3 Installation
Installing the Cover Kit
A Protective Cover is available as an optional accessory. It is used to
protect:
• samples from drafts, dust and airborne contamination
• the operating environment and/or the autosampler from the fumes or
solvent vapors arising from exposed liquids
• the operator from possible injury caused by the movement of the probe
arm or sharp edged sample probe
• the operator from sample fumes
It is made from transparent plastic panels provided in any easy- to- fit kit
form. When fitted, the protective cover creates a closed environment and
takes up no additional bench space. The autosampler working area is
accessed through a sliding door that can lock in a raised position to allow
for easy access to individual samples or racks.
Fitting the Spill Tray
NOTE
When you install the autosampler with the optional Cover Kit, install the Cover Kit before
installing the autosampler. For instructions on installing the Cover Kit, refer to “Installing
the Cover Kit” on Page 82.
WARNING
It is recommended that the autosampler is fitted with a Cover kit when handling
acidic solutions (samples, standards or rinse solutions), In this case, the fumes
must be extracted continuously and at all times through an exhaust hose, which is
connected to one of the Cover’s side panels.
Ensure that the autosampler does not have a cover kit installed if working with
organic solvents.
WARNING
To prevent you and the instrument from earthquake damage, it is recommended to
secure the main body of the autosampler on your bench before this step. For how to
secure, see “Preventing Earthquake Damage” on Page 94.
