5 Putting into operation
This chapter describes how the instrument is installed and gives instructions on initial startup.
NOTE
Inspect the instrument for damages during unpacking. If necessary, prepare a status report immedia-
tely to inform the postal company, railway company or transportation company.
Keep the original packaging for future transportation.
5 .1 Installation site
Install the instrument on a clean, flat and stable base and place the tank for Reagent 1 (acid) below
instrument level (not more than 1 m). Place the other tanks on the same level as the instrument (not
higher and not more than 1 m lower).
ATTENTION
To ensure the instrument safety do not place any object on top of it.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons, make sure that the distance between the instrument and another object or a wall
is at least 30 cm.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons do not place any containers, chemicals or other instruments behind the instru-
ment.
5 .2 Electrical connections
Fig. 5.1: Electrical connections
ATTENTION
Make sure that the voltage on the socket corresponds to the voltage given on the type plate of the
instrument.
Always connect the instrument to an earthed socket. External connections and extension cables
must be provided with an earthed conductor lead (3-pole couplings, cable or plug equipment) as the
mains lead has a molded plug, thus avoiding risks due to inadvertent defective wiring.
