2.14 Grounding
Risk of fire or explosion. Nonconductive, nonpolar liquids at linear velocities greater
than 40 cm/sec will develop an electrostatic charge. If this applies to your application,
all components along the fluid path must be electrically grounded. An electrical
ground is necessary to dissipate electrostatic charges that may build while collecting
fluids such as organic solvents.
Refer to your local health and safety directives and ground the solvent delivery lines,
Torrent, optional equipment, and collection and waste containers according to these
governing directives.
Note
The entire fluid path of the Torrent is electrically grounded. The black tubing is conductive.
Never substitute the black tubing.
2.15 Turn on Power
The Torrent's power switch is located above the touch screen panel. Turn the switch to
the ON positions. Peripheral equipment should also be turned on at this time. The
Torrent will begin its startup routine which includes self diagnostics. The Torrent is
ready for operation when the PeakTrak screen is displayed.
