6. Daily Maintenance (manual)
Before performing the first calibration or measurement, the
9180 Electrolyte Analyzer needs to undergo a simple cleaning and conditioning
procedure that ensures the analyzer will perform properly. This daily maintenance
has to be performed each day before the analyzer is used.
The process involves cleaning and conditioning the sample path and electrodes,
which prepares the 9180 Electrolyte Analyzer for calibration. The bottles containing
Cleaning Solution and Sodium Electrode Conditioner should be ready, along with a
package of lint-free tissues that will be used to dry the probe.
