Section 5. Maintenance
General Maintenance The C3 is a very rugged instrument and, with proper care, should give years of service.
Following is a brief list of cautions and general maintenance considerations that will extend
the lifetime of the instrument.
• Follow customary, good laboratory practices.
• Clean all spills, especially salt solutions, on or near the cabinet immediately.
• Avoid placing the unit in a corrosive atmosphere.
• Avoid dropping, shaking, or other forms of mechanical abuse to prevent
loosening of components or subassemblies.
• Clean gas lines (rinse and wipe dry) after each use.
• Do not bend the auxiliary electrode (platinum wire) when removing or placing the
cell vial. Repeated bending will cause the wire to break.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause Solution
saturated signal reference tip not in lower reference
contact with solution
noisy signal clogged reference frit replace reference
air bubble in “flick” reference until bubbles
reference tip are at top
vibrations place on pad to dampen vibration
electrical line use Faraday Cage
frequency interference
spikes in power line power from a different circuit
variation in temperature variation use water-jacketed cell
peak height
