5 Care and maintenance
5.1 Instrument care
The 828 IC Dual Suppressor requires adequate care. Excessive
contamination of the instrument could interfere with its functions and
reduce the working life of the really robust mechanism and electronics.
Spilt chemicals and solvents should be removed immediately. The
connections on the rear panel (and the mains connection in particular)
should be protected against contamination.
Although the design prevents liquid penetration to a great extent, if
aggressive media should enter the housing then pull out the mains
plug of the 828 IC Dual Suppressor immediately, in order to prevent
massive damage to the instrument’s electronics. In such a case
please contact the Metrohm Service Department.
The instrument should only be opened by experienced users. Please
observe the safety information given in Section 1.5.1.
5.2 Maintenance by Metrohm Service
The maintenance of the 828 IC Dual Suppressor should take place
within the framework of an annual service carried out by trained
Metrohm technicians.
The Metrohm Service Department will provide competent advice about
the care and maintenance of all Metrohm instruments.
5.3 Shutdown
If the 828 IC Dual Suppressor is not to be used for a long time then it
should be rinsed with ultrapure water, see Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2
Stop sequence.
5.4 Regular maintenance
The 828 IC Dual Suppressor is a very robust instrument intended for
virtually maintenance-free work. If it is used properly then only the CO
2
absorber cartridge needs to be replaced at regular intervals.
