Installing the pH flow cell
1
Install the pH flow cell holder (packed in Box-900) in the groove
directly below the outlet valve (V4) on the outside of the valve door.
2
Push the slide clamp upwards to secure the pH flow cell holder.
3
Connect capillary G12 to the inlet of the pH flow cell.
4
Connect the outlet of the pH flow cell to the FR-904 flow restrictor
(marked IN) using the G13 capillary.
5
Connect the outlet of the FR-904 flow restrictor to the centre port
of the V4 outlet valve using the G14 capillary.
6
Place the FR-904 flow
restrictor (14) in the hole in
the pH flow cell holder.
7
Mount the pH electrode (16),
according to the figure, for
experiments where pH is to be
measured. Otherwise, mount
the pH electrode dummy in
the hole in the pH flow cell
holder.
Note: Do not install the pH electrode until the installation test has been
performed.
Note: When using the pH electrode, the flow restrictor FR-904 must be
replaced with the supplied flow restrictor FR-902. Otherwise,
the long term stability and lifetime of the pH electrode will
deteriorate.
Note: For calibration of the pH electrode, refer to the
