Introduction
This manual contains complete instructions for setting up,
operation and maintenance of the model BWB-XP. Service
information for use by qualified personnel is available in the
separate Service Manual.
The Model range is intended for use by persons knowledgeable
in safe laboratory practices. If the instrument is not used in
accordance with these instructions, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
The BWB-XP is a multi-channel, low temperature Flame
Photometers for the simultaneous measurement of Na, K, Li, Ca,
and Ba in a variety of samples and applications. The instrument
is designed for ease of use and reliable, trouble-free operation.
With built-in air compressor, diagnostic indications, computer
interface and control, automatic gas shut off, choice of Single
Point, Multi-Point and Multi Ion calibrations and internal data
handling the BWB range provides a simple, yet fully capable,
instrument for the modern laboratory.
The BWB-XP employs a low temperature flame using air and
propane, butane, or a combination of the two (as in LPG).
Diagnostic indications of several parameters are displayed on the
front panel. Safety cut off of the gas supply is provided through
constant monitoring of the flame and air pressure. If the flame
should extinguish for any reason, the gas will automatically stop
flowing with a correspondent light on the panel and an audible
signal alerting the user. The instrument is fitted with an internal
gas sensor and will shut off the gas supply if gas is detected; The
shut down procedure will operate and a warning message will be
displayed. Turn off the power to the instrument and stop the
leak before re-attempting to light the instrument.
The BWB-XP employs microprocessor technology to generate
and store calibration curves, thus eliminating the need to
manually graph and calculate the results.
In Single Point mode a Blank solution and one Standard are
used when the samples lie within the linear range. For samples
that are higher in concentration the Multi-Mode uses a Blank
and up to 10 Standard solutions to effect the curve.
Embedded in the instrument enclosure is a built-in air
compressor. A unique electronic control system automatically
regulates the air pressure/flow to the optimum levels. No user
adjustments are necessary to achieve maximum performance.
Adjustments, if required, can be carried out in Service mode.
Provision for an external source of compressed air is included.
A Starter Pack is included as standard with the model range. It
comprises Standard solutions, volumetric ware, sample cups,
and some initial consumables. Everything needed to begin
immediate testing.
The instrument can be used with or without our FP-PC
software. The software allows reporting and data storage over
and above that possible running the instrument
independently.
