GETTING STARTED
UNPACK AND INSPECT THE SYSTEM
• Verify that all components have been received, and inspect components
for shipping damage. Immediately report any shipping damage to your
service provider.
• Retain one set of packaging materials. Analyzers requiring service by the
manufacturer must be returned in the original packaging materials. If the
original packaging materials are not available, contact your service
provider to order a replacement.
BRING THE ANALYZER TO ROOM TEMPERATURE
• The IRMA TruPoint temperature operating range is 12-30°C (54-86°F). If
the analyzer is exposed to a temperature outside of that range for a
significant period of time, an instrument temperature error message may
display. The analyzer must equilibrate at a temperature within the
temperature operating range for a minimum of 30 minutes before testing
may resume.
ASSEMBLE THE CHARGER
• Connect the power supply to the IRMA TruPoint charger.
• Connect the wall cord to the power supply.
• Plug the wall cord into an electrical wall outlet (110 VAC/60Hz or 220
VAC/50 Hz).
CHARGE THE BATTERY
Conditioning Charge:
Prior to initial use, condition each battery as follows:
• Insert a battery into the battery charger. The battery should ‘click’ into the
charger when properly inserted. The yellow light indicates that the battery
is charging. Charge the battery for 24 hours.
• After 24 hours, remove the battery from the charger, then reinsert the
battery into the charger. Leave the battery in the charger until the green
light flashes continuously, indicating that the battery is fully charged. The
battery should remain in the charger until it is needed for use in the
analyzer.
Routine Charge:
See Section 6-Charging the Battery - Routine for routine battery charging
instructions.
