Introduction to the Column Compartment

Main Features
Main Features
The Agilent 1200 Series thermostatted column compartments are stackable

temperature-controlled column compartments for LC. They are available as
standalone modules or as a component of a Agilent 1200 Series system. They
are used for heating and cooling to meet extreme requirements of retention
time reproducibility.
The main features are:
Peltier heating and cooling from 10 degrees below ambient up to
80 C(G1316A) or 100 C (G1316B SL/G1316C SL Plus) with high heating
and cooling speeds for maximum application flexibility and stability,
holds up to three 30-cm columns and optimized design gives minimum dead
volumes and maximum efficiency,
two independently programmable heat exchangers contribute volumes of
only 3 and 6 l,
G1316B SL features additional heating and cooling devices for low flow
rates, which reduce the risk of additional dispersion,
G1316B SL and G1316C SL Plus can be supplemented by a kit to install a
small heat-exchanger with 1.6 l delay volume to reduce the delay volume.
In additon a cooling device with 1.5 l is available,
electronic column-identification module as standard for GLP
documentation of column type, and major column parameters,
optional high-quality Rheodyne column switching valves with ceramic
stator-face assemblies for prolonged lifetime.
For specifications, see Performance Specifications on page 28.

System Overview
System Overview
The Concept of Heating and Cooling

The design of this thermostatted column compartment uses column heating
and cooling devices with Peltier elements. The solvent entering the column
compartment is heated up or cooled down to a settable temperature with two
low-volume heat exchangers (3 l on left side, 6 l on right side), made of a
short piece of capillary 0.17 mm i.d. leading through a heat exchanger. The
heat exchanger is designed such that it can function simultaneously as an air
heater. The shape of the heat exchanger surface allows the area around the
column to be kept at a similar temperature level as the liquid running through
the column. This is done by thermal convection and radiation between the
heat exchanger fins. This design ensures that the column and the solvent
flowing through it are almost at the same temperature.
Actual temperature control is accomplished at the heat exchanger. The solvent
cools down or heats up on its transfer from the heating block to the column
inlet. This depends on several factors: flow rate, setpoint temperature,
ambient temperature and column dimensions.
In a flow-through temperature regulation system, there are necessarily slightly
different temperatures at different positions. If, for example, the temperature
set by the user is 40 C, then the heat exchanger is regulated to a temperature
40.8 C which is different by a certain offset (here. 0.8 C). The solvent
temperature at the column entry would be about 39 C.
The actual temperature displayed on the user interface is always the derived
temperature taken at the heat exchanger, corrected by the offset explained
above.
Any type of heated column compartment brings one important consequence
for column temperature equilibration. Before an equilibrium is reached, the
whole mass of column, column packing, and solvent volume inside the column
has to be brought to the selected temperature. This depends on several factors:
flow rate, setpoint temperature, ambient temperature and column dimensions.
The higher the flow rate, the faster the column equilibrates (due to
thermostatted mobile phase).
11

System Overview
Column Thermostat Temperature Calibration on page 66 shows a setpoint
temperature of 40 C. Some time after entering the setpoint the heat
exchanger has reached its temperature and the control activity starts. The
TEMPERATURE NOT READY signal will be cancelled 20 seconds after the sensed
temperature was within a range of 0.5 C of the setpoint (other values can be
set via the user interface). However this does not necessarily mean that the
column has already reached the correct temperature. The equilibration of the
column may take longer. Stability of the pressure signal is a good indication
for equilibrium.

NOTE
14
If a column switching valve (see Column Switching Valve (Optional for G1316A/G1316B
SL) on page 15) is installed in the module, the update of the number of injections depends
on the position of the column switching valve. For example, if the left column is selected,
the right column is not updated, and vice versa. If no column switching valve is installed
both sides are updated at the same time.

Two Column Selection

The valve can select either column 1 or column 2. The offline column is sealed
by connecting head to tail. Switching should be done when the flow is off and
the pressure is zero.
NOTE
Before switching the valve, switch off the pump or set the flow to zero. Keeping the flow on
while the valve is switched can cause exceeding the maximum pressure. This will stop
method or sequence execution.

Electrical Connections
The CAN bus is a serial bus with high speed data transfer. The two
connectors for the CAN bus are used for internal Agilent 1200 Series
module data transfer and synchronization.
One analog output provides signals for integrators or data handling
systems.
The REMOTE connector may be used in combination with other analytical
instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features such as
start, stop, common shut down, prepare, and so on.
With the appropriate software, the RS-232C connector may be used to
control the module from a computer through a RS-232C connection. This
connector is activated and can be configured with the configuration switch.
See your software documentation for further information.
The power input socket accepts a line voltage of 100 240 volts AC 10%
with a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is
220 VA. There is no voltage selector on your module because the power
supply has wide-ranging capability. There are no externally accessible
fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power
supply. The security lever at the power input socket prevents the module
cover from being taken off when line power is still connected.
NOTE
18
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper
functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

Instrument Layout
Instrument Layout
The industrial design of the module incorporates several innovative features.

It uses Agilents E-PAC concept for the packaging of electronics and
mechanical assemblies. This concept is based upon the use of expanded
polypropylene (EPP) layers foam plastic spacers in which the mechanical and
electronic boards components of the module are placed. This pack is then
housed in a metal inner cabinet which is enclosed by a plastic external
cabinet. The advantages of this packaging technology are:
virtual elimination of fixing screws, bolts or ties, reducing the number of
components and increasing the speed of assembly/disassembly,
the plastic layers have air channels molded into them so that cooling air can
be guided exactly to the required locations,
the plastic layers help cushion the electronic and mechanical parts from
physical shock, and
the metal inner cabinet shields the internal electronics from
electromagnetic interference and also helps to reduce or eliminate radio
frequency emissions from the instrument itself.
21

The Agilent Diagnostic Software is a standalone product that can be used with
or without data system. Agilent Lab Advisor helps to manage the lab for high
quality chromatographic results and can monitor in real time a single Agilent
LC or all the Agilent GCs and LCs configured on the lab intranet.
Agilent Lab Advisor provides diagnostic capabilities for all Agilent 1200 Series
HPLC modules. This includes tests and calibrations procedures as well as the
different injector steps to perform all the maintenance routines.
Agilent Lab Advisor also allows users to monitor the status of their LC
instruments. The Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) feature helps to carry
out preventive maintenance. In addition, users can generate a status report for
each individual LC instrument. The tests and diagnostic features as provided
by the Agilent Lab Advisor Software may differ from the descriptions in this
manual. For details refer to the Agilent Lab Advisor help files.
This manual provides lists with the names of Error Messages, Not Ready
messages, and other common issues.

A suitable environment is important to ensure optimal performance of the

instrument.
Power Consideration
The module power supply has wideranging capability (see Table 2 on page 27).
It accepts any line voltage in the range described in the above mentioned table.
Consequently there is no voltage selector in the rear of the module. There are
also no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are
implemented in the power supply.
WA R N I N G
Incorrect line voltage at the instrument

Shock hazard 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.
WA R N I N G
Module is partially energized when switched off, as long as the power cord is
plugged in.
Repair work at the module can lead to personal injuries, e.g. shock hazard, when the
cover is opened and the module is connected to power.
Remove the power cable from the instrument before opening the cover.
Do not connect the power cable to the Instrument while the covers are removed.
24

CAUTION
Unaccessable 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.
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
of the module. The male end of each power cord is different and designed to
match the wall socket of a particular country or region.
WA R N I N G
The absence of ground connection and the use of an unspecified power cord can
lead to electric shock or short circuit.
Electric Shock
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.
WA R N I N G
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.
25

Bench Space
The column compartment dimensions and weight (see Physical
Specifications on page 27 ) allow to place this module on almost any desk or
laboratory bench. It needs an additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either
side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for the circulation of air
and electric connections.
If the bench should carry a complete Agilent Series system, make sure that
the bench is designed to carry the weight of all the modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your column compartment will work within specifications at ambient
temperatures and relative humidity as described in Physical
Specifications on page 27.

Risk of stroke and other personal injury. Repair work at the module can lead to
personal injuries, e. g. shock hazard, when the module cover is opened and the
instrument is connected to power.
Never perform any adjustment, maintenance or repair of the module with the top
cover removed and with the power cord plugged in.

The security lever at the power input socket prevents that the module cover is taken
off when line power is still connected. Never plug the power line back in when cover
is removed.
CAUTION
Valve properties are read from the valve head RFID tag during initialization of the
module. Valve properties will not be updated, if the valve head is replaced while the
module is on.
Selection of valve port positions can fail, if the instrument does not know the
properties of the installed valve.
Always switch off the instrument when replacing the valve head.
38

CAUTION
The valve actuator contains sensitive optical parts, which need to be protected from
dust and other pollutions. Pollution of these parts can impair the accurate selection of
valve ports and therefore bias measurement results.
Always install a valve head for operation and storage. For protecting the actuator, a
dummy valve head (part of transportation lock kit part number: G1316-67001) can be
used instead of a functional valve. Do not touch parts inside the actuator.
If the Thermostatted Column Compartment SL Plus (G1316C SL Plus only)

includes the valve drive option, it is shipped with a transportation lock, which
needs to be removed during installation.
1 Remove the 5 screws, which hold the lock in position (G1316C SL Plus
only).
2 Remove the dummy valve head by unscrewing the cap nut and removing it
from the valve drive (G1316C SL Plus only).

53
This chapter provides information on how to optimize the Thermostatted

Column Compartement.
51
How to optimize the Column Compartment

For best performance results of the column compartment:

Use short connection capillaries and place them close to the heat
exchanger. This will reduce heat dissipation and external band-broadening.
Use the left heat exchanger for small volume columns, for example, 23 mm
i.d. columns at flow rates of less than 200 l/min.
For even lower band-broadening, the heat exchanger can be by-passed and
the column is placed well between the heat exchanger fins.
Keep the left and right heat exchanger temperature the same unless you do
specific applications.
Assure that the front cover is always closed.
52

The optimization, installation, interconnection, and specific settings when

using additional heating and cooling devices are described in the Agilent 1200
Series Rapid Resolution LC System manual (G1312-90300).

Overview of the Column Departments Indicators and

Test Functions
Status Indicators
The instrument is provided with two status indicators which indicate the
operational state (prerun, run, and error states) of the instrument. The status
indicators provide a quick visual check of the operation of the instrument.
Error Messages
In the event of an electronic, mechanical or hydraulic failure, the instrument
generates an error message in the user interface. The following pages describe
the meaning of the error messages. For each message, a short description of
the failure, a list of probable causes, and a list of suggested actions to fix the
problem are provided.
Thermostat Diagnostic Test

The thermostat diagnostic test evaluates the heating and cooling efficiency of
the two peltier elements.
Temperature Calibration and Verification

The temperature calibration and verification procedure enables the
instrument temperature to be measured against an external, calibrated
measuring device. Normally, temperature calibration is not required
throughout the lifetime of the instrument. However, in order to comply with
local regulatory requirements, calibration and verification may be required.
The following sections describe these functions in detail.
56

Status Indicators
Status Indicators
Two status indicators are located on the front of the module. The lower left
indicates the power supply status, the upper right indicates the instrument
status.

lî]\gZZca^\]i
Figure 18
Location of Status indicators
Power Supply Indicator

The power supply indicator is integrated into the main power switch. When
the indicator is illuminated (green) the power is ON.
Module Status Indicator

The module status indicator indicates one of four possible instrument
conditions:
When the status indicator is OFF (and power switch indicator is on), the
instrument is in a prerun condition, and is ready to begin an analysis.
57

Status Indicators
A green status indicator, indicates the module is performing an analysis
(run mode).
A yellow indicator indicates a not-ready condition. The module is in a
not-ready state when it is waiting for a specific condition or action to be
completed (for example, immediately after changing a setpoint), or while a
self-test procedure is running.
An error condition is indicated by a red status indicator. An error condition
indicates the module has detected an internal problem which affects
correct operation of the instrument. Usually, an error condition requires
attention (for example, leak, defective internal components). The error
state is propagated through the system to all connected modules, so the
error might come from a different module. Check the error log of your user
interface for the originating module. For safety reasons, an error condition
always interrupts the analysis.
58

NOTE
Depending on the used interface, the available tests and the screens/reports may vary.
Preferred tool should be the Agilent Lab Advisor Software, see Agilent Diagnostic
Software on page 22.
Screenshots used in this document are based on the Agilent ChemStation. In future, the
user interface may not show the Diagnostics/Tests anymore. In this case use the Agilent
Lab Monitor Diagnostic (LMD) Software.

The Agilent Diagnostic Software is a standalone product that can be used with
or without data system. Agilent Lab Advisor helps to manage the lab for high
quality chromatographic results and can monitor in real time a single Agilent
LC or all the Agilent GCs and LCs configured on the lab intranet.
Agilent Lab Advisor provides diagnostic capabilities for all Agilent 1200 Series
HPLC modules. This includes tests and calibrations procedures as well as the
different injector steps to perform all the maintenance routines.
Agilent Lab Advisor also allows users to monitor the status of their LC
instruments. The Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) feature helps to carry
out preventive maintenance. In addition, users can generate a status report for
each individual LC instrument. The tests and diagnostic features as provided
by the Agilent Lab Advisor Software may differ from the descriptions in this
manual. For details refer to the Agilent Lab Advisor help files.
This manual provides lists with the names of Error Messages, Not Ready

Heater Function Test Description

The heater function test is used to evaluate the cooling and heating
performance of the two peltier elements.
When the test is started, both heat exchangers are cooled initially to 25 C.
This temperature is held for 12 seconds, and then the setpoint is changed to
20 C. The time required to reach 20 C is a measure of the cooling efficiency
of the peltier elements. At 3.5 minutes, the setpoint is changed to 30 C, and
both elements begin heating. The time required to reach 30 C is a measure of
heating efficiency.

rates to fall outside these limits.
63
Test Functions
Function Test Failed

Probable Causes
Column compartment cover not installed correctly (bad insulation).
Air intake blocked (insufficient air flow for cooling).
Poor peltier efficiency (if setpoint temperatures can still be reached, and
are stable, there is no requirement to exchange the heater assembly).
Defective sensors on flex board.
Defective heater assembly.
Suggested Actions
Ensure cover is installed correctly.
Ensure sufficient space is available for air circulation see Bench Space on
page 26.
Exchange the heater assembly.

Test Functions
Pressure Test
Pressure Test
For running a pressure test, please refer to the corresponding pump manual.
The pressure test may be used for testing the tightness of a valve installed in
the TCC.
CAUTION
Wrong use of pressure test may damage valve.

The current implementation of the pressure test automatically uses the maximum
pressure generated by the pump used by that system.
Do not use the test for modules having a lower maximum pressure than the pump
as this will damage the valve. For example do not use 400 bar valve in a TCC in
combination with a 600 bar pump.
65
Test Functions
Temperature Calibration Principle

The actual temperatures of the column heat exchangers (left and right) depend
on the column setpoint temperature. For setpoint temperatures above (36 C),
the heat exchangers are heated to a temperature slightly above the setpoint
temperature. Conversely, for setpoint temperatures below (36 C), the heat
exchangers are kept at a temperature slightly below the setpoint temperature.
This fine temperature correction compensates for the small amount of heat
exchange through the instrument housing, and ensures the column is always
kept at the setpoint temperature.
At (36 C), the column setpoint and heat-exchanger temperatures are equal
(temperature cross-over point). This is the temperature at which a calibrated
measuring device can be used to calibrate the column thermostat.

representative for ordering information.
NOTE
The figures in this procedure refer to a specific type of temperature sensor (Heraeus,
Quat340, quartz surface-temperature measurement sensor). Other sensors may require a
different fixing.
1 Install the temperature sensor (Installing the Temperature Sensor on

page 69).
2 Select the column-compartment temperature calibration mode in the user
interface.
3 Wait for the temperature to stabilize at the calibration temperature (36 C).
4 Measure the temperature of the heat exchanger.
5 If the measured temperature deviates by more than 0.5 C from the actual
temperature, enter the measured value in the measured-temperature field
for the left heat exchanger.
6 Install the sensor at the measurement point on the right heat exchanger.
Repeat the calibration procedure for the right heat exchanger.
NOTE
Limits
After calibration, the measured temperature and the calibration temperature should be
within 0.5 C. The maximum deviation which can be adjusted is 1.6 C. If the measured
value and the calibration value differ by more than 1.6 C, this is an indication that a
problem exists, Column Thermostat Calibration Problems on page 69.

Test Functions
Column Thermostat Calibration Problems

If the temperature cannot be calibrated, check the following:
Has the thermostat front cover been closed correctly?
Is the measuring device functioning correctly, and is calibrated according to
the manufacturers instructions.
Hardware Failures
Probable hardware failures that can lead to a failed calibration procedure are:
Defective or wrongly calibrated measuring device.
Defective heater assembly.
Defective ambient-temperature sensor.
Defective CCM board.
Installing the Temperature Sensor

Installation of the temperature sensor is required for the temperature
calibration and temperature verification procedures.

5067-4108
8pos/9prt valve head low pressure
Valve Damage
Using a low pressure valve on the high pressure side can damage the valve.
When using multiple column compartments as part of a method development
solution, make sure that the high pressure valve head is connected to the
autosampler and the low pressure valve head is connected to the detector.
For details, please refer to the Method Development Solution User and Installation
Guide (part number: G4230-90000).
CAUTION
Column Damage or Bias Measurement Results

Switching the valve to a wrong position can damage the column or bias measurement
results.
Fitting the lobe to the groove is essential for making sure the valve is switched to
the correct position.
CAUTION
Valve properties are read from the valve head RFID tag during initialization of the
module. Valve properties will not be updated, if the valve head is replaced while the
module is on.
Selection of valve port positions can fail, if the instrument does not know the
properties of the installed valve.
Always switch off the instrument when replacing the valve head.
86
Maintenance
CAUTION
The valve actuator contains sensitive optical parts, which need to be protected from
dust and other pollutions. Pollution of these parts can impair the accurate selection of
valve ports and therefore bias measurement results.
Always install a valve head for operation and storage. For protecting the actuator, a
dummy valve head (part of transportation lock kit part number: G1316-67001) can be
used instead of a functional valve. Do not touch parts inside the actuator.
1 Switch off the module.
3 Unscrew the valve head.
2 Push the valve head for bringing it to its outer position

and unscrew all capillary connections from the valve
head.

Ensure the proper usage of the equipment.

The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
The operator of this instrument is advised to use the equipment in a manner as
specified in this manual.
General
This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective
earthing) and has been manufactured and tested according to international
safety standards.
Operation
Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the
following must be observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is
switched on, all protective earth terminals, extension cords,
auto-transformers, and devices connected to it must be connected to a
protective earth via a ground socket. Any interruption of the protective earth
grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious
personal injury. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired,
the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any intended
operation.
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified
type (normal blow, time delay, and so on) are used for replacement. The use of
repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders must be avoided.
115
Appendix
Safety Symbols
Some adjustments described in the manual, are made with power supplied to
the instrument, and protective covers removed. Energy available at many
points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under
voltage should be avoided whenever possible. When inevitable, this has to be
carried out by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. Do not
attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. Do not replace components
with power cable connected.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the
instrument.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged, even though the
instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply. Dangerous
voltages, capable of causing serious personal injury, are present in this
instrument. Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.
When working with solvents please observe appropriate safety procedures
(e.g. goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material
handling and safety data sheet by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or

Solvent Information
Solvent Information
Flow Cell
To protect optimal functionality of your flow-cell:
Avoid the use of alkaline solutions (pH > 9.5) which can attack quartz and
thus impair the optical properties of the flow cell.
If the flow cell is transported while temperatures are below 5 degree C, it
must be assured that the cell is filled with alcohol.
Aqueous solvents in the flow cell can built up algae. Therefore do not leave
aqueous solvents sitting in the flow cell. Add a small % of organic solvents
(e.g. acetonitrile or methanol ~5%).
Use of Solvents
Observe the following recommendations on the use of solvents.
Brown glass ware can avoid growth of algae.
Small particles can permanently block capillaries and valves. Therefore
always filter solvents through 0.4 m filters.
Avoid the use of the following steel-corrosive solvents:
Solutions of alkali halides and their respective acids (for example,
lithium iodide, potassium chloride, and so on),
High concentrations of inorganic acids like sulfuric acid and nitric acid,
especially at higher temperatures (if your chromatography method
allows, replace by phosphoric acid or phosphate buffer which are less
corrosive against stainless steel),
Halogenated solvents or mixtures which form radicals and/or acids, for
example:
2CHCl3 + O2 > 2COCl2 + 2HCl
This reaction, in which stainless steel probably acts as a catalyst, occurs
quickly with dried chloroform if the drying process removes the
stabilizing alcohol,
121
Appendix
Solvent Information
Chromatographic grade ethers, which can contain peroxides (for
example, THF, dioxane, di-isopropylether) such ethers should be filtered
through dry aluminium oxide which adsorbs the peroxides,
Solvents containing strong complexing agents (e.g. EDTA),
Mixtures of carbon tetrachloride with 2-propanol or THF.
