3.10 Instrument storage
3.10.1 General guidelines
When not in use, ensure the instrument is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF switch until the
green indicator light is extinguished. Refer to Figure 4 on page 14.
CAUTION
If the instrument is to be stored in an environment where the temperature is likely to be
0°C (32°F) or below, then to avoid any damage to the instrument make sure there is no
liquid inside. Do this by first running warm water through the instrument and dry by
flowing dry air or N
2
through it. Then turn the sample flow valve to the OFF position.
Refer to Figure 5 on page 14
3.10.2 Short term storage
For short term storage (between measurements or up to a maximum of 6 hours), leave the
sample in the instrument by turning the sample flow valve to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 5
on page 14.
3.10.3 Overnight or weekend storage
When storing the instrument overnight or over a weekend, run clean water through the
instrument to prevent passageways from becoming clogged and then turn the sample flow valve
to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 5 on page 14. Wipe down the outside of the instrument with
a clean damp cloth.
3.10.4 Long term storage
For long term storage (more than 1 week), run warm water through the instrument followed by
20 mL of ethanol (EtOH). Dry by flowing dry air or N
2
through the instrument, and then turn the
sample flow valve to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 5 on page 14. Wipe down the outside of
the instrument with a clean damp cloth. It is recommended to fully charge the battery prior to
any long term storage.
Note: If the instrument has been in storage for more than 4 weeks, remember to fully recharge the battery
pack before use.
