2. Place the other end of the tube into a waste container or appropriate drain. Avoid low spots in the tube
so that water traps do not form in the tube.
3. The waste tube fitting requires a vent tube to be attached to ensure that corrosive and noxious gases
are routed away from the instrument. The vent tube should be connected to the upper straight barb
fitting and routed at least 2 meters away.
N :
If the Online unit is installed in a closed cabinet or small enclosed room, it is required to vent the
OTE
waste line as described in item #3.
N :
The waste container can be located on or below the surface on which the Analyzer is at or below the
OTE
bottom of the Analyzer. Do not place the waste container higher than that surface because the gas-
liquid separator will not drain properly. Also, try to minimize the length of tubing used and ensure a
straight tubing path (avoid bending the tubing).
Depending on the composition of the sample, halogens such as chlorine or
bromine, or toxic fumes from fluoride, cyanide, or other toxic salts, can be emitted
into the Analyzer's waste. To protect against inhalation of hazardous fumes, add
sodium hydroxide (lye) or sodium carbonate (soda ash) to the waste container to
neutralize acid in the waste. Locate the Analyzer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid
stratification of the waste within the container by occasionally agitating the
container.
