I. QC-100 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove and discard any used
QuickCheck
Vial (QCV). If a vial is
left attached to the QC-100 during storage the flow path may become
saturated. This is especially a concern if more than one gas type of
QCV is being used.
2.
Press the On/Off button to turn on the QC-100. A green light indicates
normal operation. A red light indicates a low battery condition. If a red
light occurs, replace the two ‘AA’ batteries with fresh, alkaline batteries
and repeat step two.
( Note:
Do not use a metal object to remove the
batteries as this can short out the electrical circuit.)
3.
Select the QCV with the gas type desired.
4.
Squeeze the QCV firmly at the point where the label reads ‘
PInCh
heRe TO bReAk InneR AmPOuLe
’. This allows the liquid to
absorb into the wicking material and start releasing the test gas.
5.
Install the QCV into the QC-100, To install insert the QCV snuggly
into the opening on the right side of the instrument near the top.
6.
Attach any tubing or calibration adapters if needed.
Note:
A three
foot section of chemically resistant tubing is included with the QC-100.
If inappropriate tubing or adapters are used the chemical may be lost
in the sample system without reaching the sensor to be tested.
7.
Place the end of the QC-100, tubing or calibration adapter at the sensor
to be tested.
8.
If an appropriate response is not achieved the output of gas can be
varied by opening (turning counter-clockwise) or closing (turning
clockwise) the needle valve on the top side of the QC-100.
9.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for any other sensors to be tested,
Note:
Do not
continue testing if the QCV is depleted.
