Instrument Installation Procedure
To install the ANKOM
XT15
Extraction System, follow the procedure detailed below.
1. Remove the instrument from the shipping container and place in an area that is free of dust and excessive
moisture, and is well ventilated (away from any heat or ignition sources).
Because the ANKOM
XT15
Extraction System is a closed system, there is very
limited exposure to solvents. When used in conjunction with a charcoal filter on
the vent line the instrument produces less than 1ml of volatiles. It is the user’s
responsibility to determine whether venting of this instrument requires placement
in a hood. Please follow both local and federal regulations when installing this
instrument.
2. Connect the tube from the top fitting to the water supply and the one from the bottom fitting to the drain.
Ensure that there are no kinks or bends in any of the tubing connected to the
instrument.
3. Connect the vent flask to the Vent Flask Connector on the instrument and run the tubing to the inline
charcoal filter. Periodically check the vent line to verify that it is free from any blockage or kinks.
Generally, there should not be any significant solvent in the vent flask. Any solvent visible in the flask
may indicate a problem with the water supply to the instrument.
Change the Charcoal Filter every 3 months or after 100 extraction runs.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded receptacle.
