Turning the Analyzer On and Off

Turning the Analyzer On

1. Place the computer, monitor and printer ON/OFF switches in the ON position.
2. Place the analyzer ON/OFF switch in the ON position. The pump will turn on automatically if it is
plugged into the electrical outlet.
Do not turn off the analyzer while initialization is in progress. Doing so may damage the
instrument.
3. Turn on the pump. The pump must warm for approximately two hours before performing
analyses. For analyses that require very precise results, allow the analyzer to warm up while the
sample is being prepared.

Turning the Analyzer Off

Always exit the analysis program before turning off the computer. Failure to do so
could result in loss of data.
It is recommended that the analyzer be powered on at all times. If it does become necessary to turn it
off, perform the following steps:
1. Select File > Exit from the analyzer program (or use the Alt+F4 keyboard shortcut).
If an analysis is in progress, the following message is displayed:
2459- An Instrument is busy. A delay in restarting this
application could result in loss of new data. Continue
program exit?
Yes
Select Yes and the analysis program closes. The analysis continues and data continue to be
collected. Queued reports under the print manager will print. If a power failure occurs and an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is not attached to the analyzer, the data collected after exiting
the analysis program are lost.
2. Place the computer, monitor and printer ON/OFF switches in the OFF position.
3. Place the analyzer ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
