Maintenance and care
96 Edition 01/2016 multi EA 4000
Caution: Support the reactor with one hand
when removing the hoses from the connections.
Pressure from one side might break the reactor.
It is also possible to first pull the reactor out of
the coupling and then remove the connections.
4. Unscrew the connection for the acid supply.
Remove the ceramic cannula from the con-
nection.
Caution! Make sure that the acid does not
drip from the hose onto the device.
5. Rinse the ceramic cannula with ultrapure
water and wipe it clean with cellulose.
Caution! The ceramic cannula is very frag-
ile!
6. Pull off the argon and oxygen supply hoses.
7. Put the acid container and drip tray aside.
8. Whilst holding the connection rings rotate
the knurled ring counterclockwise. This
loosens the seal around the reactor.
9. Pull the reactor out of the seal of the con-
nection rings.
10. Check the reactor for cracks and bursts.
Note:
Only use intact reactors.
11. Clean the reactors with a suitable detergent and brush or cellulose, if necessary.
12. Rinse the reactor with ultrapure water and dry it.
13. Slide the reactor back into the coupling and secure it by tightening the knurled ring.
14. Attach the acid and gas connections to the reactor and re-install the FPG 48 (see
section "Connect the reactor and sampler FPG 48" p. 73 and "Retrofitting the sam-
pler " p. 142).
