Unpacking
Use caution when unpacking the digestor and accessories to avoid damage. Remove the
digestor unit from the carton first and carefully inspect all packing material to insure that
no accessories or small parts are discarded by accident. If damage from shipping has
occurred, the customer must file a claim with the carrier IMMEDIATELY! Do not return
any item to Labconco Corporation without written authorization from the factory. Your
local laboratory apparatus dealer can assist you and should be contacted if problems
occur.
Installation
• Locate the digestor unit under a suitable fume removal system to assure complete
removal of fumes and vapors given off during the digestion.
• Locate control unit outside hood away from any vapors or fumes. Damage to control
unit will result if subjected to corrosive vapors or fumes.
• Connect power cord from control unit to digestor unit. Remove calibration resistor
from 2-pin connector located on rear of control unit. Connect small diameter gray
sensor cord to the 2-prong receptacle provided.
• Connect main power cord from control unit to suitable electrical outlet. (208-240V
AC 3-wire installation fused at 25 amps for the 25-Place digestor or 115V AC for the
4-Place. Refer to electrical specifications pages 5 & 6).
• Adjust temperature set-point dial to approximately 300°C. Turn switch to ON
position. Red pilot light on controller panel will be illuminated along with the red
light(s) on the Digestor’s front panel.
• Allow approximately 40 minutes for unit to reach temperature setting. When unit
reaches temperature, the light(s) on the digestor unit will flash. When light(s) are on,
one half of the time the temperature indicated on the temperature dial has been
reached.
• Place digestion tubes in flask rack. System is now ready for operation.
CAUTION: Acid fumes given off during digestion are very corrosive. Digestion
unit must be placed in venting system that is totally resistant to acid fumes or
damage will result to the removal system. It is highly recommended that
Labconco’s fume removal system, designed for acid removal from digestors, be
used in conjunction with a laboratory fume hood.
