Sievers 860 Laboratory
TOC Analyzer
and Sievers Autosampler RT12
Quick Start Guide
IMPORTANT NOTICE
For more detailed instructions, download the
Sievers 860
Laboratory TOC Analyzer Operation and Maintenance
Manual
from our website.
Installation Instructions
Step 1
Unpack and inspect the Analyzer.
Step 2
Complete the identification records.
Step 3
Select a location for the Analyzer. Refer to the System
Specifications chart.
Place the Analyzer on a clean, unobstructed surface that can
accommodate the Analyzer’s dimensions and weight; for details refer to
the "System Specifications." For proper heat dissipation, ensure that
16 cm (6.3 in) is available at the rear and on both sides of the Analyzer.
The Analyzer is designed to be operated right-side up, resting on the
rubber feet.
Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; operating at elevated
temperatures (greater than 40 ºC) prevents proper operation, and
operating at low temperatures (10 ºC) can cause errors in the
measurements.
Step 4
Connect the compressed gas.
Attach the Analyzer to a source of dry, oil-free gas that contains less than
1 ppb CO
2
, and which is pressurized from 30 to 50 psig (207 to 345 kPa).
The preferred gas is purified air. Nitrogen is also a suitable gas if the IC is
less than 1 ppm.
Refer to the "Warnings" section for important information about the
use of compressed gas.
1. Locate the 1/8" OD tubing with 1/8" SwageLok fitting for gas inlet
line, 3 meters long, in the accessories kit.
Warnings
The vial sparging assembly contains a sharp needle
designed to
pierce the septa of sample vials. Do not put fingers or inappropriate
objects into the vial sparging assembly.
To avoid false TOC readings and possible damage
to the Analyzer,
always make sure the DI water cartridge is filled before starting analysis.
The Sievers 860 Laboratory TOC Analyzer
is not designed to sample
in on-line mode from a pressurized water source.
The waste stream from the Analyzer is acidic
and must be disposed of
according to local regulations.
Secure all gas cylinders
to an immovable structure or permanent wall.
Wear eye protection when using compressed gases
to avoid possible
eye injury.
If the Analyzer is used with compressed gases,
the pressure of the
gas at the gas inlet must not exceed 200 psig (1379 kPa). Use only
CO
2
-free air or nitrogen. Use only regulators designed for use with the
selected gas. Store compressed gases in accordance with all safety
codes.
Before connecting the Sievers Autosampler RT12 to the Analyzer,
or disconnecting the Austosampler from the Analyzer, always stop TOC
measurements/protocols,
and turn Off power to the Analyzer.
Do NOT manually rotate the sample rack
while the Sievers
Autosampler RT12 is connected to the Analyzer, even when the Analyzer
is NOT powered.
Do not use the Sievers Autosampler
RT12
to sample flammable
liquids.
The Sievers Autosampler RT12 should not be in contact with
flammable liquids, nor be used near flammable liquids.
The Sievers Autosampler
RT12
sample needle is sharp.
Avoid
contacting the needle assembly during analysis, and use caution when
handling the needle assembly when the needle is at rest.
Avoid the possibility of the Autosampler needle hitting the
sample rack
and damaging the needle during the alignment
process. Make sure to align the Autosampler needle by small
increments (we suggest by one), and test the new alignment position.
Any operation requiring access to the inside of the Analyzer, including
installation of maintenance items, could result in injury. To avoid potentially
dangerous shock, turn off power and, if possible, disconnect from the
power supply before opening the Analyzer.
The UV lamp contains mercury and may be considered hazardous
material in your local area. Dispose of these items in accordance with
federal, state, or local government regulations.
Should the UV lamp become broken or damaged it should be handled
in accordance with your organization’s toxic waste handling procedure
and disposed of in accordance with federal, state, or local government
regulations.

product specifications.
