4 Handling and maintenance
4.1 General
The 864 Robotic Balance Sample Processor requires appropriate care.
Excess contamination of the instrument may result in functional disrup-
tions and a reduction in the service life of the sturdy mechanics and elec-
tronics of the instrument.
Severe contamination can also have an influence on the measured results.
Regular cleaning of exposed parts can prevent this to a large extent.
Spilled chemicals and solvents must be removed immediately. In particular,
the mains plug should be protected from contamination.
4.2 Care
￭ Check all tubing connections regularly for leaks.
￭ Flush out the tubing connections from time to time. The tubings must
be replaced after prolonged usage.
