3 Setup and Initial Operation
First, remove all transport protections as shown on the last page and store them for later servicing.
The unit must be placed in a location
free from vibrations
and must be protected from direct
sources of heat such as sunlight, heaters, or furnaces. The ambient temperature should be between
10°C and 30°C (50-95°F).
The air inlets and outlets on the bottom and back of the unit must be unobstructed. Use the provided
power cable to connect the OSMOMAT auto from the power connector on the back of the unit to a
power outlet. Make sure the unit’s ground is enabled via the shockproof grounding.
If the power cable plug does not match the conventional power outlets in your location, you may
substitute another power cable. It is essential, however, that the cable’s green/yellow wire be
connected to the safety grounding.
It is also important to ensure that the voltage indicated on the name plate matches that
of your electricity network. Incorrect voltage will cause the fuse in the power supply
unit to blow.
The OSMOMAT auto can now be switched on via the power switch on the back of the unit (next to the
power connector). Two system numbers, the system date and time, and an initialization text for the
warm-up phase are shown in quick succession (Fig. 4). The initialization text disappears after
approximately 3 minutes and a greeting is displayed. The OSMOMAT auto is ready for measurements
and the subsequent operations can now be selected via the menu.
The waiting period of approximately 3 minutes is necessary for the formation of ice crystals at the
upper cooling system.
The
Esc
key can be used to switch immediately to the menu but this does not affect the waiting period.
