.
As the Dispersion Unit pumps water into the cell, top up the tank to take
account of the cell and tube capacity.
.
With the pump running, check all tubing connections for leaks.
.
Similarly check the cell for leaks.
.
Close the cell drawer (Mastersizer Micro and Microplus only).
If the system is to be used regularly (daily or every other day), it is best left in a
wet condition. This limits the possibility of deposits and smears etc. on the cell
windows. Use the Dispersion Unit to circulate a solution of approximately 2%
“Decon 90" through the system and switch off.
When starting up again, flush the system at least twice to remove all traces of the
Decon 90 (see page 6.1 for details on flushing the Accessory).
