21. Install the reagents:
Do not tighten or remove the bottle cap or attempt to mix the contents
of one bottle with another. The bottle caps are adjusted to ensure proper
reagent flow.
a. Remove the plugs from the reagent bottle caps.
b. Record the installation date in the space provided on the reagent labels.
c. Slide the bottles into position in the reagent compartment. The reagents
must be placed as follows from left to right on the reagent manifold:
22. Prepare the waste bottle:
a. Remove the waste bottle.
b. Remove the protective packaging from the waste detector.
c. Replace the waste bottle and ensure it is seated properly.
23. Prepare the reference sensor:
a. Partially fill the internal reference electrode compartment with 4M KCl
solution, and tap to remove bubbles.
b. Continue to fill the internal reference sensor compartment until the 4M KCl
fill solution flows into the reservoir.
c. Use the hex tool to remove the internal reference electrode from its
container. Insert the internal reference electrode into the reference electrode
compartment. Screw it into place using the hex tool. Do not cross thread
the internal sensor into the compartment. Tap the sensor to remove bubbles.
d. Remove the reservoir cap with the hex tool.
e. Fill the reservoir to the fill line with 4M KCl fill solution.
f. Put the reservoir cap back into position. Hand tighten the reservoir cap.
Do not overtighten. Overtightening can deform the gasket and cause
leakage.
g. Wipe any excess KCl solution from the exterior of the reference sensor
with a lint-free tissue.
h. Tap the sensor with your knuckle to remove bubbles.
