Connecting the Drain System to the Burner
3. Take the other end of the drain hose, where the drain float assembly is located,
and secure it to the drain waste bottle (Carboy 15L).
4. Connect the drain interlock.
5. Before connecting the drain tube to the burner assembly, pour about 250 mL
of water into the free end of the drain tube to fill the drain loop and to activate
the drain float. Both the Air pressure and Drain interlocks will be activated
until the magnetic sensor is engaged. Both interlocks should clear once the
drain float is filled with water.
Preconditioning A Drain Tube
In order for a new sample introduction system to aspirate and drain smoothly,
the internal surfaces must be preconditioned.
• Aspirate for 5 minutes a 1+1 solution of methanol in water.
Adding Water to the Drain Trap
The drain vessel includes an internal trap to make certain that burner gases cannot
escape into the drain vessel. Enough water must be present in the drain system to
fill the drain loop and to activate the drain float. If not, carry out the following
procedure:
1. Open the compartment door.
2. Remove the clamp around the drain tube.
Note
The safety interlock connection goes to the instrument. Until you
precondition the drain tube, a drain and air pressure interlock error
message will appear on the computer. See the following procedure to
satisfy the drain interlock.
Note
You must perform this procedure directly after installation of a new burner
system and you should repeat it if you replace the drain tube or any of the
sample introduction component.
