proceed through the check list in the given order, completing the 5 sections below.

and startup procedures are available in a presentation format in the MMC/SD card shipped with the

BioTector. It is recommended to review this document before starting the commissioning and startup

procedures. If the BioTector analyzer is certified for hazardous areas, carefully read the hazardous area

documentation supplied with the analyzer. This documentation contains important information for compliance

with explosion protection regulations. Understanding this information is essential for the safe operation of the

equipment.

For system and personal safety, refer to

safety precautions, such as wearing eye protection and gloves, should be taken throughout the

commissioning and startup procedures.

1. INSPECTION and SYSTEM CONNECTIONS:

FMM20 reagent pumps and reagent tubes are filled with deionized water (DIW), and several other

tubing are disconnected and labeled in the BioTector for shipping. Before connecting any tubing,

inspect the analyzer. Remove the three nuts and open the analysis door. Check all the electrical

and tubing connections and confirm that there are no loose connections within the BioTector.

Close the analysis door.

•

Disconnect the PFA tube at the top of the acid TEE. This PFA tube connects the acid

TEE and the base TEE in a loop. Drain the DIW from the TEE connectors and PFA tube

into a suitable container and dispose. Remove the blank fitting, which is located above

the Reactor Valve, from the TEE connector. Reconnect the free end of the previously

disconnected tube to the TEE where the blank fitting was located.

•

Remove the PFA tubing loop, which connects the acid and base ports, located outside

the BioTector. Drain the DIW from the PFA tubing into a suitable container and dispose.

The nuts and ferrules, located on these ports, will be used for the acid and base

connections. FMM20 reagent pumps, which have a 50µm particle tolerance, and the

reagent tubing, must be kept free from dust and particulates.

•

Reconnect the tube linking the Ozone Generator to the acid TEE, at the TEE.

•

Reconnect the tube linking the Cooler and CO

The tubing of Sample Pump is disconnected and labeled in BioTector for shipping. Reconnect the

Sample Pump tubing.

Check the Swagelok / PFA tube connections and confirm there are no loose connections within

the BioTector.

Confirm the mains supply voltage and the frequency on site match the analyzer requirements.

Remove the cover of the Power and Input/Output Board by sliding the cover from left to right

slightly. Connect the power cable. Install the supplied ferrite by winding the power cable once

around the ferrite, forming a single loop (see figure 1 and table 2 in Section

Enclosure).

Connect the 4-20mA cables. Install the supplied ferrite on the 4-20mA cables by winding the 4-

20mA cables once around the ferrite, forming a single loop.

Connect low voltage wiring (e.g. Fault Relay).

Connect the air supply to the BioTector's AIR port. See figure 12 in Section

Connection

for details. The minimum air supply flow rate is 8.4 m

air consumption is less than 5.4 m

the oxygen concentrator is running, the pressure typically cycles from 1.5 bar to 0.9 bar.

Option A: Instrument air. The set point pressure of the air, supplied from an existing

instrument air supply line, should be 1.5 bar. The recommended air quality

is -20°C dew point, free of water, oil and dust.

Option B: BioTector Compressor. The set point air pressure supplied from BioTector

compressor should be 1.2 bar.

In BioTectors built with a vortex cooler, air should be supplied to the vortex cooler using a

regulator, which is dedicated for the vortex cooler only.
