Connections
The following section provides general information concerning
the 500D syringe pump, some tips about liquid connections and
information about tubing and tubing cutting procedures. The
accessory package is also discussed.
2B.2.1 Ports There are two ports in the cylinder cap. The 500D ports come
standard with 1 8" pipe thread fittings.
Either port can serve as the inlet or outlet. As shown in Figure
2B-1, you may plug one port and use a single port as both the
inlet and outlet.

2B.2.2 500D Installation Tips • Be sure to keep the tubing as straight as possible at the
end, as this will make it easier to install the ferrules.
• Be sure to cut the ends of the tubing squarely.
• Don’t leave burrs on the ends of the tubing.
• When installing ferrules on the tubing, be sure the
tubing extends beyond the ferrule to allow for proper
crimping.
• If the connection is leaking, retighten fittings.
• Push the tubing completely into the port before tightening
the nut.
• When connections are made to the cylinder cap, the
pressure reading may be affected. If the pressure no
longer reads zero, push the pressure zero key on the
controller front panel.
2B.2.3 Tubing Cutting To prevent possible problems, it is important to squarely cut the
tubing. Square ends will be easier to insert through the ferrule
and will lower the dead volume.
