Installation of optional modules

Introduction
Up to six extra modules can be installed in the system: three modules can be installed
on the system wet side using the free module positions (module panels are installed in
these positions at delivery), and three modules can be connected to the back of the in-
strument.
Note:
To obtain an optional flow path, it is also possible to move the standard valves to other
positions. The illustration below shows the free module positions, marked in orange.
The Extension box can be used to hold modules connected to the back of the instrument.
See Section 2.6.3 Extension box, on page 53 for more information.
Node ID
Most of the available optional modules are preconfigured to give the desired function.
However, the function of a module or valve can be changed by changing its Node ID.
Node ID is also used by the instrument to distinguish between several units of the same
type.
Refer to Section 9.15 Check and change the Node ID of a module, on page 515 for instruc-
tions on how to check and change the Node ID of a module.

Do not remove any module panels and then leave the position empty. It will
affect instrument function.
