3 Commissioning

To commission the AW101:

1. Connect a full reagent bottle. 

2. Attach the vacuum connection onto the reagent bottle

using the union nut.

3. Switch the unit 

on

 and press the 

STANDBY

 key. 

In this mode, an analysis is prevented from being carried
out before a correct program has been selected to prevent
an error or alarm message.

4. Bleed the dosing pump and the capillary by repeatedly

pressing the 

Manual

 key on the dosing pump. Ensure all

air is removed from the tubing (if necessary, tighten up the
connections).

5. Program the unit as applicable to your requirements, for

example:

Mode of Operation 

 Type of reagent 

 Displayed unit 

Limit values 

For a description of programming see page 11.

6. Remove all air from the water supply side of the unit by

manual flushing.

 SERVICE 

 MANUAL OPERATION 

 FLUSH

(

ENTER

 press repeatedly).

Continue flushing until no bubbles can be seen in either
the measuring chamber or the filter housing.

7. Check all connections for tightness.

8. Press the 

Manual

 key to carry out the first analysis.
