This chapter describes how the instrument is installed and gives instructions on the initial start-up.
NOTE
Inspect the instrument for damages during unpacking. If necessary, prepare a status report immedia-
tely to inform the postal company, railway company or transportation company.
Keep the original packaging for future transportation.
5 .1 Installation site
NOTE
We recommend to operate the instrument under a fume hood if e.g. diethyl ether or chloroform are
used. Do not operate the Extraction System B-811 under the same fume hood as the hydrolysis unit.
ATTENTION
To ensure the instrument safety do not place any object on top of it.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons, make sure that the distance between the instrument and another object or the
instrument and a wall is at least 30 cm.
ATTENTION
To ensure the proper functioning of the optical sensor do not expose the instrument to direct
sunlight.
Place the instrument on a stable, horizontal and clean surface.
5 .2 Electrical connections
ATTENTION
Make sure that the voltage on the socket corresponds to the voltage given on the type plate of the
instrument.
Always connect the instrument to an earthed socket. External connections and extension cables
must be provided with an earthed conductor lead (3-pole couplings, cable or plug equipment) as the
mains lead has a molded plug, thus avoiding risks due to inadvertent defective wiring.
Make sure that no electric sparks form in the instrument or its surroundings as they might damage
the instrument.
Electrical connections have to be made to the:
