Revision A, Jan 2, 2020
Overview
The ACCQPrep replacement pump assembly contains
a pump sled assembled for a HP150 instrument, parts
to convert the pump assembly to be used on a HP125
instrument, and parts to convert the old Valco pump
bulkhead brackets and fittings to Swagelok on older
HP125 instruments. If the replacement pump assembly
is being installed on an HP150 configured ACCQPrep,
then no conversion work needs to be completed before
installing the replacement pump assembly.

2. Gently slide the replacement pump assembly into the
instrument. Make sure not to damage any tubing or
wiring surrounding the pump assembly as it is being
slid into place. (Figure 5/6
Note
The two slots on the backside of a pump assembly align
with two stand-offs in the instrument opening near the
rear fans. If the pump assembly is correctly installed,
then the holes for the two front securing screws will be
lined up. If these holes are not aligned, then the pump
assembly rear slots are most likely not aligned with the
rear stand-offs.
3. Using the 3/16” Allen wrench attached to the front of the
pump assembly, install the two front screws to secure the
pump assembly to the instrument (Figure 4)
4. Connect the signal and power cables to the pump
assembly. (Figure 3)
5. Connect the output of pumps A & B to the lower
bulkhead connection points (Figure 2). After finger
tightening the Swagelok fittings, use a 5/16” open end
wrench to tighten down each fitting a 1/8 – 1/4 a turn
to fully seat these connections.
6. Connect the solvent inlet tube at Y-connector below
each set of pumps (Figure 1).
7. Connect the power cable at the back of the instrument
and/or at the wall outlet to provide power to the
instrument.
8. Power on the instrument by toggling the red power
switch on the front of the instrument.

the Service menu to save all changes and reboot to the
main screen
12. Install all solvent supply lines into the solvent
containers.
13. Turn the prime knob on the front of the instrument to
the “Prime” position and press the OK button in the
pop-up window to prime the pumps with solvent. Turn
prime knob back to the “Run” position when automated
prime is complete. Repeat this step if the solvent inlet
tubing is not filled with solvent (air bubbles)
14. Install a column on the instrument. Install restrictive
capillary tubing in place of a column if one is not
available.
15. In Tools > Manual Control begin running solvent
through the instrument. When the pressure stabilizes,
begin increasing the flow rate to increase pressure
within the instrument. At each incremental change
in flowrate/pressure, check all stainless-steel tubing
connections on the pump assembly and bulkhead
bracket. If you performed the Installation of Swagelok
Bulkhead section, then perform the same leak check
on the prime valve fittings.
Note
If there is any solvent leaking from a fitting, tighten the
fitting further and continue the leak check up to the
maximum pressure rated for the installed column or
maximum pressure set in the configuration menu.
16. Install the lower front cover of the instrument and
install the left side panel if it was also removed
