The flow-through cell is supplied being mounted on a special support with the convertor unit as shown in Fig. 2.27. Prior to measurements using the flow-through cell, loosen the oxygen probe protective sleeve to separate from the cable sleeve and remove it (Fig. 2.26а). Loosen the nut of the lower flow-through cell nipple and remove it.
Page 43
Feed controllable water to the flow-through cell. Place the cell with the probe so that the probe takes almost vertical position with the membrane downward. Allow water to easily flow through the cell within at least 10 min so that air bubbles are not present in the water flow running through the cell.
Note – In analyzer service: prevent probe membrane dry condition. For breaks in measurements the probe is to be kept in water. Preferably it should be kept in the flow-through cell filled with controllable water. To prevent water drain, hoses of inlet and outlet nipples may be connected using a short tube;...

2.6.6 Setting of initial analyzer parameters A provision is made in the meter for setting the analyzer initial parameters including shift (zero shift) and slope which corresponds to an "average" probe. This makes it possible to start calibration with preset initial conditions. The mode is to be used if analyzer calibration performance is doubtful.
3 MAINTENANCE Analyzer maintenance comprises: analyzer calibration against atmospheric air (2.3.4) to be carried out at least once every 10 days; analyzer shift setting (2.3.6) to be carried out every three months; probe cycling (2.3.3) to be carried out if the analyzer downtime exceeds 24 h.
