Maintenance
There are two types of shutdown that need to be performed on the SP-series analyzer,
• Shutdown 1 should be performed at least every 24hrs if analyzer continuously in use, six
days a week.
• Shutdown 2 Should be performed once a week on the day that shutdown 1 is not
performed.
To perform either shutdown procedure ensure that the analyzer status displays ready. NOTE: If
analyzer is on a tracked system please ensure analyzer is isolated so that no further work is sent
to the SP-series analyzer.
