Transporting
This section describes the proper procedure for transporting the
UWCPC short distances and how to prepare the instrument for
shipping and storage.
Local Transporting
The following procedure may be used to transport the UWCPC over
short distances such as across a lab, down the hall on a cart, and
even a short drive in a vehicle, as long as the instrument is not
subjected to tipping of more than 45 degrees or prolonged freezing
temperatures.
1. Disconnect any connections to the Sample Inlet.
2. Turn on the UWCPC.
3. Drain the UWCPC.
a. Connect a Drain bottle to the Drain connector on the back
panel of the UWCPC.
b. Press the Drain/Prime button on the front panel of the
UWCPC to bring up the drain menu.
c. Press and hold the Drain/Prime button to active the drain
cycle. Let the water drain from the reservoir for the one-
minute drain cycle. Little or no water may drain if the
reservoir is nearly empty.
