that the voltage on the socket corresponds to the voltage given on the type plate of the
instrument.
Ensure that the instrument is earthed. External connections and extension cables must be provided
with an earthed conductor lead (3-pole couplings, cable or plug equipment) as the mains lead has a
molded plug to avoid risks due to inadvertent defective wiring.
Make sure that no electric sparks form in the instrument or its surroundings as they might damage
the instrument.
An electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument and lead to fire.
NOTE
To cut the power in case of an emergency by unplugging, the instrument or any other item must not
block the mains plug! In this case, the plug must be able to be pulled out instantly.

5.3 Installation
In order to make things clearer, the following descriptions do not contain the complete names of the
modular pump systems, but rather the general name.
Pump Controller C-610: Pump controller
Pump Manager C-615: Pump manager
Pump Module C-601/605: Pump module
Mixer (pressure sensor with integrated mixing chamber): Pressure sensor
Control Unit C-620: Control unit
5.3.1 Installating the standard accessories
Suction tubing 4 mm x 2.5 mm, length 1.5 m
ATTENTION
The pump module may never be operated without the suction filter, since otherwise impurities may
enter the pump system.

Cut the suction tubing ato the desired length and
fasten it to the suction filter. Place the fitting band
the ferrule con the other end of the suction tubing
a. Attach the fitting b and the ferrule c.
Press the suction tubing aand the ferrule cagainst
a table surface to firmly seal the tubing end with
the ferrule.

Remove the protective foil from the input and output
of the pump head. Screw the white fitting b into the
lower input dof the separator head. Make sure that
all fittings are hand-tight. The end of the tubing a
with the solvent filter goes into the solvent vessel.

Place the pump module on a level surface. Make
sure the address bus is set to A b. If not, take the
screwdriver and turn the small white dot to A. Con-
nect the power cord a.

A holding angle is located in the center at the back
of the pump controller a. Remove it.
There is a rail located at the bottom of the pump
controller a. Slide it from the front to the end of the
stop bon the pump module c.
Attach the holding angle.

The overpressure sensor switches off the pump if the pressure exceeds 10 bar. This maximum pres-
sure of 10 bar cannot be changed. The installation of the overpressure sensor is easy to do and
explained in the following:
Overpressure sensor
Clip the overpressure sensor onto the Pump Module
C-601.
Connect the overpressure sensor to the correspon-
ding connector TTL IN/OUT at the back of the Pump
Controller C-610.
