Instrument Startup; Priming - Thermo Scientific Orion 8010cX User Manual

• The liquid waste tube must descend directly down from the
instrument to the liquid waste tank without bending,
twisting or turning in the middle, otherwise it will lead to
difficulties in overflow of liquid wastes, which will affect the
functions of the instrument.
• Hazardous chemical liquid waste tubes and cleaning liquid
waste tubes must be inserted into the hazardous chemical
liquid waste tank and non-hazardous cleaning liquid waste
tank respectively, and shall not be inserted incorrectly;
• The liquid waste tank must be clearly marked. Disposal of
liquid waste should be managed in accordance with local
laws and regulations.

Instrument Startup

After the installation of reagent, standard solution and water
sample is completed, power on the instrument, and the
instrument enters the main interface. Users can choose to
view the status of the instrument, set the parameters of the
instrument, enter the maintenance mode, or conduct analysis
and calibration.
If the automatic initialization option of the system has been set
as "ON", the instrument will be initialized automatically after
starting up. Please wait patiently for the automatic completion
of the initialization step.
It is recommended that the user shall set the automatic
initialization option as "ON". Such setting ensures that after
the power-off and restart of the instrument, the automatic
initialization operation is performed before automatic
measurement, so as to avoid direct measurement from
damaging the instrument.

Priming

Before the subsequent formal analysis, it is required to prime
the flow path. The main purpose of priming is to expel the air
from the reagent and water sample tubing, while filling the
tubes with fresh water sample and reagent to ensure the
normal subsequent analysis.
The user can select tubing solutions to prime such as:
deionized water, water sample, standard solution, reagent 1,
reagent 2, reagent 3 and all. It is recommended that deionized
water shall be 5 mL, and other solutions shall be 1.2 mL.
