Installation
4.13 Analyzer startup
At this stage the analyzer has been completely installed. However, you will be required to enter
data using the display panel functions to make the analyzer operational. Therefore, in order to
familiarize yourself with data entry procedures, it is advisable to read the section entitled
Operating Instructions on page 33 before continuing.
Once you are familiar with data entry procedures, connect the analyzer to the mains power
supply. Introductory screens will initially be displayed for about 60 seconds, before the main
measurement screen is displayed.
4.13.1 Reagents volume declaration
The reagent and calibration solution canisters have been filled with 2 liters of solution. The
analyzer must be set up to reflect this.
Select the Menu option from the display and select the MAINTENANCE option from the display,
followed by the REAGENTS REFILL option. Set the BOTTLES FULL parameter to Yes. An
example of this screen is shown in section 9.8 on page 64. You can also check that the values
have been set to 2 liters by selecting the ADJUST VOLUMES option.
4.13.2 Flow rate adjustment
Next, the flow rates for each measurement channel must be set. When the sample tubes were
connected, the flow valves were all closed (see section 4.6 on page 21). They must now be
opened to allow sample to flow and be measured. To do this select the STARTUP option from
the MAINTENANCE menu and follow the instructions described in section 9.7 on page 64.
4.13.3 System and user setup procedures
At this point, the analyzer has been completely installed and can begin sample measurement.
To do this, use the Esc function key to exit from the MAINTENANCE menu until you return to
the measurement display screen. Press the Start function key to start the measurement
process. The analyzer must be left to run for a period of two hours in order to stabilize.
During this stabilization period, you can setup the analyzer by first entering system data (see
System Setup on page 37) and user data (see User Setup on page 41).
Once the system and user data has been input and the two hour period of stabilization has
elapsed, the analyzer will need to be calibrated. Follow the procedures in Calibration on
page 51.
The analyzer should now be ready for use. If any problem should arise, please refer initially to
Troubleshooting on page 69. If the problem cannot be overcome, please contact your Hach
Lange representative who will be happy to help.
