3.1.4 Installation of the tubes
3.1.4.1 Installation of the tubes for the Ganimede P
1. Install all tubes of the analysis unit in accordance with Figure 11 Tube plan for
analysis unit P, page 22 .
2. Screw the large blue lid onto the empty waste bottle (1500 mL).
Note: The waste bottle can take the reagent and sample waste from 100 individual
determinations.
3. Connect reagents GCA 100 with the corresponding lids of the same color.
4. Install sample tube A.
To do so, lead the free end of sample tube A out through the left-hand side of the
analysis unit housing.
Connect the upper end of the sample needle with sample tube A.
5. Insert the sample needle into the guide of the sample changer arm.
Note: The sample needle must not reach the bottom of the sample container when magnetic
rods are used.
6. Install the suction tube for the rinse water of the sample needle.
To do so, connect the end with a screw thread to the permanently mounted tube on
the rear side of the sample changer.
Insert the free end of the suction tube into a bottle of distilled water.
Note: It is essential that the needle rinser is connected in order to make sure that a sample
batch drains faultlessly. Sufficient rinse water (distilled water) must be available at all times.

Potential danger with contact with chemical/biological substances.
Working with chemical samples, standards and reagents can be dangerous. Make yourself
familiar with the necessary safety procedures and the correct handling of the chemicals before
the work and read and follow all relevant safety data sheets.

Risk of injury to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract
During work with chemicals and/or solvents, it is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the
relevant accident prevention regulations and to wear suitable personal protective equipment for
the eyes, face, hands and body, and/or respiratory protection.
Make sure that the system is only unpacked, assembled, connected and operated by qualified
and trained personnel.
Make sure that the waste container and the drain hose are always positioned lower than the
sample changer. The rinsing fluid must be able to flow unimpeded.
Make sure that the tubes are not kinked or jammed.
Check the capacity of the waste bottles constantly.
