WARNING
For on-line applications, an in-line particle filter must be installed on the sample
inlet line to prevent damage to the instrument. If the water sample to be monitored
contains high levels of suspended solids, then the in-line filter must be replaced on
a regular basis.
WARNING
Do not run the instrument with the sample inlet line capped off as this can result in
false TOC readings and possible damage to the instrument.
WARNING
Hazardous chemical reagents (ammonium persulfate and phosphoric acid) are used
in the instrument. The waste stream from the instrument is acidic and must be
disposed of properly. Consult your state and local regulations.
WARNING
Do not adjust the pressure regulator on the sample inlet system. The pressure is
preset to 5 psi. Changing the inlet pressure can damage the analyzer and void the
warranty. Do not let the inlet pressure exceed 5 psi.
WARNING
Always stop TOC measurements before turning off or unplugging the instrument.
Turning off the instrument while it is writing to the RAM card may damage the
card.
WARNING
Make sure the DI Reservoir is full, particularly when running samples with high
TOC or high salt concentrations. Always “clean-up” the instrument by running
low TOC DI water after running high TOC or salt samples.
WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause
