Pressure transducer cable connector port (2) – Connects the pressure transducers, which
convert solvent pressure into electrical signals for monitoring.
Accumulator pump – Receives solvent from the primary pump and delivers it to the vent
valve.
Location of the sample manager's purge-solvent degasser – Degasses the sample
manager's purge solvent.
Note:
Vacuum degassing can change the composition of mixed solvents.
Vent valve – Automatically switches to waste during priming and to a block position during
the leak test.
100-µL mixer/filter – Mixes and filters the solvent before it reaches the pump outlet.
Seal wash pump – Circulates solvent, to keep the actuator’s high-pressure seals and
plungers free of contaminants.
Location of degasser vent tube – Vents exhaust from the degasser pump.
Seal-wash waste fitting – Connects the tubing that directs seal-wash waste to the drip tray.
Drain fitting (to waste) – Connects the tubing that directs waste liquid to the waste
container.
Solvent vent tubing – Vents solvent to waste during priming.
Location of leak sensor – The leak sensor continuously monitors the solvent manager for
leaks and stops the system flow when its optical sensor detects approximately 1.5 mL of
accumulated, leaked liquid in its surrounding reservoir.
Location of optional solvent selection valve – The solvent selection valve enables you to
select as many as six solvents for isocratic and gradient applications. The valve is plumbed
to solvent channel D, enabling solvent selections D
1
through D
6
.
Leak sensor cable connector port – Connects the leak sensor, which continuously monitors
the solvent manager for leaks.
Gradient proportioning valve – Blends solvents to create accurate gradients, regardless of
solvent compressibility and system back pressure. The system includes two gradient
proportioning valves, one for solvent channels A and B, and one for solvent channels C and
D.
Low pressure inlet filters (A, B, C, and D) – Removes particulates from the incoming
solvent.
