This simple easily installed device provides a ready measure of flowrates from conventional or micro HPLC pumps.

Section 1.0 Assembly Instructions

1.1 See Section 3.0 packing list and ensure that all components have been received. Notify SGE immediately of any
shortages.

1.2 Refer to Fig. 1.

1.3 Identify the supporting bracket base (#1). This is supplied drilled to accommodate two 3mm (10G) screws for
mounting on a vertical or horizontal surface, immediately adjacent to the eluent exit of the detector.
Alternatively the block is also supplied with double sided adhesive tape for the same purpose.

1.4 Identify the valve and supporting arm assembly (# 2).

1.5 Identify two 5mm holes (# 4) in the supporting bracket base. These holes are to accept the supporting arm shaft
(# 5) in either the vertical or horizontal attitude. The supporting arm shaft is locked in place using the
set screw (# 6).

1.6 - # 206370 standard version.
Assemble the 1mL capacity flow tube into the threaded recess in the supporting arm and firm up finger tight.

1.6 - #206372 DeLuxe Version.
Select the appropriate flow tube from the three supplied. These are 1mL capacity, 250µL capacity and 50µL
capacity. Assemble the selected tube into the threaded recess in the supporting arm and firm up finger tight.
CAUTION DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

1.7 Loosen the set screw (# 6) and adjust the orientation of the assembly until the flow tube is vertical. Re tighten the
screw.

1.8 Connect the effluent line from the detector into the side arm (# 7) using the nut (# 8) and sealing ring (# 9)
provided.

1.9 Position a "waste" solvent receptacle directly under the drain outlet (# 10).
NB Do not restrict this outlet in any way as excess back pressure can force liquid to rise in the flow tube which is
inappropriate, except when taking a measurement.

Section 2.0 Operation

2.1 Refer again to Fig. 1 and identify the waste on-off valve (# 3). This is operated by sliding it "up" or "down".

2.2 To take a measurement move the valve into the "down" position. This closes off the waste discharge.

2.3

Time the liquid as it rises over the scale in the flow tube.

2.4

At the completion of the measurement, move the valve to the "up" position. This will open the waste discharge and
empty the flow tube.

2.5 Close the valve by moving it downwards in order to repeat the measurement.

2.6 For normal operation, leave the valve in the "up" or open position.
