Installation and sample handling
Damage to the measuring cell
The ingress of liquids into the analyzer module can cause serious damage including destruction of the sample cell.
Note
The following information on installation and the sample handling must be considered for the measurement and the execution of
controlled calibrations (manual, automatic and externally controlled calibration).
Manually operated cocks and valves must be replaced by controlled valves suitable for the oxygen trace measurement, as required.
