Requirements

 

To install and operate the

 

ANKOM

TDF

 Dietary Fiber Analyzer you will need the following:  

 

Adjustable wrench 

 

Adequate power (see “Operating Environment” section of this manual) 

 

Drain or waste container to capture waste fluids 

 

100 psi (6.9 bar) Nitrogen Supply 

 

Because the instrument is powered by pneumatics, do NOT run it without an 
adequate Nitrogen Supply. You can run approximately 5 to 10 full assays 
(IDF/SDF or TDF) with a 304 cu ft tank of nitrogen.

Installation

 

Procedure

 

To install the ANKOM

TDF

 Dietary Fiber Analyzer, follow the steps below. 

1.

 

Unpack

 

and

 

place

 

the

 

instrument

 

where

 

it

 

will

 

be

 

used.

 

 

The instrument shipping container consists of three separate cardboard pieces: a top, a bottom, and a sleeve that forms the
body of the container. Remove the top and the sleeve of the instrument shipping container. Lift the instrument off of the 
shipping container bottom and place it on a surface that is firm and level in an area near a Nitrogen Supply and a drain or
chemical waste container. 

 

Waste fluids are drained from the instrument using gravity. Therefore, position the 
instrument so that the drain tube can run down from the Waste Tray. 

The instrument must not be subjected to excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, oil, or other fluids. 

 

Ethanol is used within this instrument. Follow both local and federal regulations for 
vent hood requirements when installing this instrument. 

 

2.

 

Unpack

 

the

 

attachments

 

and

 

accessories.

 

 

Within the shipping container is a cardboard box containing attachments and accessories. Open the box and verify that all
of the following items are there. 

 

Control Panel 

 

 

Bag Drying and Weighing:

  2 – Desiccant Pouches, 1 – Drying Rack, 1 – Bag Weigh Holder
