Operation
before attempting to run tests on your instrument.
Step 1 — Find a location for your instrument
When choosing a location for your new osmometer, be sure to
meet the following criteria.
•
Adequate space. The dimensions of the instrument,
including the onboard box of sampler tips and chamber
cleaners, are 14h × 15d × 14w inches (35.3h × 38d ×
35.5w cm). Be sure to keep your workplace free of debris,
especially underneath the instrument where proper ventila-
tion is needed. Make sure not to block the exhaust fan on
the back panel.
•
Electric outlet availability.
Your instrument will need to
operate within five feet of a properly grounded, three-
prong electrical outlet capable of continuously supplying
1.25 ampere at 100-240V, 50/60 Hz. If the instrument is
not grounded properly, its operation may be impaired and a
safety hazard may exist. Therefore, be sure to test the out-
let and record the results before operating your instrument.
Step 2 — Unpack your instrument
To unpack your osmometer, take the following steps.
