instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.
This symbol, if noted on the instrument, references the instruction
manual for operation and/or safety information.
This symbol, when noted on a product enclosure or barrier, indicates
that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static
electricity, resulting in degraded performance or eventual failure.
This symbol indicates a laser device is used in the equipment.
This symbol indicates the need for protective eye wear.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of
in European public disposal systems after 12 August of 2005. In
conformity with European local and national regulations (EU Directive
2002/98/EC), European electrical equipment users must now return old
or end-of-life equipment to the Producer for disposal at no charge to
the user.
Note: For return for recycling, please contact the equipment producer or supplier
for instructions on how to return end-of-life equipment, producer-supplied electrical
accessories, and all auxillary items for proper disposal.
Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation,
IECS-003, Class A
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. This Class A digital
apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be
used to reduce interference problems:
4 English

1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or
is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the
interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Class 1 laser
A Class 1 laser is installed in this instrument. Class 1 lasers are products
where the radiant power of the laser beam accessible (the accessible
emission) is always below the Maximum Permissible Exposure value.
Therefore, for Class 1 lasers the output power is below the level at which
it is believed eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1
laser will not result in eye injury. Class 1 lasers may therefore be
considered safe. However, Class 1 laser products may contain laser
systems of a higher class but there are adequate engineering control
measures to ensure that access to the beam is not reasonably likely. This
Class 1 laser product complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1, subchapter J. It is
evaluated and tested in accordance with EN 61010-1, Safety
Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement and Control and
Laboratory Use and IEC/EN 60825-1, Safety of Laser Products.

the correct position for sampling.
16 English

1. If a small vial is used, insert the small vial clamp. Refer to Install the
small-vial clamp on page 13.
2. Put a sample container on the module.
3. Push the SET button to lower the sample probe to the correct position.
4. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to raise the sample probe to the top
position.
5. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to automatically move the sample probe
down and stop at the correct bottom position.
Note: This position is recognized by the external software.
The bottom position is saved until a new bottom position is set.
Flush the syringe
Flush the syringe when a new syringe is installed or when a new sample
is used. To optimize the performance of the syringe:
• Do not operate the syringe for more than a few cycles without liquid.
• Thoroughly flush the syringe with distilled or deionized water after use.
1. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to raise the sample probe.
2. Put the container with the flushing liquid under the sample probe.
3. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to lower the sample probe in the flushing
liquid.
4. Push the CLEAN button. The syringe fills with the flushing liquid and
pushes the liquid out to the drain.
Note: The system can also be flushed with the external software.
Put a vial in the small-vial clamp
The small-vial clamp holds small vials under the center of the sample
probe. To install the clamp assembly, refer to Install the small-vial clamp
on page 13.
Stop all operations
The STOP button can be used to simultaneously stop movement of the
syringe and sample probe. Use the buttons or external software to resume
operations.
Connect the computer cable
A USB cable connects the instrument to a computer.
1. Install a compatible software application on the computer.
2. Turn on the instrument power.
3. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the instrument and to the
computer.

Maintenance
C A U T I O N
Personal injury hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks
described in this section of the manual.
N O T I C E
Do not disassemble the instrument for maintenance. If the internal components
must be cleaned or repaired, contact the manufacturer.
Clean the instrument
Clean the exterior of the instrument with a moist cloth and a mild soap
solution.
Clean the syringe
Clean the syringe regularly to keep it working properly. Use a mild
detergent for standard applications. To find whether a different cleaning
solution is compatible with the instrument, refer to Specifications
on page 3.
1. Put a container with the cleaning solution on the docking module.
2. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to lower the sample probe.
3. Push the LOAD button to fill the syringe with the cleaning solution.
Note: If the plunger does not move easily in the syringe barrel, remove the
plunger, wipe the plunger with alcohol and wet the plunger seal with deionized
water.
4. Allow the solution to stay in the syringe for a minimum of 30 minutes.
5. Push the LOAD button to send the cleaning solution to the drain.
6. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to raise the sample probe.
7. Put a container with distilled or deionized water on the docking module.
8. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to lower the sample probe.
9. Push the CLEAN button to flush the syringe with the rinse water.
10. Repeat the flush with rinse water for a minimum of 10 cycles.
Troubleshooting
Back-flush the system
A large particle can reduce or stop the liquid flow. If this occurs, a flush in
the reverse direction can push the particle out through the sample probe.
1. Put a small waste container under the sample probe.
2. Push the LIFT/LOWER button to lower the sample probe.
3. Push and hold the BACK-FLUSH button until the back-flush cycle
starts.
The syringe fills with liquid from the drain tubing. When the syringe
closes, the liquid is sent through the sensor and sample probe.
4. Repeat the back-flush cycle as necessary until a flush in the forward
direction with a clean sample flows at a normal rate.
