Reconnect the pump tubing to the valve module and sensor module. 

Push the sampler down into the closed position.

Press YES to 

REPLACEMENT COMPLETED?

. Reagents 

are automatically primed from the reagent module. When prim-

ing is complete, the display indicates the detection of each 

fluid with 

PASS

, then automatically returns to the

A 

WARMING UP

 message may appear for up to 30 minutes. 

During this time, the EasyStat will not calibrate or analyze samples.

If the sampler was replaced, the sampler switches may be checked for 

proper function. Select the
