The reservoir is located on the right side of the analyzer case.
1) Insure that the cap on the drain spout is securely tightened.
2) Remove cap from fill port on top of reservoir.
3) Pour distilled water into reservoir until it is half full (about one
quart). The water will automatically flow into the humidifier
column.
4) Replace cap on fill port and securely tighten. A missing or loose
cap will permit the sample to vent into the analyzer case.

The cell is packaged separately from the analyzer. It is filled with
distilled water to prevent oxidation of the electrodes from exposure to the
atmosphere. The cell should be left filled with the distilled water until the
analyzer is installed and ready for operation. The cell should not be exposed
to the atmosphere for any prolonged duration.

The cell electrolyte is Teledyne Type A, used in applications where
there is a complete absence of acidic anhydrides (CO
2
, SO
2
) in the sample
gas. Type A electrolyte is a 10% solution (w/v) of reagent-grade potassium
hydroxide (KOH) in distilled water.
