Installation & Setup
To set up your instrument properly, it is important that you read
and follow the steps in this section. Please follow these steps care-
fully and be sure to read Chapter 2 — Instrument Operation
before attempting to run tests on your instrument. For those per-
forming Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operation Qualifica-
tion (OQ), please contact Advanced Instruments or authorized
dealer for more detailed documentation available.
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 23.6 ×
22.8 × 20.5 inches (60 × 58 × 52 cm). Be sure to keep your
workplace free of debris and allow 6 inches (15 cm) of clear
space on both sides and behind the instrument for fan-driven
air circulation.
• Electric outlet availability. Your instrument will need to oper-
ate within five feet of a properly grounded, three-prong elec-
trical outlet capable of continuously supplying 3 amperes at
100-250V. If the instrument is not grounded properly, its
operation may be impaired and it may be a safety hazard.
Therefore, be sure to test the outlet and record the results
before operating your instrument.
