Long-time Storage
When the instrument is not used for more than 1 month, store the instrument by the following
procedure:
1.
Stop the instrument.
2.
Discharge the water from drain trap.
When water remains, the internal water corrodes to cause alga or dirt in the trap.
In winter, the drain trap may be cracked.
Note
Be careful in handling the water in the drain trap, because it may be strongly acidic depending on the
sample condition. If your hand or skin contacts the water in the drain trap, flush away with water
completely.
3.
When the calibration gas is connected, ensure the main valve is closed.
Note
To store the instrument in a place other than the installation site, avoid direct sunlight, wind, or rain.
