Micromeritics Saturn II 5205 DigiSizer Installation Instructions And Checklist page 26

Setting up the DigiSizer System
c. Pour approximately 10 liters of water into the rinse container. It may be necessary to add
a small amount of surfactant for difficult-to-rinse materials. For example, you may wish
to use 0.0005% sodium metaphosphate (W/W) in deionized water.
d. Place the waste container on the floor beside the rinse and analysis containers. If you
plan to use a MasterTech with the standard sample handler, replace the 5-gallon
container with one that will hold at least 10 gallons. If available, a direct-drain system
would be more desirable when using the MasterTech.
e. Label the containers appropriately.
3. Remove the plugs from the tubing ports on the front panel of the liquid sample handler.
4. Install the tubing onto the ports of the liquid sample handler as described below.
The two pieces of 0.64-cm (1/4-in.) diameter tubing are installed on the two upper ports
(analysis and rinse).
The 0.79-cm (5/16-in.) diameter tubing (drain) is installed on the lower left port and the
1.27-cm (1/2-in.) diameter tubing (overflow) is installed on the lower right port.

5. Insert the other ends of the drain tubing and the overflow tubing just inside the waste
container. Use a clamp or similar device to ensure that the tubing is kept above the liquid
level or cut the tubing so that the ends are just inside the container. If the tubing is allowed
to become immersed in liquid, timeout errors will occur.
6. Insert the other ends of the rinse and analysis tubing into the cap(s) of their respective
containers, then install a weight onto the end of each tubing.
