2.2.7 Draining the System

In liquid analysis systems, the system drain manifold must terminate in a
safe area as the sample may be poisonous or corrosive.

Before plugging the instrument into the power source:
•
•
•
NOTE: Special designed systems may require checks under vacuum
Power up the system, and test it by performing the following
operations:
1. Repeat the Self-Diagnostic Test, section 3.3.4, part I
2.4
Zero and span fluids must be made by the chemistry lab or certified zero
and span gas bought from a gas supplier. The zero fluid must be the major
component of the sample, free from the component of interest.
The span fluid must be the major component of the sample mixed with
a small amount of the component of interest. The concentration must be 80 to
95% of the range or the widest range of the instrument (if the instrument provides
more than one range).
Refer to Section 3.3.8 section I of the manual to determine how to
manipulate the mode setting. Two calibration methods are available.
1. Calibration with zero and span fluids.

Testing the System

Check the integrity and accuracy of the fluid connections. Make
sure there are no leaks.
Check the integrity and accuracy of the electrical connections.
Make sure there are no exposed conductors
Check that sample pressure is between 3 and 40 psig, according
to the requirements of your process.
