Section 3 Installation C A U T I O N Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document. 3.1 Installation guidelines • This instrument is for indoor use only. • The power supply connector on the rear panel must be easily accessible so the power can be disconnected quickly in case of emergency.
Installation 3.4 Install the sensor storage tubes Put the three sensor storage tubes into the holder that is on the side of the instrument. Refer to Figure 1 on page 7. 3.5 Install the sensor holder accessories Add the stir bar to the beaker, and then attach the beaker to the sensor holder. Install the desiccant cartridge and the sample stopper.
Installation 3.8 Install the sensor 3.8.1 Connect the sensor Use a conical adapter to hold the sensor tightly in the sensor holder. Make sure the conical adapter is installed correctly. This makes sure of a secure water-tight fitting in the sensor holder and the tip of the sensor will be in the correct position in the beaker.
Installation 3.9 Install the titrant and the reagent C A U T I O N Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Installation 3.10 Tidy the work area Attach the tubes to the instrument with the clips on the electrovalve and the sensor holder. Refer to the illustrated steps that follow. 3.11 Install accessories 3.11.1 Install an external pump This accessory (Item no. LZE142) is used to remove unwanted sample from the beaker.
Installation 1. Remove any bends in the end of the tube from the inlet port on the pump. 2. Push the tube into a tube holder slot so it is correctly attached. 3. Make sure that the end of the tube is near the bottom of the beaker. 4.
