How to Shut Down the Liquid NanoParticle Sizer System
for Moving or Shipping
If you need to move the Liquid NanoParticle Sizer system to another lab or
facility or ship it for service, read this section to familiarize yourself with the
precautions you should take and the procedures you should follow.
Performing any of the following improper handling techniques may damage
the instrument and will invalidate the warranty:
▪
Shipping/transporting an undried/undrained instrument.
▪
Tipping > 10
during normal operation.
▪
Subjecting an undried/undrained instrument to freezing
temperatures.
Preparing the NanoParticle Nebulizer for Shipping
To prepare the NanoParticle Nebulizer for shipping, follow these
instructions:
1.
Turn off the water supply to the NanoParticle Nebulizer and wait a few
seconds for the water pressure to drop to zero (confirm that the pressure
is zero by looking at the Device Status screen).
2.
Keep the power turned on and the compressed air flowing into the
Air
Inlet
on the back panel.
3.
Connect the CDA/N
2
adapter fitting (provided with the instrument) to the
UPW inlet port and apply clean dry air or nitrogen at 30 psi to the port.
Run for 2 hours.
4.
Remove the tubing and cap the
UPW Inlet
on the front panel.
5.
Remove the
Shipping Drain
cap. Water will drain from the fitting. Tilt
the device towards the back to allow the nebulizer module reservoir to
empty completely. Note: If necessary, you can install tubing to take the
waste flow to a suitable drain.
6.
Disconnect the air or nitrogen supply line and the water waste line and
turn off the power.
7.
Place all the caps that you received with the instrument on the inlets and
outlets to prevent material from entering the instrument. The
NanoParticle Nebulizer is now prepared for shipping or moving.
Note:
If you did not save the original protective caps, find suitable
alternatives.
8.
Place the instrument in its original packing materials for shipping.
