Restore the power supply to the control unit and restart the instrument in normal operation. If you find you have to replace the desiccant frequently, have a SIGRIST ser- vice technician check whether the Ex enclosure is still tight. Replacement of desiccant in the sensor head Never open the photometer when cold product is flowing through the pipes.

Instruction Manual DualScat Ex Action Insert the photometer into the checking unit and clamp it firmly in place. Turn the entire assembly to the horizontal position and place the filling funnel on top ( Figure 16). Switch on the power supply to the control unit and let the instrument warm up for at least 3 minutes.
You can use an empty standard in-line housing ( Figure 17), the lower open- ing of which is closed off with an end plate, or the SIGRIST checking unit with removed solid reference (two screws must be removed in this case).
Instruction Manual DualScat Ex Action Reconnect the power supply to the control unit and let the instrument warm up for at least 3 minutes. Flush out the test setup two or three times with the calibration suspension. Fill calibration suspension carefully into the test setup until it is completely full.
