Operational Hazards and Precautions
Read the Operator’s Manual before setting up or operating the
EasyStat analyzer.
Observe all Warnings, Notes, and Key Information in this manual.
Failure to leave the analyzer connected to power with a reagent mod-
ule in place could damage the electrodes, sensor module, valve mod-
ule, and pump tubing.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the analyzer. When
electromechanical problems beyond the scope of this Operator’s
Manual are suspected, DO NOT open the back cover. Contact your
EasyStat dealer.
Use only the supplied 3-wire (UL approved) power cord, or equiva-
lent. The power cord of the analyzer must be connected to a matching
grounded outlet supplying 110~VAC, 50/60 Hz or 220~VAC, 50/60
Hz. The analyzer contains sensitive electronics and must be properly
grounded.
DO NOT plug the analyzer into a circuit protected by a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI).
The safety protection provided by the analyzer may be impaired when
the analyzer is used in any way other than as is outlined in this manual.
