Installation and Setup
In order to set up your instrument properly, it is important
that you read and follow the steps in this section. Please
follow these steps carefully and be sure to read Instrument
Operation before attempting to run tests on your instrument.
Step 1 — Find a location for the instrument
When choosing a location for your new osmometer, be sure to meet
the following criteria.
• Adequate space. The dimensions of the instrument are 12.5 ×17.5 ×
11.5 inches (32 × 44 × 29 cm). Be sure to keep your workplace free
of debris and allow 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space on each side of
the instrument for fan-driven air circulation.
• Electric outlet availability. Your instrument will need to operate
within five feet of a properly grounded, three-prong electrical
outlet capable of continuously supplying 2 amperes at 100-240V.
If the instrument is not grounded properly, its operation may be
impaired and a safety hazard may exist. Therefore, be sure to test
the outlet and record the results before operating your instrument.
Step 2 — Obtain additional items
To operate your instrument, you will need to obtain the following
items:
• Soft, no-lint, non-ionic paper tissues for wiping the sample probe.
• Clean, dry 0.2-mL or 0.25-mL pipette.
