5.6 After use and storage
You can power off the instrument without losing setup or calibration parameters.
If measuring in a liquid sample, run clean warm water through the flow chamber after each series of
measurements to prevent passages from clogging, and to keep the membrane clean.
The sensor must be continuously purged to prevent any damage to the thermal conductivity sensing
element. The instrument handles this automatically, even if switched off during short periods (for
example overnight), provided it has a power supply (fully charged batteries or an external power
supply).
If you expect not to use your sensor for several days, flush all sample liquid out of the flow chamber,
remove it and dry with a soft tissue. Dry the sensor head surface with a clean soft tissue to ensure no
liquid is on the membrane or protection cap. Once dry, replace the sensor's storage cap to protect it
from any accidental damage. Store with a silica bag to prevent any humidity build-up.
Section 6 Options setup

special monitoring feature, which lets your computer act as a chart recorder, and enables a hardware
test to ensure that the system is in good working order.
