YSI 9600 - Manual (Page 36)

After all items have been checked, click the Next button to proceed to the Predeployment System Check as
described in Section 4.3 below
4.3 PREDEPLOYMENT SYSTEM CHECK
After clicking the Next button in the Check List box, the following screen will appear:
First, select the range in which you anticipate your field nitrate readings to be – 0-5 mg/L for “Normal”
readings and 5-10 mg/L for “High” readings – by clicking the proper button. Note that you should always
select the “Normal” setting when using a 9600-10 with a 10 mm detector cell.
Now make a decision on the running of a Predeployment System Check as described below.

Predeployment Check ,
But See Caution Below
From the above screen, you have the ability to choose one of two options:
• Run a Pre-Deployment System Check which will assure that your instrument will function correctly in
an upcoming deployment by clicking the button as shown in the figure above.
• Bypass the Predeployment System check and proceed immediately to the next portion of the
Deployment Wizard by clicking the Next button as shown in the figure below.
CAUTION: YSI strongly recommends that you perform a predeployment check prior to each
deployment. If you do NOT carry out the test, you may deploy your instrument for several days and
then find that your data is flawed because of some instrument malfunction, e.g., improperly installed
reagent bags or pinched tubing. Further, without the predeployment test, the accuracy of your data
may be compromised by the fact that you will not have calibrated the relative volumes of the sample
and standard pumps as described in Section 8.6 below. Finally, if you deploy without performing a
Predeployment Check and experience any difficulties with the system performance, it will be much
more difficult for the problem to be isolated by YSI Technical Support personnel. With this in
mind, USERS SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A PREDEPLOYMENT CHECK UNLESS ONE OF
THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BELOW IS RELEVANT.
