5. INSTALLATION
5.1. GENERAL
Installation of the instrument entails:
(a) setting the instrument on a suitable platform with space beneath for two wide-mouth
plastic containers (one to catch possible tank overflow or drain water and one to catch
waste sample water), and within reaching distance of 115 V or 230 V ac supply and, if
possible, a water tap.
(b) connecting the supplied sample water tubing.
(c) filling the tank with distilled water. Allow for at least one hour after start-up for the tank
temperature to stabilize at room temperature.
(d) connection to BCD output, if appropriate (refer to Section 7 for details).
The supplied Standard Spare Parts Package (section 13) contains the required electrical
supply fuse, tubing and associated fittings, in addition to miscellaneous parts used for
special requirements.
5.2. PROCEDURE

spigots can lead straight downward to waste containers, then proceed with the following
procedures in sequential order.
5.2.1. PRELIMINARY CHECK
Step 1. Perform initial start-up as follows:
a) Ensure 115/230 V switch at bottom of rear panel is set to correct line voltage.
Check supplied fuse in fuse holder (110 V to 120 V, 4 A slow-blow; or 220 V
to 240 V, 2 A slow-blow as appropriate.
b) Plug line cord into socket at bottom of rear panel and into line supply outlet.
Ensure FUNCTION switch is set to STANDBY.
c) Switch power on.
Step 2. Check the cooling fans, by feeling for air flow at the openings at the rear.
