Periodic inspection
This instrument requires some regular checking, which is very important to keep
your instrument up and running.
Katanax knows that a broken instrument in a laboratory setting causes sample
back-up and unnecessary costs. That is why this manual comprises not only a
Periodic inspection section, but also a Service operations chapter (see page 56),
which guides the user in a step-by-step fashion through operations that
sometimes need to be performed on-site.
If unsure, do not hesitate to get in touch with a Katanax technician (see page 84,
Contacting Katanax ). Assistance by phone or email is always free of charge.
Note that no modifications of the instrument are allowed, except those explicitly
described and permitted in this manual. Any undue modification automatically
cancels the warranty and could endanger the user's life.
Warning
IMPORTANT : Some of the procedures described in the following pages imply a
risk of death by electrocution; those procedures shall be executed only by

This procedure describes an easy, yet crucial, step to be completed before each
fusion cycle. Flux spillages (residues), if left un-cleaned, can potentially lead to the
deterioration of key components of the fluxer.
