Detailed explanation of the faults indicated in the flow diagram
1. Blockage of the lower connection of the glass tube (22)
The bore hole of the lower connection of the glass tube (22) can get blocked when there
isn’t enough quartz wool at the bottom end of the glass tube (22) enabling fine particles of
the magnesium perchlorate to fall into the bore blocking it. It is therefore absolutely
important to fill the glass tubes exactly according to the Instructions. See Operation
Manual “Filling the reagent tubes”.
Holes of other reagent tube connectors need to be cleaned from inside and outside of the
analyzer, due to the fact that the passage is not straight, but vertical outside and
horizontal inside the analyzer.
