Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective
equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets
(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Refer to the MSDS for instructions to safely clean reagent spills and leaks. Obey all local and federal
regulations to dispose of cleaning materials.
Clean spills
C A U T I O N
Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in accordance with local, regional and
national regulations.
1. Obey all facility safety protocols for spill control.
2. Discard the waste according to applicable regulations.
Replace the reagent
C A U T I O N
Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in accordance with local, regional and
national regulations.
Note: Do not pour the remaining reagent into new bottles.
One 500-mL bottle of each buffer and indicator solution can be used for approximately 2 months.
1. Discard the old containers with remaining contents in compliance with MSDS and regulatory
requirements.
2. Install the new bottles. Refer to Install the buffer solution on page 15 and Install the indicator
solution on page 15.
Change the alarm trip point
Install the applicable buffer and indicator solution to change the alarm trip point to a different
hardness level. Let the instrument operate for 2 hours to purge the used reagents. Calibrate the
instrument again. Refer to Trip point specifications on page 4 and to Calibration on page 17.
Replace the pump tubes
Over a period of time, the clamping action of the pump/valve module will soften the tubing. This
causes the tubing to break and prevents liquid flow. Leaks can occur. The tubing wear is increased at
high temperatures. Therefore, the pump tube replacement schedules are based on the ambient
operating temperature. Refer to Maintenance schedule on page 18 for the maintenance interval.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the maintenance kit.
