Expedients for transport
The instrument must be transported in its original packaging and any indications
present on the original packaging must be followed (e.g. palletised). The caps must
be placed on the hydraulic connections.
NOTE
: The tubes of the hydraulic circuit must be emptied and washed in order to avoid
reagent residues causing damage to the unit during the transport.
Before disconnecting the unit from the electric power supply and from the water
supply, empty the hydraulic circuit of tap water and reagent solutions following the
procedure described below
Place an empty test tube in the unit.
Remove the inlet tubes from their containers and turn them upside down to
prevent the reserve message appearing. Follow the instructions for filling the
tubes in
“System” /"Check-up" / "Manual Check-up" to empty them completely.
Suck warm distilled water (approx. 40°C) into the sodium hydroxide tubes to
remove any crystals from the tubes and from the internal parts that come into
contact with the NaOH. Empty the circuit by removing the tube from the warm
distilled water and turning it upside down.
Disconnect the reagent tubes with level sensors from the connectors on the rear
panel of the unit (H
2
O, NaOH).
Unscrew the water tube from the water tap and place the open end in a
receptacle containing water, preferably below the instrument. This triggers the
emptying of the hydraulic circuit and the condenser.
When moving the instrument always use the special handles on the side of the
instrument.
