WARNING
Improper calibration of the analyzer will produce inaccurate results. Before
calibrating the analyzer, carefully read the calibration procedure below. For
questions regarding the calibration, contact Ionics Instruments.
NOTE
For on-line measurement of low TOC water (<10 ppb) there may be a need to
recalibrate the TC Zero Offset during the first few months of operation. Check
the offset after ~1 week, ~4 weeks and ~2 months of operation as described in
this chapter.
NOTE
If the Oxidizer Reagent is more than 2 months old, it may be necessary to use a
higher oxidizer flow rate than the 2.5 or 2.0 µL/min. flow rate selected with the
S4-25 ppm Standard Preset.
NOTE
For instrument firmware with the DataGuard feature, enter a QA-level (or
higher) password when prompted. Check with your system administrator for an
appropriate password. See the DataGuard Operation chapter for more
information regarding the DataGuard feature.
