Installation of Clean Waste Tank, Chemical
Waste Tank, or Drain Connections
Please refer to Figure 4.1 regarding waste tubing.
The instrument has two liquid waste tubing for discharging
spent chemical and sample. Waste can either be collected
or discharged to the drain/waste system, depending on
site requirements. If waste is collected, the chemical waste
tube should be connected to a designated hazardous
chemical waste tank, and the non-hazardous clean waste
tube should be connected to a designated clean waste
tank. It is recommended that the waste tubing is secured
to the lid of the waste tank to prevent chemical spills.
If waste is to be discharged to the drain/waste system,
route the waste tubing as appropriate to the drain/waste
system. Ensure the tubing is secured to the drain to
prevent chemical spills.
Main steps of waste tubing installation:
a) Insert each tubing line through each of the two
rubber sealing covers at the lower right of the
instrument cabinet.
b) Adjust and cut the waste tubing outside the
instrument to a suitable length (according to the
specific position of the liquid waste tanks), secure
the tubing on the lid of the waste tank and extend
it into the waste tanks.
Note:
Only trained and qualified personnel can carry
•
out waste related operations.
•
it is recommended to dispose the waste tanks at
least once a month.
•
Liquid waste tubing shall not be immersed below
the level of liquid waste to avoid potential
backflow of wastes; It is recommended to install
waste tanks at a lower position than the outlet of
drain tubing from the analyzer to avoid backflow.
•
The waste tubing goes directly down from the
instrument to the waste tanks without bending,
twisting or pinching, otherwise it will lead to

difficulties in discharge of wastes, which will affect
the performance of the instrument.
•
The waste tank must be clearly marked and
managed in accordance with local laws and
regulations.
Instrument Startup
After the installation of reagents, water sample, standards,
validation and tubing are completed, power
instrument. Users can choose to view the status of the
instrument, set the parameters of the instrument, choose
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. Auto-initialization checks instrument
status, valve position, fluid levels and drains any remaining
fluid in the system. Please wait patiently for the completion
of automatic initialization.
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 to avoid errors.
Solution Prime
Before
beginning analysis after installation, it is
recommended to prime all sample and reagent tubing. The
main purpose of priming is to remove air from the reagent
and water sample lines by filling the tubing with fresh
sample and reagents, ensuring proper analysis.
recommended to prime 3 mL of sample to prevent "lack of
sample". The reagents and standard solutions only need
prime of ~1ml. Priming can be used to see whether your
bottle tube assembly is correct with tube inlet near bottom
of reagent/standard. If it shows lack of sample during
prime, it means that the tube end is not inserted to the
primed solution.
Users have eight options when priming: the water sample,
standard 1, standard 2, reagent 1, reagent 2, reagent 3,
validation, and cleaning solution.
